Frenchtone

Ok had this done yesterday along with a full service, labour for the joint, 1.5 hours, at a cost of 90€ + vat, around 112€ -- I did supply the joint so around 220€ n total -- I don't call that too bad, Around £180 all in!!

Recently there has been coverage of replacing the the rear propshaft 'doughnut' joint ie by the Haldex, and, the method to use, I have been searching on here for some time but cannot find it, anyone out there got a link please, or even a drawing? Thanks in advance

Ok, thanks for that, I had been following it, but from the other side, had another go this morning, and now all linked!!

Hi all Has anyone linked the 2 items above on bluetooth or is the Wiko too new or the Amundsen+ too old?

NVQ --- not very qualified

well done! 😉

Llanigraham I think has one -- Kia Niro 2 HEV 2020 model

I would say yes! But what about the electrics?

Great, well done, I haven't had an opportunity to look as yet, and said opportunity has just disappeared into the distance, I need to have 6 weeks of radio therapy, which, I am assured will leave me weak and tired, so roll on easter or thereafter!

Here a la frog i had to sign a disclaimer as i did not want the 'fix'!

As I recall at the time the owner had to specifically tell the service dept when the car was in for service that they did not want the fix otherwise it was done as a matter of course!

Have you tried premium diesel? It does improve things and usually is more economical overall!

As yet no chance / time,I have just started some radio therapy(no, not Radio 2) and after about 6 mins I just feel f***ed, I am told it gets better, also the temperature is quite low and windy with it, I am quite exposed to the western approaches. So, hopefully soon I'll be able to grovel about.

^ I don't understand the rubber cover statement!!

Photo of my unit, blue sd card visible -- maybe try a youtube search, you might find something on there!

you got a photo to mount? i will try later M y am...+ is a 2013 model, don't know if there is a mk 2 job though!

have you tried just gently pushing the exposed edge to release the sprung catch?

I haven't had a proper look as yet, the test centre guy called me over to show me the problem, couldn't look properly as he was running out of time before the next scheduled test -- hopefully I can look over the weekend!!

So , is it a relatively easy task? I have ramps etc

Yeap, thanks for that, here a la frog just over £100 equivalent!

Just had my yeti French mot'd, passed, although ref to the rubber disc connection, the outer metal rim has parted from the rubber core, have been looking for a listed topic, can't find it, anyone got a link to the posting, and also a part number? Thanks

Ok, battery reading 12.9 after slow charge, cleared all VCDS errors, covered 50 miles, with 6 or so stops, got back home ran VCDS again , no logged problems, so verification I think, it has been a battery problem!

It would appear my problem may be battery based, this morning the reading was 12.17, so am slow charging again, in the hope it might regenerate the battery slowwly -- I suppose this is a result of lockdowns due to Covid, the car having only being used on short shopping runs.

After a slow overnight charge , disconnected and after an hour battery voltage 12.7, this morning 12.46, I have been trying to find relevant postings, can't, are my readings ok, is the battery ok? Been for a 5 mile jaunt, so far no warning light indications! Here's to touching lots of wood!
