    Location of BCM or Body Control Module

    Bit old to be of use now but may be use full for someone else. The module for the control of the cars lights etc is located behind the fuse panel under the steering wheel. Drop the fuse panel down and it only takes ten minutes or so to take it out. The plugs are all on unique locators and are...

    MFD2 update

    If the bluetooth is working, when you first turn the car on search for it on your phone. As above the code is preset at 1234 to pair. It only stays discoverable to new devices for a couple of minutes after powering up each time.

    Squeaky Windows !!

    Trust me don't bother with the £12 kit just write ot off to experience or sell it on. It is a pain in the backside to fit and will only break in a few months time, which means you will be pulling the whole door apart again. The only real fix is a new genuine regulator which isnt that expensive...

    Steaming up!

    I thought of doing that but it doesnt stop the fact there must be damp somewhere. I tried on recirc the other day to see if that would dry out the air inside but it made it ten times worse. Guess I will have to start looking for a leak somewhere.

    Squeaky Windows !!

    I wouldn't bother with the ebay kit again. Mine lasted a year before that snapped. The regulator from seat comes all built up and is really easy to fit, whereas replacing the cables is a bit of a fiddle and requires two people. The kit I had from ebay was really tight which is why it snapped...

    Squeaky Windows !!

    The door comes apart quite easily once you know how. A good tip is to remove the speaker early on as that gives you a lot of access to line up the regulator there rather than struggling to move it from the top. Also if you cut off the tie wraps holding the wiring loom it frees the panel up to...

    Squeaky Windows !!

    I replaced the passenger side window cables on my wife's car exactly a year ago with a cable kit from eBay. Three weeks ago one of the cables snapped again so rather than buy the eBay kit I bought a whole brand new regulator from Seat. The whole lot was only £90 and came pre built with new...

    Airbag Light Permantly On

    You need an auto electrician to look at your car if your having these issues. The airbag light should be the last of your worries ATM. Fuses are rated for a reason and the wiring running to those fuses is sized accordingly, by fitting double the rating fuse you are coming to what is likely the...

    Traction control light on

    You can buy a repair kit now cetainly from VW not sure about Seat. Its the same unit though so the repair kit is good for the seat. Costs about £180 inc vat. You just remove the pump, unscrew the two halfs of the pump, fit the new valve block from the repair kit and refit it and bleed the...

    My wifes Golf was the 105bhp model with "T" rated tyres. Your right about the 2.0FSi that is fitted with V rated tyres.
