Sorted!!! Found that there was 2 vacuum pipes disconnected! One at the back of the engine and one by the air box. Thanks for help folks

Um, I changed the air filter last weekend. Wonder if its gradually worked loose then. Cheers.

right will check that tomorrow. vacuum leak would sound more like it. good point with the codes.

cheers

hi. been out this evening and coming home I felt the car loose power all of a sudden (think its gone in to limp mode) then came to brake at the next junction and the brake pedal has gone rock hard with a drop in brake performance. I wondered if the servo has gone and this may cause the vcart to go i...

lol, I bloody hate caravanning, unfortunately the caravan replaced my last bike :(( (TL1000s) had a couple of gixxers over the years. oil cooled and srad (Rizla paint). amongst many others. never had a K series one, very nice bikes. :-bd though after having the TL I would love a other v twin. the gr...

hopefully im going to do mine the end of next week. got to go away in the crappy caravan for a few days first

oh yes.

Lol, no problem I'll ask him tonight. Tbh the reason I have chosen this colour is that we have a Black A3 and that had gunmetal wheels on it and it looks really smart.

cheers. think im going to go for it and do them that colour. also thinking of tinted side repeaters and maybe change the front lights.

Hi, next week im planning on refurbing my wheels as they are really scabby. A friend has done a photoshop as I was wondering about doing them gunmetal grey. I really like them. I know some people don't like black/grey wheels but I think these really suit the car. what do you think? http://farm9.stat...

ffs. its bloody started going off again. opened the boot and water has run out oiff the lock again!!!!!!!!!

well stripped the whole boot lid today. the plug on the boot lock was green with corrosion and a couple of other plugs were still wet. had the lock/number plate lamp fixture out to and made some new seals. i do think that a new boot seal is on the cards as it does look quite rough/worn on the rear p...

well coming home tonight from work i had the luggage compartment open warning on the dash. i pulled over and the boot was slightly open! and more water came out of the lock. it took a couple of slams to get it to shut. i had the warning on and off all the way home after that. when i got in i parked ...

if i do that will it deactivate the alarm altogether though as the indecators will still flash won't they? and the alarm will still have been triggered even though theres no sound?

sorry if im been thick lol

Guess what, mines started going off again :(( pulled the trim of the boot lid last night and dried those out as there was lots of condensation. checked conectors behind the kick panel and they are all dry. will vagcom give a reading of whats triggering the alarm and are you able to disable the alarm...

i had this before xmas. even though mines a saloon i had water inside the boot lid. it was coming in from one of the corners underneath, theres a small taped off hole which i assume is there to drain any anti corrosion coating when dipped before the car is painted.? any way This had come off and was...

hi.
does anyone happen to have a part number for the drivers side rear door lock mechanism for a b5.5 saloon?.

thanks chris

i had a front spring go the week before xmas on my130 sport. the paint dot code is 1x blue and 1x grey. eurocar parts had a spring listed as the right one for my car for £30. it is not correct as its like a 'Universal' spring and it was too big. It turns out you can only get the sport springs as ge...
