Re: 01276 - ABS Hydraulic Pump (V64): Signal Outside Speci

Well I did mine today in my Dinner hour and it is a pretty easy job to do in fact the hardest thing for me was getting hold of a E5 torx bit. The casing was a faff as it took time but the seam is pretty to follow with a hack saw. I drove home tonight and its been the first time in ages that the ligh...

Mines been doing this for a while now, I didnt realise you could still drive the car with the module removed so I have been putting it off until I have a few days free, might just get me arse into gear now and pull it off and have a go at sorting it out

Re: GTI 5th Gear Ratio

I thought mine was low geared (mind you I have been driving diesels for the last ten ...

Re: Where is the A/C pressure switch?

Hi

Its on the drivers side just below and behind the head lamp where the air con pipe drops down, if you take off the fog light grill and remove the fog light you can look up and see it attached to the pipe on a tee,

Re: Sorry! Aerial / antenna search...advice appreciated!

I had a similar problem with mine, it had a sony head unit in it when I bought it but the radio reception was pretty poor. I fitted an inline booster from halfords and its been fantastic ever since, they only cost about a tenner but you might find them cheaper on ebay (I wanted mine done there and t...

Re: Aircon Issue

Its the same thing, Mine did the same. when I scanned HVAC for faults it came up with that fault code but when I scanned the engine for faults it came up with the other one (about the G65 sender) I looked into it and found that the G65 does both jobs it detects high and low pressure in the system, i...

Re: possible exhaust /inlet valve

I thought when you did a compression test it was not supposed to vary much (I think its 15% off the top of my head) Between the highest and lowest number. looking at those numbers It looks like there is a problem between cylinders 1 and 2 or certainly on 1, These are pretty high compression engines ...

Re: What's everyones MPG these days?

I get between 37 and 42mpg depending how I drive on a long commute on mainly A roads. I am pretty happy with that. I have not noticed a difference between using normal unleaded and super unleaded on fuel economy but it does feel a bit crisper and more responsive using super unleaded, not sure if tha...

Re: Hello and help me

Ok, an update and a slap in the face for me time I had a look at a workshop manual on the internet to see what everything does and how it works and then went and did what I should have done after I changed the sensor, I re checked the pressure in the system, It had lost around 10psi and took itself ...

Re: Hello and help me

Thanks for the prompt reply Its connected (the little wire coming off the compressor) I will need to check if I am getting 12volts to it though but it is lashing it down at the moment and I aint going out in that. Is the cooling fan supposed to run at low speed when I turn on the Air con? (It does i...
