Re: URGENT: How can I prime my TDI after a fuel issue?

Re: Key/locking question again

If it is doing something ie the light coming on then the module sounds ok.
Guess here but check all plug connectors for corrosion that is all i can think of.
Somebody else might have the answer but been away from the forum over the crimbo time.

This it to around 25/30ltr of diesel but i don't do it every fill anymore.

Re: Fobs not unlocking doors intermittently

Are you saying the "tin whiskers" is caused by lead free solder or the other way round.
