Hi everyone A/C stopped working and having had a garage plug in a diagnostic tool it came back as faulty A/C pressure sensor. While the garage is pricing up the repair can someone tell me where it is located / potentially how difficult or easy the job is? I can't find it in the Hayne Manual so concern it's not a job for your average guy. Thanks in advance.

For anyone whos interested, see attached photo for broken Vs not broken. I ended up wrapping a few loop of thick gauge wire round it to act as a latch stop. Not my prettiest fix and I'm sure I can have wire locked it better but car has been on the road for 2 weeks with no issue.

Hi all This morning the bottom intercooler pipe came loose. Not the usual 90deg bend one (part #2) that failed but the metal connecting pipe (part #3). The tabs on it snapped. I suspect because I brought a reinforced 90deg bend pipe years ago, it now failed at the next weakest joint. Does anyone know if I can get an aftermarket pipe to replace that whole 3-pipe section (part #2, #3, #4) from the intercooler to turbo? Don't mind an one piece hard metal pipe replacement, at least less points for it to leak. WOuld consider replace part #6, #7, #8 if not too expensive. I had a look and ones I seen are either silione hoses or metal but designed for a specific, aftermarket intercooler for power gain. I like to retain the original one and just replace the pipe. I am also considering using self tapping screws but want to explore all the options first. Thanks.

@TMB That's the one, thanks. Fortunetly a widely used part across the VAG range; I called a VW dealer who happens to have one available for tomorrow so crisis averted. Many thanks again.

Hello all I'm looking to replace the oil pickup pipe this Wednesday but seem to have miscalucated; I forgot to get the associated o-ring. Could someone kindly tell me what the o-ring size and material is? Or suggestion where I can get one that's not from the dealer? I will give the dealer a call first thing tomorrow to see if they can get it in time but thinking backup in case it's just a generic part I can get from a high street shop. Worst case I guess I will reuse the oring. Many thanks,

Hi all Quick question, is the cylinder head, gaskets, head bolts for the 75bhp egnine the same as the 100bhp power version? Haven't got the haynes manual with me right now to check. I'm looking to do a cylinder head swap witha refurbed unit and wanted to see if the 2 versions are the same, in case i make a mistake with the part purchases. Many thanks.

Hi all Annoyingly this problem has reoccurred but this time the variable speed isn't working but the other 2 speeds are. I'll go through the obvious check again like last time this weekend with the multimeter and the spare motor I have but wondering @Wino if the relay switch in the interior module can cause this failure where just the variable speed isn't working? Many thanks,

Hi All Appreciate your advices here. My front wiper system (in all modes) stopped working yesterday. I've tried and noticed the following: Front washer and headlight washer works so assumed it's not the classic fuse issue; have checked the fuse 15 and 41 just incase which works fine. Disconnected the bonnet switch to see what happens; still no front wiper. I can hear the relay engaging everytime I try switching the wiper on so there's power going to the part of the system. Not sure if the relay is in the body controller or as an external circuit. Are there any other simple/obvious things I should check before getting the multimeter out on the motor/stalk connections? Are the fuses next to the battery part of that circuit? Thanks,
