  1. engine management light

    Just noticed yr rant about EGR...sadly its only on there for the EU greenies, it is tested once at the factory and is never required or tested again. If we were not members of the EU then this car would not have or need an EGR...Governments should keep out of car design and leave it to...
  2. engine management light

    See my other post on Dashboard removal. Are you sure these lights you are looking for should come on???? you are comparing with a Saxo, you really need to compare with another TDI 110S on this site. Ask someone to look at their Dash lights/positions. I think I would have noticed if any lights...
  3. speedo removal

    I still think you are trying to find faults that are not there. Are all these lights supposed to light up??? on a T reg car. Always better to ask someone who actually has a T reg Tolly TDI S (same model) that hasn,t been messed with to run a comparison with theirs. I would have noticed if...
  4. speedo removal

    You might find that the screw heads are all clean??? I,ve owned that car for many years and the dash has never been off. Only been into the fuse box once, just to check where it was.
  5. engine management light

  6. Soggy toledo!!!

    TRy the SEAL Cut first I recommend cutting the rubber aperture seal first and see if this method dries out the carpets....if so don,t disturb the door card seals unless you have to. I have heard more stories of the cuts working than of replacing (time consuming and expensive) door card...
  7. Soggy toledo!!!

    Glad everybody have given you the cutting the slots in the seal info...(saves me doing it) But I will say, they are expensive looking seals....but its got to be done, sharper the craft knife the better, go right through, about a quarter inch wide, one at the front, one at the back and you,ll...
  8. water in my v5 again........errrrrr

    Oily, I,ll be frank, I think replacing the door card seals is an extreme measure, that will only be successful if your doors are filling up with water. You need to cut 2 cuts about 1-2 mm wide in your main door aperture seals at the bottom. Imagine you have shrunk to the size of a . where is...
  9. Water leak and locking problems

    Just an additional.....feel up under the door lower edge, you will find a rubber seal....in between its lips are( more slime than a hippocrocoslags fanny, so have a cleaning rag with you) the drain holes for the door interior.....make sure these are clear and also cut slots here as well just to...
  10. carpets are soaken in my toledo

    Re-locking Thanks...I,ll check the courtesy lights, Its the wifes car now, so I only reverse it into the garage every night when she comes home. She wouldn,t notice if the courtesy lights didn,t work, but I should, having said that I always have the lights on in the garage so maybe I just...
  11. carpets are soaken in my toledo

    Door Rubbers Just reading all these threads on water ingress again, I seem to remember that when the carpet was wet, my central locking played up a bit....doors locked but indicators didn,t flash.....soon as it dried out all went back to normal. By the way does anybody else reading this...
  12. carpets are soaken in my toledo

    Sorry Weejase my wife is the comp. expert and she,ss at work...but I,ll try to explain, I think some people just cut slots in the big fat door rubbers (I know it seems like you are damaging the car to fix it) Just cut the slots where the water builds up on top of the rubber at the bottom (you...
  13. carpets are soaken in my toledo

    I tried the door card sealing...didn,t work.....so I cut small slots in the door rubbers front and rear of door aperture, that worked...the Tolly,s been dry for the last 2 yrs now.
  14. Leak

    I tried the resealing the door card...did,nt work....see other threads about the problem then cut slots in the seal at front and real of door bottom...I did both top and bottom seals.....my Tolly has been dry ever since - 2 years now (and mine was driver side rear.)
  15. Still Leaking

    Slots in seals I put slots in both just to be sure and it cured my problem, my Tolly always shipped water in the drivers rear, but after the slots were cut, it dried out and has been dry ever since. I went the resealing the metal door card route and was as careful as anyone could be, but that...
  16. Water leak and locking problems

    Rain Slots Cut 5mm wide slots in the rubber seal at the lower front and rear of each door aperture. Rain water collects on top of the seal and runs into the car. If you cut the slots the water can run away to outside. I did this 2 years ago and car has been dry since then. It is not the...
  17. water in my v5 again........errrrrr

    Slots in seals I cut the slots in my seals just over 2 years ago after the drivers side rear footwell got wet, I also cleaned out the rubber seals under the doors and checked the drainholes, they were clear. But its the slots what did it for my Tolly. (note it wasn,t parked on a slope, just a...
  18. biodiesel

    I have not personally suffered the coked up injectors problem, I recently had my injector spray patterns checked and all was pronounced well by a specialist, they were a bit sooty and the specialist looked a bit surprised when I told him that they had gone 2 yrs on Sainsburys cooking...
  19. Price of diesel

    Hmm... Tornado Red...I know I am being unfair, because in the first instance as I said, I am not taking such a great risk (TDI engines are reasonably plentiful here and not that expensive) I personally think that 2 yrs running everyday, short and long journeys and at times pushing the engine to...
  20. biodiesel

    My God...I must check my tank...after 2 yrs on straight off the shelf cooking oil. I must have loads of this sludge in there??? ready to be sucked up and (if I,m lucky stop my engine) or badly damage it??? If I can be bothered to have a look see how easy it is to look down into the tank, I will...
