Yes must come off, 14xzn for the carriers

If it's still overcooling after all of that I'd question if the work was actually done by the mechanic..did he give you the old parts.

Thanks for replying, no fault codes stored (checked with OBDELEVEN) may send the binnacle off

Hi, I've got an 02 Fabia TDI. Can someone advise what the fluid colour should be? Is it green? Thanks.

Hi all, just bought an ATD engine PD100 (privately),and I missed the fact the C.E.L didn't come with ignition! I've pulled the binnacle and the dials off the board but there's nothing untoward, no tape, no Sharpie, nothing. I'm assuming it may have been mapped out? For what reason I'm not sure as having scanned it there aren't any stored codes. Any idea if I can (using Obdeleven) remove any map? Thanks, PP

Yeah, block 93, should read - (negative) then a number. I've heard anything lower than -5 i.e 5 or 6 means the chain is stretched. My 2.0tsi is on -3.7 for example last time I checked!

That definitely sounds like a stretched chain or failing chain tensioner. A cheap code reader will tell you the code. Anything cam correlation related will be chain out of time. Get it sorted asap before it destroys itself.

Yep, mine frayed in the driver door hinge from normal opening & closing. The crash sensor in these are in the driver's door so throws an SRS light.

DMF may be on its way out, explain why the vibration stops when you press the clutch. The springs in the dmf can fail causing excess movement

It's used to reduce vibration, they should be on the trailing side of caliper

Contact vag bolts on eBay, he'll have the M10 & M8. You can also put your VIN in Skoda7zap or LLLparts to find your part numbers. They aren't the most user friendly sites as they're free.

Did they change any brakes/discs/pads at service? If they didn't push in or wind in the rear pistons (properly) they'll be seriously dragging on the discs

Youre best off getting some verniers on the actual bar

Yes but they'll have slightly different parts numbers for Skoda/VW/seat etc

Yeah I'd risk it. Intermittent issues are a pain. May be worth getting a scanner on it to see what code is stored. Might have just interrupted a dpf cycle
