Re: Oil consumption!?! Advice needed
Just had a look and the oil level is right at the upper limit on the dipstick! The egr is slightly wet but the hose on top of egr had a bit of wear from the engine cover so cut that bit off and put it back in. Surely the oil level not actually being low would point to a oil level sensor? I have got ...

Wing mirror indicator bulbs
Hi all
Just a really quick and simple one.my wing mirror indicator has stopped working how do the bulbs come out? Also the headlight indicator and rear light work fine but I always found if a bulb goes the remaining lights flash faster? These work normal

Rough sounding engine
As title, my 2005 tdi 1.9 100bhp highline rocket ship has started to sound really rough so just been investigating and noticed it is in desperate need of a aux belt as its starting to split between the grooves!! So I will get one of those. The noise sounds like it's coming from the belt area and I n...

Rear passenger side door random opening
Hi all, I have a recently purchased highline wagon 100bhp model and the passenger side rear door only sometimes unlocks. Press the remote to unlock and sometimes the knob pops up sometimes and more often than not doesn't. Is this likely to be the lock as I do know these are a problem? Or another par...

Floor mats
Evening all, I need some new mats and normally I like to try and stay genuine but I can imagine they are pretty expensive. Can anybody recommend anywhere to get some fitted ones? Or know roughly how much genuine ones are?
Thanks guys

Re: Car won't start help
Mine is due a service anyway so I will have a look and check the filter but I only use good quality service parts. Maybe being fairly low on diesel didn't help still had a few gallon in and no light on. Thanks again

The mrs has just tried to start it while I'm at work and it came up with a STOP warning and oil pressure low and oil light was on. I did check the levels myself this morn and they were ok.
