  1. I am revisiting this because I'm finally going to change the pump. I thought that both v488 and v188 were the same. 

     

    Upon inspection of the part the front pump (v188) is definitely the Bosch 965 567

     

    The back pump v488 (pump c which is the issue) doesn't look like the same one in the front. I don't want to dismantle the whole thing to check. But is it possible the front one is Bosch and the rear one is Pieburg? From reading posts on others forums, mainly @Crasher on the issue I thought they were the same part number.

  2. Hi I need to get a new flywheel for my car, a Skoda Superb 2016 2.0 TDI CRLB 6-Speed DSG.

     

    When I queried skoda-parts they said this is the part Flywheel 2.0TDI CR DSG Luk 03L105266EF (skoda-parts.com) which clearly states its a 7-Speed. Now when I go directly on the LUK website enter my model details, it too says this is the one the one that should fit (LuK 415 0872 09) is also 7-speed.

     

    The part numbers are: 03L 105 266 EF 03L 105 266 AK 03L 105 266 CL 03L 105 266 CM 03L 105 266 DE 03L 105 266 DF 03L 105 266 EG

     

    However when I put the same part number in onlinecarparts etc and on the luk oem or any direct search I can get the a 6-Speed option available. (LuK 415 0744 09). But when I write my reg down and fill in details on most sites it says the one that's compatible is the 7-speed one.

     

    So what's the difference are the interchangeable? If Someone can please help clarifying this for me. Thanks

     

  3. Thank you for your response. I checked the fuses and they had continuity and they were fine. Did swap with another 10a just to be sure.

     

    Next step will be get under the car to have a look and trace the wire. I have a feeling that the pump itself is gone. When I turned the car off the other day I heard a "glug glug" sound almost as if the the pump was trying to turn on. Idea of getting under the car is so daunting now.

     

    Will feedback on the progress.

  4. So I got a garage to do some brief investigation on a ramp. They said sounds like the knocking is coming from gearbox most likely the dual mass fly wheel.

     

    Assuming that is the case I guess I'd have to replace not just the fly wheel but other bits too. 

     

    Can someone tell me all the bits that I should replace whilst the garage is in there

  5. So as the title says and apologies for being vague.

     

    I have a rather weird rattle with no consistent pattern. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. It's definitely not there when the car is accelerating. It sounds like it's coming from NOT the top of the engine, as I cannot hear it as clear when I pop the bonnet open.

     

    I will add a recording when it's night time to avoid daytime traffic noise but any ideas what I should focus on. I should add then initially few months back I heard a squeaking sound which has now stopped and turned into this.

  6. So I checked it using an actual voltmeter. Doesn't help that it's extremely warm here right now so the car first 2 days started as per normal 2-3 turns.

     

    Before start-> after start

     

    12.14 -> 14.05

    Took 3-4

     

    12.18 -> 13.26

    Took 5-6

     

    12.04 -> 14.30

    Took about 12 turns to start

     

    On all 3 occasions, it says power consumption is high and start stop is non existent now. Just comes up with an A crossed out.

     

    Just wondering if it may be worth resetting the battery, as if I have installed a new one? Or not a good idea.?

  7. So lately my car has been displaying this message on the auto start stop information . Power consumption high. When I have the AC running it also says, Engine must be running. I understand this usually points to the battery needing to be replaced, however when I plug diagnostic in on a running car the system shows 13V. I will check physically using a voltmeter but I think it is supposed to be 14? Also when the car has been off for a while say over night or 1/2 days it takes almost 3-4 seconds

     

    I want to make sure its the battery and not the alternator that might be causing problems. How can I test the alternator to see if it is working correctly? I think I am on the right track here but open to advice.

  8. I do have a spare car I can use in the interim. The best people the refurb shocks ( so I have heard are in Poland) unfortunately due to brexit we now have to pay silly custom charges of like 125 euros. per package. The cost of actual refurb is 145 per shock considering that the shock itself (DCC) costs in the region of £300 for bilstein and £350 for oem, seems like a bargain.

    new water pumps are supposed to have been modified, that  to me is like admitting there's a problem without actually saying it  😒 

    i think they call it continuous improvement  😃

     

    at least when they fail it is not a catastrophic failure 

     

    when the time comes to replace , i dont know if after market is the way to go, or cut the  shroud off an OEM pump

    i just  cant make my mind up on the best way to go about it,  but no decision needed for another 2 years or so, unless it fails before then  😂

     

    ps  i've heard gates pumps are now made in china,  i  dont know if that's likely to be a problem or not as OEM pumps might also be made in china.

    One of the reasons I went with INA and not someone like dayco/gates was exactly this. An oem produced part vs one produced by the same company but aftermarket can be of 2 different qualities. Dayco supply oem but they had mixed reviews about the aftermarket. INA (Scahaeffler) are manufactured in Germany and also supply oem hence why I went with them as their wasn't much negative press about them. Can only go of off what is available on the net, even if they are manufactured in china, I don't want to play lottery with what quality i'd get

    You certainly can and many do because their old pump failed with a stuck shroud.

     

    I like the quick warm up but if mine fails with a stuck shroud I will remove the achilles heel.

    I should have probably taken what the dealer said with a pinch of salt then lol.
