  1. 2004 ALTEA - broken tailgate release ?

    Followed these instructions and now the boot lid opens better than it ever has done in our ownership. Many thanks.
  2. Altea 1.9tdi knock from NSF suspension

    Top mount of the strut. Identical problem on ours. Drove me crackers for ages. Had it back and forth to the garage (who I trust) who couldn’t find anything until he suggested to try and replace it. Solved it immediately.

  7. Installing RCD310

    Thanks for the reply. I'm going to order the surround through Dave@Sere, but he's away until the 21 Aug. I've had a look at the wiring and the quadlock is missing a wire to the safe pin. Can I just take 12v feed from another pin to it, if so, which one? Thanks again.
  8. Installing RCD310

    I've just bought a RCD310 HU to replace a temperamental Altea original HU (turns itself on during the night). I thought it would be a matter of just plug and play, but I've heard there could be gateway issues that might affect the use of this HU in my 2005 car (battery drain). Could anyone...
