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

This is interesting, I read this thread last night and checked my car going to work this morning, when I am driving at 70mph my rev counter needle is just past 3,000rpm I took it to 80 and its just under 4,000rpm. I thought mine was low geared (mind you I have been driving diesels for the last ten ...

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,

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...

Its here and the link is at the end of the thread, I am not sure now which one they call ours on the web site (MK 3 or Mk 5) and its a bit of a pain to navigate with lots of empty pages, just keep clicking next page and it will get to it. http://www.uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59401 this is...

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...

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 ...

I had a similar problem it was the G65 pressure sensor that was furbarred but my compressor was not running is yours deffo running have a look at the pully when its switched on and make sure the inner bit is spinning (I hope that does not make me look like I am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs) ...

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...

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 ...

cheers for that, it will give me something to look at when the weather gets better

Its actually Hailstones now..........this weather is well and truly nuts

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...
