This time last year I managed to get hooked up with a "friends and family" discount on sky subscription

Can anybody help us out again with another discount code? Really can't afford 80 quid a month to watch tv!

Thanks

cheers for all the helps guys, I really appreciate it , i'll have a nosey at all them links later on.

yeah, that's another thing I need to check, the condition of the plugs.......cheers man

Have you renewed all the vacuum hoses, are they all clamped tight. I think you're just adding to the problem using the MBC. The MAF is the most common failure on these cars, have you done a log with that yet ?What air filter are you using? as I said, I haven't a clue with vagcom, what group would I...

car has been re-mapped though, so the ecu isn't backing off at 1bar, I've never had a problem in all the years its been pushing nearly 1.5bar constant, its just recently.....that's why I need to find out what the problem is? also as I had the problem before the mbc was fitted, its not the mbc causin...

The N75 controls the boost curve, not the amount of boost, that is controlled by the ECU which will only give you 12 psi maximum. The MAP sensor in the side mount intercooler is a 1 bar MAP sensor and you will be exceeding that, even with the N249 bypassed the ECU can shut down the throttle body if...

right chaps, who can help with this vag-com thingy? I just don't seem to have power, boost gauge is reading 1.4-1.5bar, but it feels as if something is really holding the car back ~x( what channels would I need to log to find a fault, ie maf, timing, boost etc etc?? thanks in advance for any help :((

Have a look at the link see if it can help... http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/235106-DIY-B6-1-8t-Vacuum-line-and-Check-Valve-removal-simplification I have managed to read about 5 pages, but not found much that relates to my problems really. but its still a good read though ;) little up...

cheers man! i'll have a nosey when I get chance. I think it might be to do with the fact I have by-passed the n75. even though its still plugged in, its not measuring anything, as its out of the loop.... i'm prob wrong, but I have just re-plumbed in the n75 so that I have now set it up so that its a...

yeah I have, but havent got a clue what to look for. I wouldn't know good from bad readings

anyone??

help guys ~x( problem i have is that i have no acceleration when at "wot". the car is boosting to the requested 18psi in the manifold but has no power? i have fitted a forge unos mbc, and set that up to hold 18psi, and the boost gauge is reading steady. it seems to pull normal under partia...

well the mrs wanted her new bus colour coding to her lemon yellow beetle, so got stuck in and done this in a whole hour........... :hyst http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/VicsVWpics/IMG_7374.jpg http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/VicsVWpics/IMG_7377.jpg primered...... http://i755.photob...

Did mine the same way Chris said. Had to give it quite a hefty whack though I've had the beam loose to re-centre it (left/right) as one wheel poked more than the other, and tried moving it back at the same time as shifting it over to one side, but it wont go back no where near enough to re-centre t...

3 bolts either side on the beam bushes and it should slide back a bit weather it will move far enough is a different story

tried that, theres not that much movement in the mounting plates to be honest

i'm trying to source some of these, but for the Passat. as u know, when u slam mk4's bora Passat jetta ets the rear axle beam moves forward the more lower u go, the mk4 boys have this soloution.... http://www.awesomegti.com/ecs-tuning-mkiv-rear-wheel-centering-plates but what's out there for a b5/b5...

when u have filled it up, have u only filled it to the correct "max" filling point or have u just topped it up fully? if u have over filled it then the expansion tank will chuck out some water until it reaches the correct level between "min" "max"?

could be the water pump failing mate, I'm prob wrong, but something is causing the water to overheat by the sounds of it. so its either headgasket starting to go(but u say water is clean? is the oil clean?) so the other thing could be water pump that's not doing its job and just spinning on the spin...
