The trim is ok to get out, a bit stiff and pull up as you remove it. It's held on with 3 clips and then held at the top by a strap so it won't come off the car in the event an airbag goes I assume.

Thanks Gaz!

What do you use to measure it out?

Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk

I forget, how much do you put in to a tank, do you need to mix it at all?

I've done folding mirrors on my 2017 Seat Alhambra using OBDeleven I'm sure you could do the dogs as well but mine are already activated. The dealer said folding mirrors were not possible shows what they know!

Do you think the window and clutch are related, did something get knocked in the swap out?

I can't help with the engine mounts I'm afraid.

When you say flange, if you mean the housing the reason I suggest it is you will end up breaking the pins that hold the thermostat as soon as you pull it out, trust me I've done a couple and they always snap!

Ok well given the time of year I will back out as I'm not going to have time to pick them up!

Bob good luck fella you are doing a great service by giving these away.

Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk

Ok well if they are not gone by next weekend I'll be in touch, although Xmas weekend so not sure if everyone will be busy!

Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk

Bob that is an awesome offer! I would love these but I'm not exactly close

I assume it's just the fronts?

If I wasn't busy today I would be up like a shot I have been wanting heated seats for ages!

Get a thermostat housing as well as a thermostat and don't get a cheap one as they are a false economy!

This will be your problem, it's quite common on these engines.

Is it down to the fact that my car doesn't throw up an egr fault if it's disconnected, making the ECU not Euro 4?

Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk

Well my 2004 car which was built 2002 is not exempt, I will not be heading in to London in my workhorse! I will be keeping her though, 600miles on a tank of diesel

Yeah I think it was that way round! I ended up with 2 if them thinking the V6 diesel would be the upgrade but it wasn't!

Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk

Just about to change the snub mount in my avf. If I remember correctly the v6 was the recommended one, but the one I took from my recently broken 2.5 tdi v6 was that spongy stuff not the solid rubber. Is the 2.8 v6 different? Yes they are different, the diesel one is sponge and the petrol is rubber...

I don't think it's the washer however I won't rule it out just yet! I might check the plenum at the weekend

Hmmmm so my nose in the water it doesn't smell the same as when opening the car, and water levels are the same as when I changed the cambelt so I don't appear to be losing water, so I can hope it's not the matrix..... No steamy windows yet I'll stick the heat on tonight on the way home and see what ...

Hi guys, I haven't been on in a while mainly because my Mrs has been driving the car. I have the car back now and yesterday and I noticed that there was a smell inside, it smells like meths? Is there a way to check for leaks to rule out the matrix, if it is the matrix what are my options as I know i...

I have. Brand new nissens sat in the shed, I got it for when I did my cambelt but the old radiator was still perfect, if your interested let me know I paid £60 for it would do it for £50 posted.

I'll put this out there, I am always looking ahead I used to drive a van as a profession and did an advanced driving course. Looking ahead and behind, be aware of traffic and gaps in the road, you can easily keep cruise control at 70mph on s motorway without having to constantly adjust it is all abo...

As above I use it all the time, it is great doing 30mph 50mph 60mph it's great!

Hi Paul, I agree you should be doing a scan, there is a VCDS alternative, look at something called OBDeleven it's similar to VCDS but uses a mobile phone or tablet and Bluetooth, the only downside is that it is only for android. You can still use live data and measuring blocks to see what's going on...

No, but it's probably better if you can/do.

Sorry but I would never put kids or anyone in the back of a 7 seater. Get hit from behind and they are squashed. I would sooner buy a van!

Mine is a 2.0 TDI 184bhp version coupled with the DSG gearbox, it's a heavy lump and I average around 47mpg mixed driving.

My wife and I just got a brand new SEAT Alhambra this was through motability so we don't pay, however it is a decent car and much bigger than the touran and Zafira. The Alhambra is basically the same car as the VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy up to a couple of years ago, then Ford went their own way. They...
