If the car runs lean or rich you are gona have engine trouble very soon valve vsr failed sensors especialy lambda . fix the staling problem and go asap to your instaler to make all the nesesery adjastments in order the car to run without check engine light.

First find someone with vag com and scan it for codes. The fact that you disconected the MAF and it runs better tels me that the maf sensor is broken.

that isn't a relay,it is the alternators voltage regulator an electronic device which regulates the output of the alternator at 13.8 VDC.

You need this http://www.ebay.com/...=item4169b86f5e if you want the ant amp to work with an aftermarket unit.

This is the fluid we are suposed to use http://s54.radikal.r...a180f5d51e6.jpg i changed mine two months ago its colour was almost black.

check the brake fluid level and don't drive the car until you do that.Also check for brake fluid leaks arround the car.

check the gearchange linkage the mechanic might have disturbed the hoses and one of them gets in the way.

12 vdc are the red and the yellow wires

Yes the window will slide down because the motor acts as a brake.You must use something else to hold the window up temporarily. when you remove the regulator assy check the plastic clips on the regulator usually those break causing the problem you have.

You have to remove the full regulator assy in order to remove the motor from it.

on some 1.6 octavias the clutch works like that if it is not slipping don't change it .

For AVU and BFQ is located in a big multi-hosed plastic house on the end of the block

check the two hoses which transfer hot water to the heater radiator when the car gets hot those two expand and touch the gear change linkage causing the problem you describe

my engine managment light came on with the folowing fault 16555 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Lean i checked measuring blocks 32 and 33 with my vag com, on 32 everything looks good but on 33 it is out of limits goes up to 21% and the limit is 10% any ideas what is wrong with my car?

yes it looks like you need a new thermostat.

my mk1 octavia tour was built at march 2007 i own it from July of 2007

i had the same problem and finaly was sorted when i replaced th tyres.

i have done an LPG conversion to my 1.6 OCTAVIA till now i have done 20000km and everything is fine the kilometers per liter are a litle bit higher with LPG but the engine runs fine (no power loss) LPG ECU LPG INGECTORS LPG ECU LPG RESERVOIR [/url LPG REFUEL PORT

try to locate the leak dont use products for blocking minor leaks these products will damage your cooling system.

i had the same problem a few weeks ago what i did was to cut the overheated terminal grimp a new one in its place and soldered it ,also i replaced the fuse which connects to the terminal as a precaution because it had overheated also the good thing with me was that the fuse box didnt melt

searching over the internet i found this: http://www.flashlube-europe.com/en/products/flashlube-valve-saver-kit.html is it any good ? the instaler of the LPG told me that it is not nececary for my car becayse it dosent suffer from valve seat ressesion. :wonder:
