The interval adjustment on the windscreen wiper stays on the fastest, moving the switch to a lower setting doesn't work. Switch or relay problem? Also I fitted an Ebay windscreen mechanism and the range seems to be too great, wiper goes on the A-piller. I have adjusted the wiper arm so it sits almost on the panel in the normal posistion, but wiper arm still goes on the A-pillar. Any way to adjust this or is the meachanism not completely correct for the car?

Turbo spinned freely on inspection, so switched the EGR N18 solenoid for the N75 solenid and the turbo spool up was immediately audible on start up of the engine and engine pulled much better. Probably the N75 valve got damaged by sucking on an open vacuum line from the actuator and filled with unfiltered particles and died soon after the leak was fixed.

After suffering from regularly limp mode and then always limp mode/lack of power, I did the Mr. Muscle clean up of the VGT-housing and cleaned the inlet manifold. I found that the constantly lack of power was a hole in the vacuum line to the actuator. I fixed it and I had boost pressure again without limp mode. Turbo didn't make any particular sound other than the faint spooling heard when driving along walls. But now there is no spool sound to be heard, and the engine is lacking power. I checked the vacuum line from the N75-solenoid and only the slightest vacuum moves the actuator and lever. I checked the error code and there was a "P1550 Charge pressure, control deviation code". I deleted it and did a test drive, still lack of power and no spool sound from the turbo. The code didn't come back. So either my turbo has seized or the N75-solenoid is not working? http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17958/P1550/005456

Sagging front suspension??
RallyeSport replied to 6potstew's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I have a 1.9TDI SLX and it has always seem low in the front, even with new original replacement springs from Skoda dealer. Front springs are too weak/low. -
Affordable VAG fault code reader with ABS-functionality?
RallyeSport replied to RallyeSport's topic in Diagnostics & VCDS
Vgate VS450 works perfectly for reading and deleting ABS-codes. -
They are useful on both sides of the sensor, just turn it for the correct side left/right. Deleted the code after installation, worked perfectly with Vgate VS450 with no new warning light. Chiseled the old sensor out with a flat screw driver.

Are these rear sensor interchangeable right/left? I have one, but the sensor part i different top/botten, but the metall sensors goes through on both sides.
-
The left and right side sensor is different right? The are sold as the same for both sides on ebay.

I got a VGgate VS450. It says ABS wheel sensor rear (G46) 00290-035 This was the sensor I changed the last time I had ABS problems, that time I measured it to find a problem with it. It had been working fine, but a sticking caliper has produced heat in the brake disc, it might have taken damage. I tried to delete the code, the reader said it was deleted. I turned off the ignition but the ABS light was there. Also the reader showed the code again. Will try to swap it. Would it been one of the other sensors it would been a nightmare to swap, I literally burned the rear left sensor out.
