Re: Hiccup sort of

Throttle body carb'd up? I am pretty sure that would flag up a fault code of some sort. I did mine, pretty easy to do and won't do, but had to reset it using VAG COM afterwards. Mine currently has a lumpy tickover, and am chasing my tail on that too, so any suggestions might help me too :D How's th...

Re: Bargain ....NOT

Open a dispute in paypal.(not as descirbed)
Send them back but make sure you have tracking and proof of delivery.
Then when they are deliverd back raise the dispute to a claim in paypal.
If they don't give you a full refund paypal will after 10 day's.
Hope this help's.

Re: Have i bought the right thing?

Yes that is the one.
The software will be the shareware version witch is limited and will read the fault code but not clear them (i think that is the way it work's).

Is it possible for water to run down the heater vent into the rear footwell.(driver side)
If it is where is it comming from.
I have had this problem some time now and have tried the water on the glass test and it's not comming in through the door.

Re: temp guage

Not had this problem with my passat but i did have it on my xedos 9.
It was air in the system and it took me ages to get it out.
In the end i left the car running with the rad cap off and every now and again it would bubble and blow some air/water out took some time but it sorted it out.
