:sad: sadly the time had come to part company with the wagon.... :sad: Ive had a company car since June last year, and with a daughter just turned 17 and already having lessons it was time for a change. She was in great shape for a 12 year old motor, the gent who bought it couldnt belive how fresh i...

2003 is the change point . A 2003 car registered up to 6 months in could of been built late 2002 . Only way to tell if an eml is going to come up is bottom right of build sticker. OGE no eml OGZ yes eml will light up . I've a February 2003 but the interior plastics have late 2002 dates and OGE , so...

I have had a kit sitting waiting to be fitted to my AWX for over a year, I asked this question then and sure the answer was 04 onwards would throw up an emmisions light so the egr would need mapping out. Up to 03 no need to map out and no lights or fault codes to be reset. Im sur there will be a mor...

Best place is through the ECU housing

Has he vented the coil in the cylinder?
Also is the cylinder stat asking for the valve to open?
If no signal to call for the valve to turn it will remain shut, thus no hot water.
If he has put a new complete 3 way valve in including motorised head, he may have the wiring wrong?

As said the tension on this spring seated diaphram is quite strong but would 100% say gas tight given the deposits on the seat. Just a quick one for Karl, I was told the anti shudder prevents "run away" by starving the engine of O2 ? Ive cleaned my egr twice now and am contemplating deleti...

Millers is great stuff cured mine, cheap diesel and short runs are the culprit

Hi welcome to ukp
Have you checked the multiplug nest in the passenger kick panel area?
Part them and look for the green corrosion, the pins can rot away even though visually the plugs loog fine.
The ccm needs to be the same part number and from a car with identical spec.
Hope this helps

Hey David
Great to see you back on the scene again and winning trophies
Looking immaculate as always.
Hope you and the family are well
Best
Scott

Here you go pal

I had the same issue
After I did a continuity test on the glow plugs I found 2 dead ones (1 behind fuel filter bracket)
Replaced all problem solved bursts into life when cold with no smoke
As far as im aware glow-plugs also come on occasionally to help emissions etc.

I put a Valeo one in mine , never had any issues with it . Ditto no issues Make sure you scrape out the grit and remove the sponge from the sides where the rad sits, these hold water against the aluminium part of the rad, eventually rotting it through. You may want a couple of u clips for the rad p...

235 45 17 also good . Agreed but a lot of Audi wheels have a higher ET so with this size tyre will catch the suspension My Largos are ET 41 225 tyres not much between the strut and the tyre Im sure B 5.5 standard wheels are ET 36 ? 17 in my opinion style and comfort get XL extra load tyres as the s...

The forte flush and imv cleaner has got me out a so many problems its un true! Its great stuff and if your an agent there technical support and back up is 100% Very true Dave Im tempted to put the VNT Forte turbo cleaner through it as well, my car only really does the about town and school run stuf...

I agree it's best used on a 6 monthly serviced car , on a poorly serviced one it could be a disaster . As you have said my local vw independent said unless he knew the service history he wouldn't recommend this. Always been happy with the results, may be all in my head :-? Thinking the inside of th...

Interesting comments about the flush, my car AWX has had this done every time it has an oil change every 6000 miles It stinks while the car is running literally a detergent to disolve the deposits that build up in the crank case that can drop into the galleries. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x2...

All oem parts from TPS and the longlife 3 was only £24 inc vat...
Used forte diesel engine flush before the oil change and sucked all oil from the oil cooler with vac pump
Ran for 30 mins with flush in old oil before changing.

Mot today gents
All good did my full service and engine flush plus glow plugs 2 x dead, well happy running like a swiss watch
No advisories apart from undertray and engine covers restricting inspection of all parts...?
Happy days

I had the same scenario I had to cut out some of the multiplugs grey one had bad corrosion and pins were gooshed...! I soldered these wires together one by one and the issues were solved...! Not a fan of contact spray, if there is green verdegris deposit on the multi plugs cut them out pal Keep the ...

Have a look at the multi plugs behind the passenger kick panel.
These may look ok but they can get soaked from the pollen filter leaking part them and check for corrosion

Cheers Karl
Top right up fella
Weekend job me thinks
