Easy way to see if the drivers door micro switch has gone. When all working fine if you unlock the car but do not open the door within 10 sec or so the car will relock its self. So just unlock the car and open and close the door within 5 seconds, the car should stay unlocked as you have enterd the car. But if it relocked its self when you open and close the door then the micro switch must be gone, as the car dose not see its being opend

bit harsh saying dont get them They were on the car when you got them :-) so how long have they been used in a car that takes a lot of pounding :-) Like most car part they will not last for ever rain/rust + good old pot holes = parts go snap hehe

Would also say Coil pack loom follow the loom back from each coilpack for abut 1m and see if any wires look dry or cracked

£100 to refurb a turbo ? wow thats good I have the same 4x4 as you and mine was making some strange sounds and passing oil when left for 20min ticking over But dropped my sump 1st and found 50% or more of the filter was block with crap So i gave it a good clean and refitted the sump new oil+filter and have not had any probs I would do that befor doing your turbo if you have not done so already

Hand kinda the same thing When i had lowerd my car right down low it made it so there was not a lot of movment up and down on the spings, So when taking corners and bumps it would feel like the tractions was getting lost by the body roll lifting the wheel up as there was not a movment there ??? Try rasing the car back up to its max hight and see if you get any change ?? only thing i can think off if you have looked and all the rest

Go with the Valeo solid flywheel conversion kit will out last all others We use them to replace the oem setup on skode taxi,s

Need to recut the threads the the next size up and then just put the helicoil in for the new size cut to take it back down. Not hard to do Stripped some myself Just had to drill out and tap the bolts out of a TDI turbo this week lol ready for a new center Turn =snap on the way out Fuuuuuuxxxxxxxxxxx hehe made my week

from your vid you can see were the engine mount boilts used to sit ?? Have you have work done in the past ? as it looks like its slipped on the mount or was no put back in the same spot ??? Making it closers to somthing that it hits off now the mounts are showing there age ?

If you dont have a good setup to do this it can turn out **** :-) If you are itching to try it your self then go get an old boot lid from a scrapper and have a go with that befor trying on yours

Had probs with my 4x4 were the drop links hit the wishbone could not find any to fit right so did it myself :-)

I would think any good remaping place would put it back to standerd and refund you if there map made the car run bad ?? Take it back to were you got it done.

Done my one last yr :-) This is half way into it :-)) I run it all the way back to the ecu and removing the old pins from the ecu pug and inserting the new :-) And 100% get the Part No: 8L9 - 121 - 659.....(Heat Deflector) posted above
