Yes here in France, indy ex VW quoting 360€ for labour etc and a Gates kit for 150€ thus about 510€ or £440 in total,. Just curious about the Gates kit, I have used Gates parts on my Marlin without problems - these have been for a Ford sierra setup

The time has come to replace the water pump/timing belt etc Any brand recommendations, and an idea of costs involved?

Thanks I had been looking for something more complex! As above Mr Stupid!!

ah a renegade from the marlin forum i think -- i will have a look!

Ok mister stupid 2 here, the brake reservoir cap obviously unscrews, but there is a plastic piece is located in a 'u' slot on the side of the reservoir, I assume i need to unplug the lead to get at the cap etc, how does that work then? along with the vcds for the haldex this info is also misplaced, it is a long time time since i last did it!!

If you ahve the part code, ebay it!

Thanks for that, in fact, I connected up the laptop etc and had a ferret around, found the relevant section and ran thro' the various stages and the white nylon(?) top had been pushed out, so fairly easy to get the filter out etc. Drained the system, mounted new filter, replaced drain plug and recharged the unit using a 60ml syringe, when overflow occured replaced fill plug and took the car for a short run, checked oil level, needed a small addition. Because its my first attempt , took about 2 hours, now I estimate about an hour for the next time!

As above, how do i use vcds to push out the haldex filter,? I had a download to do this, but it has been misplaced or lost somewhere along the line thanks in advance!!

The B pillar button is to disable the interior sensors , i used it when my dog was onboard and left in the car for the 6-9hour channel crossings regularly made. The internal sensors are rearmed with subsequent locking procedures!!

If your laptop and tv have hdmi sockets you can get it on your computer then watch on your tv I use hotspot shield here a la frog, it gives me a false location around coventry, and I am able to watch catch up on all the major free channels.

My local garage got the job after I failed, they had to acquire 2 x new 12 point pieces to loosen the carrier bolts -- a lesson there somewhere, total cost, 1 hours work 50€ all in!

I had similar indications a couple of years ago on the offside rear sensor, I unplugged the sensor cable at the sensor end ie bottom left in the photo and squirted some some switch/contact cleaner on the plug and socket , remade the connection tried the car, problem solved, split the joint and used some vaseline on it, subsequently problem free!! Might be worth a try.

Yes, it was covered on here several years ago, 3 settings as I recall(soft, medium, and hard) -- it was suggested as an alternative to upsizing the front brake discs on the 140 to 170'size(diameter)

There is a method to recalibrate the heating system in the Yeti, it was covered recently(you need to push heater buttons}, but I cannot find or remember which, someone may be along presently who has that knowledge! good luck

Think I can answer that!!!! ;-))))

280 i think, i have a 4x4 adventure, 140 and that takes 288mm

He is probably talking about oil temp?

^ ^ ^ Large Km, not easily possible, I looked at this several years ago! A recent post by LangersUK (I think) indicated a need to change codes in the eeprom module!!

There is a mobile fitter works out of Derby, he installs for PF Jones Mc/r, I had a Westfalia fitted and coded by him - all works fine! He also works privately if you are interested, I can probably find a tel no for him!!

Yes, sensor prob, had the same years ago, sensor replaced and no probs afterwards - done by garage under warranty!

Bullsh*t!!

I don't think the base model has a maxidot display! but could be wrong of course

^ Yes it does, vcds told me plug 3 - had 'em all replaced!

usually glow plug 3!

^ ^ ^ You said it kiddo!! That would explain all the cars performing around brest And Quimper Sunday afternoons with very loud exhaust systems, monster trucks etc. When I asked my insurance bureau about mods to my yeti, DTUK box, non std tyres the agent told me that it was ok to do these mods without having to tell the insurer(Allianz). I currently have a DTUK box fitted, at CT (MOT equiv) time the inspector has looked at it but never commented, and have always been issued with the certificate, maybe Picardie is on another planet!! ;-))
