do we know what amp the cable in there at the moment is ? ta d

cheers for tip .. im surprised someone's not making a uprated one as its so common . its the first thing id look at when buying again , ta d

also what amp wire am i looking for to uprate it ? any ideas ? cheers d

hi , i only by past for a a few second wile checking it , still not a great idea but no intention to drive it and on hand to turn it strait off ,. i got a new second hand wire today from the scrappy and its all up and working with fuse there is still some heat . i also check 2 other vw's with the same set up and they both had some heat . im going to uprate the hole set up as don't want it happening again but should i expect to eliminate the heat all together ? as for the battery its band new so i hope iv not baked it , it seems ok so far but we will see . Thanks loads to everyone on this thread , its amazing what you can learn on here in half hour after spending all day not getting anywhere and swearing

hi , i think the answer to my problems in here but im not quit getting it . my battery light came on and then had a flat battery jump started it a couple of times and then drove it about 2 miles to a mates place . found the melted fuse and by passed it buy sticking the black wire strait to the battery terminal (this seemed a quick esy way to test it but now im not so sure) , it worked fine and but then got i bit of smoke and the black wire got very hot . then went and got the proper fuse and put it all back thinking it will still work and if it gets hot it will blow the new fuse with no harm done . but now it wont turn over , trys a tiny bit like a flat battery buy no where near starting even with jump leads or starter pack . any ideas would be very welcome , have i buggered something else up ? cheers d

cool . it looked a bloody nightmare but from that sounds not to bad at all

thats great info , thanks . , mine has gone today i thing so will need to come off tomorrow , i had a look today and didn't have a clue where to start .. anyone know if its basicly the same on a 1.9 tdi ? many thanks d

i dont know if i pressed it to the floor , i changed them then had to pump them a couple of times to get a peddle buts its just not a very nice peddle , still not had chance to bleed them , still no worse or no better , il have to wait and see i suppose . cheers d

im going to bleed it all and hope that helps so will hopefully sort that at the same time , just seems odd its not getting worse

hello chaps , iv dont the discs and pads as the discs where very warped , iv now got great brakes but a rubbish peddle , its sinks if you hold it on like the master cylinder has gone but its go no worse , could i have got air in there but doing the pads ? i cant see how , also if i have to slam them on they judder . i guess its to do with the abs but i dont think iv ever felt it before on any other car . any ideas ? cheers d

nice one , i found the plug and gave it a waggle then unplugged it and plugged it back in and it kicked in . im delighted , thanks massivly for the help the forums great and RW you are a star , many many thanks D

ok cheers

i wish it was still light , i want to get back on with it now , so will i need to go from underneath for the 4 pin connector ? cheers again D
