I'm just after the numbers if anyone is willing to send them to me?

The head unit does not need to be working or have a code as all i need is the buttons 1 to 6. Mine have come off and i am trying to prepare the car for a sale. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Alex

Doing an oil change this afternoon on the fab, i have read through the 'what oil should i use' thread but was just wondering what are people recommendations? cheers alex

never had an issue, i always use shell fuel save diesel

cheers guys, i will try the engine mounts first

i supose that other than changing them out is there any reall way of telling if they are loose? would a simple test of trying to move the engine around show me if its going?

that is what i was thinking

anybody?

so when i change gear a get a knocking from the front left corner of the car, someone will have had this but whats the obvious? gearbox mount? cheers a

ok thanks dude!

i just bought a k&n panel filter from ebay before reading this thread :( everyone would recommend me sending it back when it arrives?

i just pressed buttons(ALL OF THEM) and now its fixed

when i press the tp button it either does nothing or if i hold it down for too long it just enters a series of menus...

x2 im getting ****ed off with this thing now!!! hahaha

the brakes were bled by the garage in the above fashion and also with a pressure bleeder to ensure there was most definitely NO ait in the system. i have checked all pads and obvious stuff like sliders etc and it was none of them. When i went to the garage i was talking to the mechanic there and he said the only other possible thing it could be would have been the master cylinder. There is one more thing to try before i fit a new master cylinder and this is to get a different garage who have vcds to bleed the abs unit and also bleed the system from the master cylinder. the garage i went to did not do this as they said there was no bleed nipple on either the abs unit or on the master cylinder.

just to warn you, if you have a show cage fitted be careful on trackdays as some can turn you down if the cage is not welded in as it becomes more of a hazard in a crash than anything else. i beleive this is only on some of the bigger circuits but for example if you wanted to enter these bigger sorts of events then you may come across this issue. i suppose with this in mind it would be a good idea for you to get a removeable one so you could take it out for the times when you need to!

very true, thats why, as good as the internet is and however good the advice can be. things can only be explained in type to a certain extent. i have took it into a garage and they say that it felt like the master cylinder had gone. with all the problems that occurr on these cars i wouldnt mind trying a few of the smaller jobs before having to have a new master cylinder fitted to the car.

i have taken it to a garage to have a quick check this afternoon and they agree that it was not correct! they bled the system from the calipers and then settled on the decision that there was an issue with the master cylinder. i think my best option would be to either get a master cylinder and get it sorted that way, otherwise get the brakes bled again from the master cylinder and through vagcom on the abs sensor

that you are mate! we were just discussing why anyone would write such a comment!

doesnt sound the same as mine mate, my pedal feel is always the same wether i have been using them alot on a town journey or wether i get in the car first thing in the morning.

thanks ken, this seems to be the general concensus of the matter so i will say this to the garage when i get to them and see if they agree with what has been said. thanks a

decision made then via the advice of other people aswell. i wil not change the master cylinder as this sounds like it would be a waste of time. it sounds like a full flush and bleed of the whole system is what is needed and then take it from there onwards if the problem still occurs. I thought it was stupid of whoever it was who said that to actually put that i follow the same philosophy as you "sepulchrave" if youve got nothing of any help to say that dont say it at all. In this situation where the brakes on someones car are concerned people should just think before they type. thanks for your advice though, i am being led to think that it will just be an issue with a serious amount of trapped air. ok thanks for that advice but strangely enough it does not seem to tie in with anything that anyone else has said on this thread. I will be taking the car to an independent garage tonight so i can get there mechanics opninion on the matter and see wether that ties in with what has been said on here.

thanks for the advice, the only thing is that if the seals are already damaged in the master cylinder this will mean that using one of these pressure bleeders wont actually do anything. do you know what i mean?
