You need to scan it for faults and go into the measuring blocks of the ABS system.

My bet is still on a wiring / connector issue.

And..................................?

Was it pulled?

Partial Pressue.

Partial pressure is when you need to exert a little force to get a fart out. It is a highly dangerous state of affairs as there is always a danger that it is not actually a fart at all and is actually in a solid state.

Been reading this thread with interest even the Porka interlude bit was interesting but back onto the mapping, a few questions... Anyone a real Guru who has the lead / cable willing to do someone elses (i.e. mine) ? :hyst Does the MAP do or carry out an EGR delete (mapped out) on our cars, website d...

I reckon the Nitrogen is a right con.

What do they charge, £1 per wheel?

A bottle of Nitrogen is about £130 or £80 refilled and would probably do 500+ wheels.

A big profit generator for those who they can get to believe the hype.

Oh, don't get confused by the parking sensor module in the back ground of the ciggy socket pic, it has nothing to do with the towbar wiring.

Couple of things / thinks... 1, Check for fault codes. Note that the brake light switch is a duel output switch so whilst the brake lights might be shining, the other output to the ECU might be duff. 2, With VCDS, also log into the ABS system, go to measuring blocks and observe the rotational speed ...

Fore me personally a sustained run would in excess of 30 minutes and over 60mph. For DPF regeneration though there may be more specific instructions. I don't know as my car does not have one. To add, on any turbo diesel with a VNT (variable nozzel turbine) turbo, which your car will have, it is impo...

Nice work!

That is rubbish. In any turbo diesel car; Glowplug lamp off, start it and drive off. When switching off, let it idle for 30 seconds before switching off so as to allow the turbo to spin down. There is no minimum run time for an engine. The only complication would with cars fitted with a diesel parti...

No idea how much.

There is a very good bloke on here called Chris who is known as Adamss24 who is also part of the site admin. He could do it for far less than a dealer.

A complete waste of money.

Spend it instead if your car is pre 2003 on an EGR delete pipe.

Just looking at eurocarparts website and there doesn't seem to be that much in it between a SM conversion kit and a DM kit cost wise.

Is it worth doing this nowadays with so little cost saving? Note I've only looked at ECP.

Already answered a similar one this evening, look here;

The chap you need to speak to is Adamss24

Prices in the other thread are parts only and top whack.

The interval is both worked out on time and distance. When they (the cars) were new it was 60k miles or 4 years. Some had 80k but I think still 4 years. Either way, I'd change it and also factor in a waterpump thermostat and coolant temp sensor change at the same time. Also be prepared to have the r...

And cut the valves out and make sure you clean out and get paint in the valve recesses

There is nothing worse!

Paracetamol and Ibuprofen at the same time should numb it.

Will post up more soon, rain stopped play today. Just read that thread that is some amount of work, fair play to you having a go, they look good. If I get anywhere near that finish I will be happy. Didn't know T cut did an alloy polish, interesting! It isn't. It is bog standard metallic T cut. Used...

You can get a fantastic finish if you put the work in and save the cash.

7mm allen for the fronts.

Windback tool for the rears.

Also, get a Haynes as a minimum so you at least understand what to do on the most safety critical thing on your car.

More Audi-ness and same as Andymac above, but I think these take some beating for 16"s. Cheap as chips as well; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/audi-a6-4x-original-alloy-wheels-205-55-16-/140962242522?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item20d2011fda That above is a buy it no...

I fitted a wiiter to my Highline estate and it DID interfere with the sensors. Saying that I think the bars are generic between the saloons and estates. As the saloon is actually longer than the estate I think the bar stuck out more than it should. You could risk it and buy a proper estate flanged b...

Really interested in one of these.

Fluke, that twin cam one is £71 from a UK seller on e-bay, bit pricy and wouldn't want the risk of ordering one from hong kong etc.

Anyone who has a 20 quidder, could you link to it ?

That wasn't worth posting...

What was it ? What did they say ?

Hate to say it but I think you are going to have to change the CAT.

A few other things;

How many miles has it done, big miles would indicate a worn out CAT.

How does it idle, is the throttle body clean / aligned, if not could give a wonky idle mixture.
