Fitting heated door mirrors to a car with non heated ones - what do I need ?
The wires are there behind the glass & the switch turns to the heated position, is it just a case of buying the heated glass then plug & play?
Anyone got any pointers on where to look for a leak thats leaving my 2017 5F 5 door hatch back (no sunroof) with a wet spare wheel well after a short drive in the wet?
Driving 12miles home on Saturday in heavy rain & traffic, popped into a shop for 10 minutes & when I restart the car I get Flashing glow plug symbol, limp mode & auto stop/start fault? I stopped & restarted the engine a few times but still the same.
Next day I switched auto stop/start off before...
Sorry should have said - 53 plate Ibiza 130 PD with hybrid & larger intercooler so some non standard pipework, the clue was a slight bit of oil around the drivers side fog light!
Problem found!
Been chasing a suspected boost leak for weeks now & finally traced it today to the pipe that runs under the drivers side headlight to the intercooler, it had a horizontal split in it about 50mm long - anyone had this before?
I had a similar problem, got a lot worse after the car had been bogged down in slow moving traffic.
Fault code P1556 charge pressure negative deviation was logged by VAGCOM - I checked for boost leaks but found nothing then added some fuel additive & gave it a good thrash - problem went away...
Right got the spec back from them & it looks like good stuff

My Mk4 130sport has had the 312mm brake conversion, which pads do I ask for? as these brakes not are standard fitment on this car or are they all the same just with bigger discs.:confused:
Anyone know the spec
On 'Watson petroleum LSV 5W30' I think its a rebadged Texaco product but unsure if its OK for my PD motor & want to see the spec before I commit.
So today I ring a Texaco distributor & ask for VW506.01 spec oil - they ring me back & say that they don't do that spec but 504.00 & 507.00 is fine for a 130PD is this correct?
Right, apart from the EGR codes (that are logged because I don't have an EGR) I'm getting 17964 charge pressure control Negative deviation P1556-35-10 intermitant.
Does the negative mean 'below zero' (as in knackered sensor) or below what it expected to see? (as in sticky VNT not giving enough...
Driving along at constant throttle & the boost just drops off with a slight increase in exhaust note, switch ignition off & on makes it go back to normal - is this stcky VNT control vanes issue?

The ECU knows what the airflow meter is reading at a given time, when it opens the EGR, the flow through the airflow meter reduces by the amount that is recircluating through the EGR & if the ECU doesn't see this reduction (because the EGR is blocked off) it can bring on the CEL - you can reduce...
