Hi aymen Thanks for posting a reply. The connector on the left is the one that fits in my engine and after testing my injector with a multimeter I didn't have to cut any wires in the end because the reading was good. I ended up cleaning the injector and nozzle as much as I could and...

Hi Guys Had some aggressive juddering in my car the other day and the glow plug light started flashing so I scanned for a code. I got a code pointing to the needle lift sensor. I checked the wiring and that seemed in good order so I contacted www.uniteddiesel.co.uk gave them all the info and...

I'll do that in the morning, although I kind of hope it's the water pump because then I'd know what's up and I'd get it replaced for free because of the warranty. Lee

The stat is fitted with the hoop bit facing out, the same as the one I took out. To be honest I don't know if the coolant is still returning to the tank tonight because when I'd got home it was empty. Lee

Got my water pump from TPS, so it's a VAG one with a two year warranty on it. Forgot to mention that I have a code reader and I scanned it tonight and didn't get a single fault code. Also, everything seems hunky dory on tickover, it just goes pear shaped once it's moving and after...

Seatmann When it's parked the coolant leaks on the drivers side onto the floor, I'm sure some of it vents from the lid of the expansion tank. As far as the head is concerned, I'd expect the garage that did it to have done a decent job but after the crap I put right afterwards I'm beginning...

Hi Guys I think my waterpump is fecked even though it was only fitted in May at the same time as a new head gasket. I am getting serious overheating issues with coolant loss and bubbling in the expansion tank. I fitted a new thermostat and temp sender earlier this evening thinking that would...

I followed MJ's :worship: advice and did all four of mine. I didn't check beforehand to see if any were 'stuck', I just got everything ready before I went to work and did it straight away when I got home. I'd never done it before so I just cracked them all loose first because I didn't want the...

Have a look for your local TPS here http://www.thetradepartsspecialists.co.uk/ they'll be able to sort you out with all the OEM stuff you need, often at a cheaper price than the local dealership, or you could contact Dave at Sere Motors who is one of the site sponsors and very good value for...

I used to use millers and Sainsburys diesel but don't use either now, Shell V-Power every time regardless of extra cost. I filled up today and it was 149.9 a litre, I don't even look to see what the other fuel costs because I already know I'm paying more, but I get more miles to the gallon so...

I see where you're coming from Diggerman but should we think that we represent the masses or are we the minority of owners that use forums? Lee

Had mine about a year and a half now. Starts first time, every time. A little bit smoky starting in the cold but hey, I can live with that. The downside is that a few months after having it I had limp mode so I got rid of the EGR, the turbo and inlet manifold were cleaned. Then MAF went t!ts up...

Thanks for the replies, I'll head over to the VAG.COM section now;)

Hi Guys I want to get some LED 501's and to use my sidelights as Daytime Running Lights, has anyone else done this and if so can you tell me how you wired them up to run independently from the rear lamps? Many thanks Lee

Don't buy your turbo cleaning kit off ebay for £50:-o Go direct to Innotec, I paid about £36 for mine delivered last year ;) All the best Lee

I changed my own glow plugs before Christmas after following advice on this forum and had no problems at all. Make sure the recess that the plugs sit in are clean, you don't want any crap falling in the hole left by the removed plug or getting trapped in the thread of the new one. Get the...

BUGGER! The two wires are the same colour :cry: :wtf: why do they do that????? I need a drink

Brilliant:funk: Thank you MJ Pencil in another job for the weekend All the best Lee

Hi guys After much head scratching and no definite answers I wondered if a connection rated at 50 amps will be enough to join the wires leading to my glowplug harness? Thanks in advance, Lee

Hi Neil Thanks for adding the pictures, mine is an '03 and a two wire but I can tell from the picture that your harness won't fit my engine. Here's a couple of pics of the new one that has short wires with terminals on. I did ask Dave to supply me with the terminals so I could cut...
