Abso-blooming-lutely

Just thought I'd update this as I have now removed the kit from the car this weekend even though it was still working fine... the car however is looking a bit ruff now and fancy a change so have a late 2001 Mk4 golf GT TDI 110 which qualifies for the cheaper tax. So 5 years of motoring on waste chip...

Sorry to resurrect this thread... so has anyone successfully fitted a B5.5 hatch to a B5? I have the opportunity to get a whole B5.5 for 50 quid with light front damage and my rear hatch is rusting badly so would be good to swap them over :( Alternatively how much of a nightmare would it be to swap ...

Took it apart just now and looks like it's just a plastic clip which has broken all goes up and down as it should so looks like I just need a pair of THESE Cheers for the 'how to' JA top notch that. I'm hoping I don't have to strip it down that much just to replace a clip! Thanks to everyone for chi...

I assume you guys didn't go for THIS cheaper repair kit?

A link to the 'how to' you used would be great JA1987.

cheers

What you upto at the weekend

Thanks very much for the quick responses, best take the door cover off and see what they broke.

Hi All, Just took my car for an MOT and only failed on track rod end which I was well chuffed with.. however when they put the drivers window down to do the brake test the window dropped to the bottom of the door. They propped it up with a bit of wood and I guess it would have happened to me sooner ...

I was hitting it hard with one of these



Still seems to wind in and out though !

Think I'll pull one off tonight and see if it still winds in and out...

Bit over enthusiastic with the hammer me thinks

After 3 years of advisories on low rear pads I thought it was time to change them. I went full steam a head with no research or reading pulled the calipers off and got the G-Clamp out to push the pistons in to no avail... I then moved swiftly onto the big hammer and drift approach and whacked the pi...

Sorry to jump in on this thread but my drivers heated seat doesn't seem to want to play most of the time. I've tried swapping the switches and still no joy however it does spring into life about once every 2 months for no apparent reason then goes back to not working. It was working the other week o...

A fun fun morning getting the manifolds/ turbo and engine mount off to find a rusty core plug !

Off to the search button to see what the deal is replacing these bloomin things! Not looking forward to putting it beack together I have to say, I also snapped a darn stud in the process

Hi all, Got home from playing footy tonight to find water pouring from under the car, a small stream in less than a minute... I looked down the road to see a trail so must have started at least a few hundred yards from home. Any way I climbed under and it's really difficult to see where the hell it'...

Nice one.

Could someone tell me what size the ID is on these little pipes thinking of replacing them all with some silicon as it's normally pretty cheap on ebay.

Cheers

Limp mode again coming home from work tonight but only 2 error codes... 2 Faults Found: 18058 - Powertrain Data Bus: Missing Message from Instrument Cluster P1650 - 35-00 - - 17958 - Charge Pressure: Control Deviation P1550 - 35-00 - - I'm thinking trip to scrappy on Saturday and rob a car of its Ma...

Did you get any kind of error code that suggest the MAP Sensor was at fault?

I checked the multitude of little pipes for spits and couldn't find anything... the plug going into the N75 was a bit loose so hoping that might have something to do with it ! Well I say the N75 I think that is what it was is it the thing next to the bulk head connected to the plastic intercooler pi...

The last few days I've found my car going into limp mode or at least that is what I think it is basically like driving the car with out the turbo bloomin sluggish. Anyway it seems to happen after I gone over about 60 MPH if I stop and turn off and start again the car seems fine. I have just ran VAGC...

I tried the manual approach a while back to no avail, I'm sure a few people on here said it didn't work for them so assumed that I was doing it correctly and that my car was one of the ones that refused to accept the manual reset.

Adjusting the timings on the .bat file sounds like a plan.

cheers

I seem to be up and running of sorts thanks to lcf13 but I seem to get the following when I do a autoscan.. it seems to scan ok when I do individual components but won't let me reset service indicator.

Any pointers much appreciated.



Cheers

Just got me one of them Blue cables from the bay and it says to install shareware 409.1 where do I find this?

I've downloaded the vcds software from here (both) is it one of these?

As it's running on chip fat it probably has several things such as heaters wired in and possibly pumps how are all of these things connected and are they likely to be causing an issue. Karl. Not my thread I was just saying I seem to suffer the same issues. The heatexchanger is just plumbed into the...

I swapped the transponder over after a bit of head scratching on how to get it out of the key and put it in the switch blade and working a treat :-bd Now it is clear to me if I lose this key I'm without a working key although I have 3 spare keys I only have the 1 transponder so what is the cheapest ...

Interesting.. I assume the PO removed it ! Would it be possible to remove the transponder from my non switch blade working key and stick it to the column or summut so my keys don't require a transponder in them ! Just a thought. Otherwise I guess I need to buy a virgin transponder from ebay or such ...
