    Done a bit of work on the car this week to tidy up some outstanding problems. I hit some issues today 10 miles down the motorway - bit of lumpy, judder when I come off the gas - a blow of smoke from the exhaust. Lack of power / limp mode shortly after. Changes this week. - new glow plugs on...
  2. Altea wet footwell

    So it turns out my driver and rear footwell are absolutely soaked. This seems to be pretty recent, and potentially since I recently started running the air con to pull the condensation out of the car quicker after all the rain we’ve had and transferred in to the car via wet coats etc..... Im...
  3. Altea turbo problems

    Hi all, We have a problem with our 2006 1.9tdi at the minute. It feels like the turbo isn’t kicking in usual 2k revs. If we carry on booting it up to around 4K revs, it often bails in to limp mode. I’ve run a scan on it today and pulled up the following codes. EGR system - P0401 - insufficient...

  5. Fuse problem

    Ok So it turns out that the stereo was blowing the fuse and only at the point that the face plate was attached. A bit of head scratching and there was a 20p inside the unit that was shorting it out :blink: Unbelievable Jeff, but all working now all the same

  7. Fuse problem

    Hi all, I'm having a problem with our arosa at the moment. The stereo stopped working as did the auto unlock, ran a VAG scan to find code 00849 - s contact. I found that the S contact fuse had blown. The problem I'm having now is every time I replace with a 5a (as per manual) it blows...

  9. EGR problem

    Guys, Does this look like anything sinister at all? The car runs fine apart from a pretty low avg mpg of 38 at present on my 1.9TDI Could this have something to do with it maybe?

    Hi All Ive just had the light on for a bulb out. It turns out its the driver rear light/brake light thats out again, which i only replaced less than a year ago. Are these bulbs notorious for not lasting too long, or may I have another problem here?

  16. Turbo whistle

    I think most turbos make some kind of a whistle, if its pretty loud though then the first port of call is usually to check all boost hoses for leaks or splits to see if thats the cause

    I have something similar, albeit on my air con (i dont have climate control). Id describe mine as more of a intermittant switching sound? I presumed it was somehow linked to the temperature control?
  20. Poor economy

    Hi Andy That doesnt sound far off the mark to be honest, its used every day during the week to get to work, which can be as little as 2.5 miles each way if its to my work! I often wonder if the engine has even warmed up in that time Its basically used for regular, short journeys which in...
