Re: Drivers side door

I just went back through the receipts and the door latch was a brand new part from TPS apparently so that rules that part out (I think)

I will check the wiring part in the door if that seems feasible

Drivers side door

Right guys this has been annoying me for a long time now and I need to get it sorted coming to winter. Most of the time now, I come to the drivers door after unlocking with the fob and the handle just feels like there is no resistance, I use the windows down on the fob and pull the inside handle and...

Re: Washer jets

Hi,

No, cant hear the pump with the bonnet up either.

I didn't want to disturb anything on the bonnet side as the jets look like its integrated into the underside.

I will pull the pipe from the nozzle and see what happens and report back

Washer jets

Hi Guys,

Washer jets aren't working, can't hear the pump but don't know how loud they are on these cars anyway (should it be audible?)

I have looked online to see if there was a fuse for the B6 washer pump but couldn't find anything, some said it was controlled by the control module?

Re: Removing the plastic intercooler pipe on a BKP

No I haven't tried any cleaner yet, apparently the caked up stuff wouldn't move with dynamite ha ha
I think I will get some Wynns and run it first
Thanks again

Re: Electronic Brake Stuck

Just to add to this, its also much cheaper to replace the switch. Make sure you get a genuine one, I tried a few non genuine that didn't fix my issue, genuine one did first time. Pop the side cover off (to the right of the switch) and push the switch from the back to get it out, might be worth just ...

Re: Removing the plastic intercooler pipe on a BKP

Mines the opposite, in 2nd, 3rd and 4th it'll get to around 3 or 4k before it goes into limp mode. 5th and 6th gear its always around 2,500 rpm. I haven't checked the N75 and wouldn't even know how to, so I was just going for the cheapest part to replace first and work at it that way really. Thanks ...

Re: Removing the plastic intercooler pipe on a BKP

Thanks for the info :-bd Mine suffers from the engine management light at around 2,500rpm and I've been reading a lot online and its usually suggested to try and replace this sensor before the turbo, its usually the turbo caked in cr*p but as mine is a little intermittent as in sometimes if you driv...

Do you have the part number for the replacement bolts?

Also why did you change the sensor?

Re: B6 Drivers door wont shut.

pull the door shut from the inside and see if you can use the central locking button on the door to lock it, does it hold?
I had the same and it was mainly in frosty weather. Mine needed a new module

Re: Help please and Hello all

Have you tried another battery? It sounds like the battery isn's supplying power to buttons.

I think when you are starting the car, it only requires the chip to be read (no battery power)
