  1. No heating inside cab, blowers working, engine up to temp.

    So checked when I got to work. Pipes going into the bulkhead are warm. Presuming this means it’s something in the cab? The odd thing was last night I popped out and after about 20 mins driving, I could feel a bit of warm air coming through the vents. Only for a few mins and then seemed cold again.
  2. No heating inside cab, blowers working, engine up to temp.

    Thanks for the reply. Just had a quick look this morning as it was dark last night. Coolant looks quite low. No obvious sign of a leak. Had read that levels can have some variance in the colder weather, is that right? Will check hoses once I’ve got to work and the engines warm.
  3. No heating inside cab, blowers working, engine up to temp.

    Looking for some advice as my searching is failing me. I've a 2003 130 TDi, generally has always been fine, however my heating through the vents/blowers has stopped. Engine is getting up to temperature, sits at 90. All the blowers/aircon function, there's just no heat in the cab at all. Had...
  4. Diesel leak engine, anyone know what pipe this is?

    Yup, fuel line to tandem pump appears right. Also can't buy that bit of hose from the dealer as its part of a set. Going to have to head to a breakers.
  5. Diesel leak engine, anyone know what pipe this is?

    Any have an idea what pipe this is? It's split and is spraying out diesel. Seems a straightforward swap, tested the clips and think it will come out easy enough. Just need to know what to ask the dealers for! Thanks
  6. Front wipers just stopped working...

    My front wipers have just stopped. The rear works fine. The washer jets work fine (front and rear). But the wipers themselves have just stopped dead. I'm assuming it's the motor? Anything else it could be?
  7. Nothing in 1st and 2nd gear...

    I considered doing this myself, but just haven't got the time. Dropped off to the garage Monday afternoon, they called this afternoon. All done. Was the selector fork. £380 all in. Happy enough. :thumbup:
  8. Nothing in 1st and 2nd gear...

    Thanks Chris. Yes, I've done a fair bit of reading and research and does seem to point towards the selector fork coming off. Spoke with my local garage and they said that's likely to bit it. They actually have a TT in for the exact same thing. Just under a days labour to do. Parts minimal as...
  9. Nothing in 1st and 2nd gear...

    Hi, 1.9tdi, 2003 Leon. Last time i drove it, putting it in reverse seemed quite difficult. Gone out to it today and put it in 1st and nothing. It’s obviously not engaging. Same with second. Third engaged and I could get it moving. What’s most likely the cause? I’m assuming the gearbox is...
  10. Intercooler base and connecting pipe, dealers only?

    Hi all, Have a 1.9TDI 130. Wife was driving yesterday and said it started to make a whistling/wooshing noise. Got it up this morning and the connecting pipe that goes to the intercooler housing had popped out. Check the pipe over and one of the lugs has cracked/worn away. Also the grey...
  11. Coolant issues???

    I'm not sure. It's hard to tell at the moment whether or not theres a leak underneath due to the wet weather. Gonna get it in the axel stands tomorrow and have a look, see if anything is obvious.
  12. Coolant issues???

    I have (pretty much) the same issue at the moment. Any one have ideas on where to start?
  13. Central Locking and starting problem..

    Thank you for the replies. Sorry it's taken a while to get back, for some reason I've not been getting reply notifications(!) I"ll check the earth on the battery tomorrow. Too dark now and it's only 1530! :(
  14. Central Locking and starting problem..

    Hi all, I have a few issue starting with my 53 1.9TDi (130) Leon. Firstly, when using the remote key fob, it will only unlock the drivers door. I then have to use the unlock button on the door panel to open the rest. Sometimes it will open them all, but rarely. Occasionally, after I've...
  15. Turbo getting louder, and not smooth through acceleration...

    OK, so it went into the garage. Two boost pipes split, one on top of intercooler, and flexi one on top (rear). Also, split/cracked intercooler :( They fitted a Valeo one from Eurocarparts for £250 as the dealers original was £350. All in £450 for intercooler, pipes, and labour. Got it back...
  16. Turbo getting louder, and not smooth through acceleration...

    OK, Ive checked all the boost pipes. Nothing noticeable. I also removed the intercooler and cleaned thoroughly (it was caked it crud!) PTFE taped the seals when replacing the pipes. All back together... and noise still noticeable. It's booked into the local garage (vw specialist) tomorrow...
  17. Turbo getting louder, and not smooth through acceleration...

    Well this evening I went out and had a look around. It did look as though the pipe that connects to the inter cooler had come apart. I pulled the clips out, cleaned it up a but and reseated them back in. Haven't had a chance to test it properly yet, but sounded a bit better round the block...
  18. Turbo getting louder, and not smooth through acceleration...

    Hi all, I have a 1.9TDI (130) with 157k on the clock. Been solid until very recently. I do not normally drive the car (wifes) but did last week, and noticed that the noise from the turbo seems louder than before. At around 1800-2k revs you get the normal "woosh" or whistle, but this...
  19. Lost my rear boot spoiler (above rear window)

    Driving down the m27 the other day and I heard a funny whoosh, looked in my rear view mirror to see my rear brake light spoiler flying off! Luckily no-one was behind me. Stopped up and I'm left with several white clips, and the comnector to the rear brake light. Question is... Are...
