Hi all was reading through an article yesterday about a tpi for the accelerator pedal because of intermittent idle problems I telephoned skoda Cardiff today to research this they say not also checked for a tpi for water in rear footwells as we all know common fault nothing anybody have in more info on this?

TPI or TDI ?

DB.

They wont do anything about the doors because they sell the sealant to fix the problem!

What a rip.

Tpi I assume it means technical problem inspection something like that it's not a sealant issue had that done b4 where they resealed the inner door card the thin metal piece back to the door I think water is collecting on that seal and not running out of car it's pooling and running in I think

TPI = Technical Product Information.

A bit like an internal dealer memo that warns of defects and recalls.

You also have TSB's - which are Technical Service Bulletins, and Recalls.

www.aboutautomobile.com/TSB/

Has TSB's released for most companies including recalls for all dates up to present (albeit it's a bit hideous to trawl through lots of pages).

Now it doesn't necessarily help that much... Unless you then google for the TSB after.

For instance:

Googling TSB 2010461 comes up with:

http://www.myturbodiesel.com/forum/f5/2004-vw-jetta-tdi-bew-engine-hard-start-13333/

Which in turn documents a workaround for a hard engine start in wet conditions. Pretty useful

Thanks for the abbreviation definition. Very helpful indeed. I love this forum :-)

ps for those of you old enough to remember TSB was the Trustee Savings Bank. They have long-since gone the way of the dinosaurs!
