  1. No they wouldnt disclose them but they are genuine.
  2. Just had both steering tie rods replaced both side and re tracking done all under warrant at supplying dealer know fault and factory TPI issued for this issue. Not public knowledge as such so take the car back and get them to change them Good luck.
  3. car went back to the supplying dealers and they confirmed not one but two TPI recalls. The sterring rack tie rods both sides replaced and retracking done which has solved the low speed noise when parking and also oil leak from cam chain cover new seal replaced again factory TPI noticed oil on the lower plastic engine cover on driver side wheel well. Both replaced under warranty at no cost but a little ****ed off that the car was sold with these know faults. Happy to say all fixed. Garage did have issues in parts being delivered to the dealer ship so make sure you get a courtesy car.
  4. I will take the spare wheel if still for sale?? Where are based?
  5. Hi there, Did the A1 alloys come as a straight swop over? How is the handling now you have changed the wheels (less crashy/ harsh and what rubber have the audi wheels got on them ? Thanks
  6. Yes its a 14 plate monte carlo tech black edition with 26,000 on the clock. Only recently noticed the low speed steering noise seems or sounds like a steering tie rod boot scraping on something not metal to metal so not panicking at the moment bit have a day off next week so might get local dealer to look at it. I'll update you when i know what I'm dealing with. I suspect they will try and wiggle out of it but the car is only a few months old from when I picked it up and I had to argue the toss with them to service it before purchase!!!!! Criminal
  7. My monte tech is making a similar noise, A little ****ed off having bought this from a main dealer with a known fault that should have been fixed prior to taking delivery. Will get on to the local dealers for a warranty claim.
  8. Genuine unmolested skoda octavia vrs 1.8 180 bhp for sale. Full skoda history to 80,000 miles then a few independants followed by specilist independants during my ownership of 4 years. 157,000 miles fully documented and reciepts for work over 4 years. 2016 saw the dual mass flywheel and clutch replaced along with cambelt water pump power steering pump and some suspension parts by Audi specailist APS Brackley at a cost of just over £1,200.00 reciepts and photo eveidence to support work. Google these guys to see what they are all about !!! Amazing service and knowledge and come highly rated. MOT till July good condition for year (53 plate). Four good tyres all matching and washed weekly. Genuine, clean and usable daily driver. Past the last MOT with no advisories or issues. Current issues: 1. Requires full oil and filter change as service now due. I was looking to drop the sump and change the pick up pipe summer job! 2. Rear discs and pads will need replacing at some point and calipers overhauled. 3. Does have boost issue down on power with no turbo boosting. N75 changed, mass airflow, air filter, throttle body cleaned pcv valve and hoses checked and replaced where needed dump valve all genuine like for like parts from TPS etc.... all hoses checked for leaks although no pressure test or smoke test done. I suspect a stuck or faulty acuator. 4. Scanned with VAG Com and no fault codes. 5. Noisy secondary air pump did throw fault code but bolted up and carried out the repair for the faulty rivits common issue. No fault code but still a little noisy on start up but not everytime. 6. Main light switch needs replacing 7. Sticking micro switch in passenger rear door does not always lock on the remote all other doors fine. Kept working with wd40 or contact cleaner, periodically. 8. Radiator mounts broken, like it when I bought the car so the occasion squeak is heard. 9. Few minor bodywork issues trolly dinks etc.. and front a rear bumpers could do with a re spray if I was being picky. Washed and waxed weekly so kept very clean with no rust or paint issues. Generally age related marks. The car drives well, no smoke on start up or when driving. Climate contol air/con all works as does everything else cd changer in boot all ok stock stereo. This has been a fantastic car and has never let me down, very reluctant sale as this is genuine unmolested and origional car. I did think about putting it into storage and keeping it but decided it has to go. A new car makes this a very reluctant sale. Asking £600.00 as it stands. The car will be taken of the road next week SORN but run periodically to ensure its ready to drive away. Would like this to go to someone who will continue to look after the car and can perhaps invest some money and time into it something I dont have at the moment. Welcome any questions and happy to supply more info if needed. You can contact me on [email protected] No test pilots or tyre kickers genuine enquiries only please and no silly offers.
  9. Well hunting revs on cold start cured carried out TB realignment on Vdcs and problem solved this moring when started the car so anyone with erratic cold idle problems I would suggest doing TB reset.
  10. Thanks for the help on this. Still puzzels me though. Just tried cold starting the car this morning and revs up and down between 1000 3000 wouldnt settle to normal idle. Turned off and restarted and settled down to just over 1000 rpm. Constant no up and down hunting. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
  11. just to add can someone convert this to excel and repost for me please ??? so its clearer to understand in graph form!!!! did another scan for error codes and only code was 17964 - Charge Pressure Control P1556 - 35-10 - Negative Deviation - Intermittent so same fault. also the car didn't want to start first time this morning had to crank over for second time. It was colder this morning than it has been so hoping this is not the start of a cold morning issue also. Thanks
  12. For anyone with Vscope know how. Just done data log of boost pressures requested v actual and there is a huge difference which leads me to suspect the wastegate is not opening at all. can anyone shed any light on this log for me by looking at it as to what the issue might be. LOG-01-021-323-115C.CSV
  13. I would probably suggest passenger side drop link is the fault. Nearest the kerb had to replace mine twice due to our ****ty pot hole roads
  14. Thanks for this most helpful, already checked rosstech wiki for these codes. So aware of what i need to look at. Pretty ****ed about the MAF not working on 4 days old !!!!
  15. The saga of low boost pressure continues at least now i have done a scan and had the following errors. 4 Faults Found: 16795 - Secondary Air Injection System P0411 - 35-00 - Incorrect Flow Detected 17964 - Charge Pressure Control P1556 - 35-10 - Negative Deviation - Intermittent 16486 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70) P0102 - 35-10 - Signal too Low - Intermittent 18010 - Power Supply Terminal 30 P1602 - 35-10 - Voltage too Low - Intermittent Readiness: 0000 0000 Which leads me to either the MAF bosch recon unit bought from ECP is not suitable for my car despite vw part number being the same and possibly faulty N75 valve despite cleaning it out. I know that the secondary air pump needs fixing but that shouldnt cause a boost pressure issue so a new MAF from tps and oem n75 needed is perhaps the next route. Anyone know which blocks on vdcs lite I need to messure for n75 testing amd what values I need to look for. Standard car with no mods
