Thread: Fuel Primer
Post: RE: Fuel Primer
Are you sure your fuel sender is returning the right value? i.e. your tank is showing 1/4 full but it's actually nearly empty, and 1/2 is really only 1/4? |

Thread: 3 sets of glow plugs in 3 months???? HELP
Post: RE: 3 sets of glow plugs in 3 months???? HELP
Have you been using cheap glow plugs? If so, get yourself Bosch Duraterm plugs and you'll probably find they'll be alright. Get your alternator tested to make sure it's not outputting too much voltage... |

Thread: Boost seems to be coming in later?? Any ideas?
Post: RE: Boost seems to be coming in later?? Any ideas?
Check the intercooler D seal hasn't split or blown out as it can leak from there and be difficult to find. They're usually a few quid from a dealer. I had that issue once before. |

Thread: Intermittent Clock / Temp Display
Post: RE: Intermittent Clock / Temp Display
Sounds like a dodgy connection on the bulb. Take it out and have a play, maybe even replace the bulb. See how that plays out before replacing the unit. |

Thread: 1.8 won't start after Clutch replacement.
Post: RE: 1.8 won't start after Clutch replacement.
Is it possible to put the HT leads on the wrong plugs when refitting? If so I'd double check they're right. |

Digital multimeter. Does sound like an earth or other connection issue. I'd check everything is tight on the alternator and that nothing is worn or frayed. |

Thread: XUD warm start unstable idle
Post: RE: XUD warm start unstable idle
I sometimes found that the car would cut out and then not start again because of it too. I sometimes had to use the prime grenade to pressurise the system again. Was always OK from cold though. |

Thread: Loss of power steering etc
Post: RE: Loss of power steering etc
Sounds like the belt is slipping, causing the PS pump to slow down and the alternator to slow down. Tighten up/get a new belt and you should be good to go. |

Make sure you're running the right grade of oil too. My Passat drank oil when using 10w40 but on 5w30 it doesn't seem to touch it... Just a thought. |

Yeah even with ESP off it still lacks. Could be turbo lag though. And with ESP on it still wheel spins if there is enough of a greasy road surface! |
