Re: Remote key matching

Hi
I have had this with a golf and the only way to code in a new key/ used keys was to delete all the keys and start fresh.
But you need the right tools to do this and must be 100% you have the skc or the tools to pull the skc pin.

Re: Cam Belt Change

This is why there so much and not many people want to touch them
I know of a few now that have had all sorts of running problems when not using this tool but using the old school bar and pin or even tipex

Re: Stinky diesel smell and white smoke from exhaust

Injector balance might give you an idea
Also check the fuel pressure on the test point of the tandem pump test point if its the injector o rings you will get a low reading where its leaking past
Is the oil level high?
