Re: Kia Sedona ????
Yeh be careful mate if you do buy one. They are quick being 2.9's - juicy round town not too bad on a run 40ish on a run. Build quality not great - interior plastics etc. The 2.8 chrysler voyagers are good - I've had a few of them too - much more reliable and (i think) are chain driven... Sent from ...

Re: Finally found a car I like................
Sell it privately, if you can stretch to buy the Lexus and bide your time selling the Passat....I too have been thinking of buying a Lexus RX350 LPG or S600 Merc S Class as with the price of LPG that S Class would be like returning 30ish mpg

To second that, check - paid £40 for a boost sensor once, rather complacent of me got home, opened the box to find a dirty sensor and opened bag... ...someone had swapped out their old sensor, put it back in the box, obviously taken it back for a refund, been given it and the guy behind the counter...

Re: Bizarre....
Thanks chaps - will check the thermostat - it was bought from carparts4less for about £5 i think.... I'll buy a genuine one and see how I get on.... So are we in agreement that because the thermostat may be jammed open the coolant is not heating up and so the coolant temp sensor is giving a false r...

Re: ABS Light plus ESP Light
1) check lights
2) check sensors
3) check wiring (if possible)
4) quite possibly the ABS module is at fault - common on A6's, A4's and B5's (that late 90's era) but not seen a b5.5 go wrong...

Bizarre....
Drove my AWX Audi A6 to Spain a couple of months ago and had the coolant temp sensor changed a long with belt, water pump and a load of other stuff before I went. Made the mistake of buying a cheap chinky £4.99 temp sensor which died within 700 miles of my 1400 mile journey but was working for thos...

Thanks chaps for the responses - where on earth do you get these housings? Just looking into how easy to replace as I'm doing 700/900 miles a week and cannot afford to be broken down halfway up the country. Some say coolant flanges they are called but that search turns up nothing. The housing on min...

I think I have broken the two metal bits that the circlip goes through as I stupidly tried pulling the sensor out without removing the plastic circlip. Didn't even realise there was a circlip.
