Cheers mate, will look for a tdi one then.

so just look for one with the spaced out pulley then? Gonna order from ebay tonight

will a 90amp one off a petrol engine do?

Thanks guys, ill just buy another alternator. Does it have to be off a vrs or will any fabia 90amp with correct pulley do?

Hi guys, as you know ive been having problems with the vrs taking longer to start, limp mode etc. well at the start of the week my alternator starting screeching. I was planning to look at it this weekend but on the way to work this morning i heard it was grinding. I continued on untin i saw my battery light come on & smelled smoke. Pulled onto the hard shoulder & found the alternator pulley had come off & the belt was burning! Removed belt & drove home. What alternator do i need? Looking for a second hand one from scrappy due to needing it for monday. Could this be the cause of my other issues? Cheers, Andy

broken wire? Any tips to locate it?

Hi guys, fitted a new camshaft position sensor yesterday. Cleared codes using vcds as there was an abs one too?? Went to start the car & problem is still there. Taking 5 seconds to start. Sometimes cuts out/limp mode. Checked with vcds & cam sensor code is back?! Timing looks ok (above) What else could this be? Should i cut my losses and sell as it is for £1k? Cheers yet again guys, Andy

Bearing in mind ive not driven it today

Checked it out, wasn't labeled torsion value but reading was zero. How do these readings look? Maf etc..http://imgur.com/jdu2WhC

can i do this with vcds lite?

excellent will order one asap.

Hey guys, got an ebay special vcds lead & vcds lite. Scanned for codes & found this instantly http://imgur.com/jrICfii Camshaft position sensor. Would this explain starting & limp mode problems? Cheers

Its easy mate, took me half an hour on sunday to do it got the fright of my life when it snapped though. I just drilled out rivets & use self tappers next to the rivet hole when re fitting. Sealed up holes left afterwards

Gonna buy a generic vcds lead & get to the bottom of this

thAnks for replying bud, ive got one the same as that buddy. Its been throwing up a few different codes but the constant usually is N/A. Just want to get it running perfect & sell it.Once again thanks everyone for helping my out.
