Cheers, Just some wet and dry first, then polish with cutting pad and polish then a finishing pad and light polish..

Here is the headlight done with wet and dry

Nope.. saw this and thought why not!!

Couple of small things to sort out.. Headlights - borrowed a mates polisher and gave them a quick once over..

Hi, As baby no 3 is on the way it was time to sell my Audi A4 cab and get something more practical. So I managed to pick this up a month or so back.. 52 plate and seems to have been very well looked after, all belts have been done as well as the clutch.. bought with 95k on it. Nice in the silver wit...

That's great that the carbon clean worked.. I had the same issue on my wife's 110 Octavia, although I did the Mr muscle treatment and actuated the VNT on the turbo with a handheld pump..

Those engines are great and respond well to a tuning box..

TBH I wouldn't bother, I would expect marks on a 12 year old car.. you won't get your money back..

I had my lowers bumpers and door blades colour coded on a A4 I had, it was done 8 years ago and it's still 100%

£22 on a sensor seems to of sorted it.. starting to love the car now.. very capable.. and my past 2 cars have been VAG 1.8T's so the power delivery is very different and also the 4wd is seems great..

It would just be the timing belt then? it was done 25k ago, so hopefully it wouldn't of just skipped a tooth..

I have a newby thread over here..

Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys.. I was on here a few years back with my wives 2.0 sport B5.5.. I'm back again with a 2002 B5.5 2.8 4motion saloon.. nice big cruiser.. It's 95k on it, decent history, interior in great nick, detachable towbar, clutch and belts have been done, and has exhaust.. some pics.. http://i467.photob...

The VCDS lead I use is actually a serial lead and works through a USB convertor, so hopefully that will work..

Brilliant, so I should be able to do this with my current VCDS lead and my windows 7 laptop using easyCCM.. Any links to it?

So is it a case of reading the software coding from the old CCM and changing the coding on the new CCM to match?

So what did you use to recode it? Vag-com or VDS pro?

Under the passenger side in UK.. I removed the front seat so I could get access. Just lift the carpet back and unlug the ccm, then strip the black loom tape off the loom and start checking the wiring nodes.. I cut and soldered every one I came across as they were green with corrosion..

Thanks for that, can I use vag-com or does it need to be vdspro? As I still haven't got it working yet, I don't have a laptop old enough to have a serial port and dos..

I had a similar issue with my superb. Door lights worked and interior lights worked when switched on but not when the door opened. I found corroded wiring around the ccm, just check each of the wiring nodes and cut back and solder any corroded connections.. It sorted mine and they are now 100%.

Thanks, yes the part of the original one installed is 1c0 959 799 B - ZM max 5DK 008 214-00 III 50501:H01/S0001 I installed one from a Golf which works fine apart from the boot lock, I have since bought another module as below, 1c0 959 799 B - ZM max 5DK 008 214-00 I23202 : H01/S0003 But when instal...

I have similar issues, The wife has a 2001 2.0 petrol sport estate, the CCM was buggered when we bought the car, I had to rewire most of the connectors and replaced the CCM with one from a golf / bora, everything work bar the rear boot lock, it stays on the half catch most of the time, it does close...

Hi guys, The wife has a 2001 2.0 petrol (115bhp) sport estate, it has had the usual convenience module issues so a I replaced the module with one from a MK4 golf. everything mostly works but the locking is a bit funny and needs 3 or 4 presses to unlock etc.. The CCM had been tampered with before we ...
