Re: battery drain ???

I'm not likely to change it as it is up for sale. Spent loads on it already and my lads not interested in it anymore. It has been sat outside for nearly a year now just being turned over and having parts replaced to make it look good for him but to no avail. Even had an MOT last week which it failed...

Re: battery drain ???

Update..................... since the last charge 3 days ago battery seems to be ok. Don't ask me why! Now all I have to do is sort out why the central locking has stopped working. I have checked fuse 41 and that is ok, looked at wiring inside wiring harness between pillar and door.......all ok. Too...

Now need to find out what apart from the cold weather is stealing my volts. On a bright note. Had an anti roll bar drop link to replace this m...

battery drain ???

Bloody typical!! Got the car ready for selling, charged the brand new battery to full charge before sending to MOT station 3 days ago. Came back with a couple of minor issues but still got a pass (on the understanding that the jobs get done). This morning 3 days after battery was fully charged I wen...

MOT pass

Hi all, sorry for not being on for a while but didn't really need any help. The Polo I bought for my lad has been sat around for the last 9 months collecting dust as he didn't want it, so now it belongs to me. Just had an MOT done on it and although there were a couple of issues the inspector still ...

Re: fault code P0141

That's bank1 sensor 1. Wiring for sensor 2 is underneath. Follow the sensor wiring from after the cat Cheers Alex. As they are both together thought I might as well check them both out. Disconnected both plugs, blew out any dust with compressor, sprayed inside both plugs and sockets with WD 40 and ...

Great thanks. I'll have to wait till we get a decent dry day before crawling about on the floor. I'll get back to you with the result.

Cheers again. :D
