  1. Ah fair enough, I missed the intermittent ecu fault. That could cause any mapping to get corrupted during the updates. But that could also be corrosion in the pins or a wire break in the loom to it. I assume they have pulled the ecu and tested it on a known good loom?
  2. Morning ! Welcome along
  3. My money is on the EGR delete not being coded properly by the mobile tuner, esp if he was quick to blame the injectors without saying why, and dodging you trying to make more contact. Putting the map back to standard with the egr and dpf deleted the eco is going to be having a fit trying to figure out why it’s running weird and the sensor information isn’t as it should be so will be doing all kinds of weird fuel/air adjustment trying to make the flow values make sense to itself. Needs to be coded out properly and tested, by someone who knows what they are doing. I had an egr delete (dpf still there) done in Jan on the same cayc 105 engine in my octy and I have had no problems with it since it was done πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
  4. Good morning @KMeziani While this forum is open to the world, the vast vast majority of members are from the UK and Ireland.

  5. Evening, and welcome along! Always a good thing when a long lurker makes the leap to signing up, says the membership here must be doing something good 🀣 You’ll also notice now you’re a member there’s a couple of extra areas available to you that are members only viewing, with extra help and just general life chats to jump in on 😊
  6. New members are limited on access as part of the automatic counter spam measures. One measure in place is a min post count before you get β€œimage rights”. It’s not a big number of posts you have to get to though.
  7. Hi Des, welcome along! Have a look in the roomster section, I’m sure it’s been asked before. If you can’t see it - Google site search Briskoda roomster fuel relay. It will work better than the forum software’s search which isn’t great.
  8. welcome… back? 🀣 Enjoy the new car… even if the service side of life hasn’t been great!
  9. Hi David, FYI, the site admins don’t like it when people try to hide links to external, unvetted non sponsoring businesses, unless it’s a legitimate business relating to to help solve a members problem. Property management doesn’t count as tha Edit… I see someone has already removed you hyperlinks.

    another new member @lasausage is probably even closer in as West Cork as you can get in Ballyvourney, beside my old college roomate's neighbours πŸ˜‰πŸ€£ welcome to the irish brisky contingent @alex1978
  15. I lived with an O connor, hung around with Barretts (Ballymakeery) and Hoares (yeah, genuine name..) and a couple of others i cant remember surnames..but pretty sure they all worked in The Mills at some stage πŸ˜…
  16. Ha! I lived with a guy from Bally-v for 2 yrs while i was in Aberdeen Uni 🀣 08-10. There was also... 5/6 others from the Bally-v area they all knew each other (of course) in Aberdeen 🀣 if your wife is from that area... shΓ¨ probably knows them too... might even be one of them πŸ‘‹

  19. Hi paul, Welcome to forum! the kodiaq should enough power and space to handle what you to throw at it... somewhat biased, but you made the better choice over the sorento. ive test driven a couple of kias over the yrs and they feel... light? weak? thin?

    Morning! Welcome to briskoda, Hope you find whatever information you might need and enjoy the general vibe around here πŸ‘
  21. that gap is awful 🀣 but, id say if you got out the sewing kit and and a hot glue gun ,you could put a strip of black cloth from the parcel shelf to the seats with some popper buttons. then make lots more to design that works and sell them to roomster owners πŸ˜‰
  22. springs... dampers may be gaving their own leakage issues possibly, but its the springs. could be broken pigtails, or... more likely, a previous owner has replaced them with "these are definitely the right ones for your car sir" cross platform compatible (ie they fit a golf, a3 and a leon too...) springs. which arent the correct rating for your vehicles exact weight. ohhh the thread count for "why is car sitting so low at the back with my new springs" is likely in the hundreds here, just in the octy sections..
  23. I would expect to see the dpf light coming on if it was related to failed regens and or blocked. the " joy" of egr failure is that it is slow, and intermittent to start. and just gets worse. keep an eye on it, and try to replicate the conditions that bring it on, will help diagnose it.
  24. Hi @Tropheus , the above is a guide i wrote to tracking a dying egr from my 1.6tdi cayc experience. its as detailed a breakdown of what you can expect to happen as it gets worse.
  25. Evening! Welcome to brisky! given your vag based background, you should be pretty familiar with most of the likely foibles youll find with your new car too ;)
