Thanks Gazwould

Hi all,sadly this may be my last post but not necessarily as I am changing to a Seat 1.9 tdi.The question is can I transfer my larger 80amp battery over to the Seat which is only 70 amp without causing any alternator issues,it will physically fit.It seems there are 2 different types fitted in the Pa...

Ok will have a bit of a more in depth look when I get a mo

Yeah,there's some yellow(20 i think) that are behind dash and on/next to the relay board. You should find your culprit there. Couple of torx headed bolts to drop the lower section of dash T25 i think?,job done. Craig Thanks for thart, I had a look and found 2 more juicy fuses there but both checked...

This is driving me nuts.My 5 year old granddaughter I think has managed to somehow blow the fuse, I have checked all the fuses in the compartment on the right hand side of the steering wheel. Can anyone tell me if it's somewhere else,thanks

OK thanks,,just had another quote for a mobile guy £190
I thought maybe 50 or so but wow!

Have just had a quote for mapping the warning light out £150, does this sound about right ?

Ok thanks,didn't realise anyone know one near me?

Is there anyone willing to delete our my EGR warning with their VAG COM,just can't get mine to work and it's driving me nuts.Am willing to pay for the service and bring car to you.Thanks in anticipation. ps it's the 2003 model.

Hmm,just seemed a bit of a coincidence and now just realised my Nokia bluetooth which is tied to the radio isn't working either

The reason for this is that since I had my brake. servo replaced the reception has been poo so thought aerial connection may have been dislodged in the process by the garage

Ok thanks will have another go over the weekend

It's a single unit with the cd player underneath, it feels like there's wires connected when I pull it rather than it slotting into some sort fixed multi socket

Hi guys,how do you get the original VW radio out,I've got the Key things but it only comes out a couple of centimetres,it feels there's wiring holding it in and I don't want to tug too hard,thanks

Thanks for the replies

Ok thanks,but is this an mot fail just need to know whether it needs sorting before mot /

Can anyone help please, My ESP light has started to come on.The mot is due shortly, can anyone advise me if this is a fail or not? Thanks

Ok thanks for the advice guys I have a bad back at the mo so can't check the suggestions. I will have a proper look when I can it's just a bit annoying, thanks again, appreciated

Plenty of pad left only done about 1.5 k since fit,i suspect wiring problem as intermittent could i fix this myself if so ? not as agile as i used to be.

Hi all ,i had my pads and discs replaced a couple of months ago.I am now getting the brake pad warning light flashing up most of the time.Is this an MOT failure ? as if so i need to get it sorted before due.Thanks peeps
