  1. I'm a bit confused as to which method to use to install. Here: sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk/android/how-to-choose-and-install-a-rom/ is a kind of manual install which I'm assuming applies to Gen 1 phones and here: youtube.com/watch?v=XZ9VgyaIT4w&list=FLtywmcsYHJv1tadRkQNJ5vg&index=1&feature=plpp_video is a kind of auto install which I'm assuming applies to Gen 2 phones only. Is that correct? Thanks
  2. Hi, Has anyone got one of these phones and put a cusctom mod on? I'm thinking Cynogen 7 etc. I would like to try this but am concerned about bricking mine. So if anyone can help me do it and lives in Notts area please let me know. Nick
  3. Hi, Just curious about this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diesel-Particulate-Filter-Cleaner-DPF-375ml-/180742006600?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a15102748 Anybody used it or something similar? Is it possible that a £20 can of liquid can 'clean' a DPF?
  4. OK have it your way. Consider that if you got stopped and they said your NSF tyre was below limit (without a serial number to determine the actual tyre in question) you could easily change it for another and argue that it wasn't below limit. HAve a look at the numbering on your tyres.
  5. Every tyre has a serial number. It's not enough to just take a photo without that number and say it was on a particular car. Therefore, should have given a FPN or summons to follow both with said serial number of offending tyre(s).
  6. Mine was pretty difficult to get out but you are right about the need to remove the light as with it in situ there's no room.
  7. Location of MAP sensor FYI although early ones I beleive are located on intercooler pipe higher up and easier to remove.
  8. Your welcome Hope you get it sorted one way or another
  9. Anything like this? http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/178834-any-ideas-on-this-noise/page__p__2151778#entry2151778 This noise seems to come and go with mine. HAven't done anything with it yet and dsatrted around 8 months ago
  10. Immobilisor? Sounds like a problem I had with a Polo where the transponder in the key was not communicating with the ECU. Don't know if Skoda's have the same ring type thing on the outside of the ignition barrel which casued the problem.
  11. I always use these: http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=bolt+extractor&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=ivns&biw=1680&bih=889&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2271817584877893792&sa=X&ei=rAG5TYWvF5K38gPf57hL&ved=0CJUBEPMCMAg#
  12. Look here: http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/56019-list-of-fault-codes/
  13. Got one of these the other day. Great bit of kit and does what you need it to. If you only need to read and diagnose codes this is what you want. Here's a cheaper link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAG-405-DIAGNOSTIC-FAULT-CODE-READER-VW-AUDI-GROUP-/110653831263?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item19c37b785f Can also get more expensive ones but this seems to do the job. Alos have one of the cables to use with VCDS lite although not used it yet. A bit paranoid I'll do soemthing I shouldn't.
  14. You could try hooking up a jump starter via the cig lighter to give the car power while you change the battery to be sure. Heard somewhere that there is a way to turn the radio code request off.
  15. Seem to remember there was someone with a Mark 1 Octavia TDI on here with 392,000 on the clock. I'll see if i can find the post. EDIT- It's here: http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/179612-how-long-can-she-keep-going/ 435,000 miles
  16. Throttle position sensor possibly? Connection, broken? It's part of the pedal. Maybe some other techies could clarify?
  17. Hi, What does the ball part do in the photo? Is it connected to the vacuum? Thinking this may have something to do with lost vacuum and limp modes. Photo curtesy of mbames - sorry it was easier than taking my cover off etc...
  18. Yes the pic explains it. Thinking about when my limp modes started a couple of weeks later I travelled from Nottingham to Preston. Had the EML light on and going into limp mode, cycled the ignition and it was ok. I found that leaving it it 4th gear on the motorway (70mph +) stopped it form going into limp mode but if i put it in 5th gear it would go into limp mode again so maybe the vacuum has something to do with it i.e more vacuum at higher revs, 4th as opposed to 5th gear. Checked my pipe on the vacuum. spins round a bit but maybe the clip needs replacing (still on original VAG clip) but no noticable hissing. Does not seem loose other than turning round a bit. Did notice that there was some (old) oil deposits there.
  19. Good question about the vacuum. But as long as this is only feeding the brake servo and nothing else couldn't really see how it could affect limps. Dunno about the play in the joint but will check mine tomorrow and let you know. I'm quite interested in this VVT VNT turbo problem as I have similar issues which I think are not connnected with sticky vanes and maybe more to do with other reason i.e. MAP etc. although I chaned both the N75 and MAP 4 months ago. This seemed to cure limps and didn't have a problem until a couple of weeks ago when it started again but seems to more ok than not. Nick
