    Seat bolster cracking but unsure of material???

    hi, thanks for the reply. ok i took some photos of the seats so you get an idea. definitely not leather but beautiful seats. more like a vinyl (but that makes them sound cheap)

    Seat bolster cracking but unsure of material???

    Hi, I have a 2004 td4 auto which has served us well the last 4 years. It's probably one of the best examples imho. Not many miles on it either But a couple of niggles have started . The drivers seat bolster has started to wear fine cracks. It's not leather but like an expensive vinyl...

    Newbie. Synergy 2 check engine light has come on

    Update. Car refused to start . Eventually after much turning over it started. Got to sainsburys. Then cut out completely on me while going round a corner making me almost go into the side of a car due to no power steering. Eventually got it started again. Next morning I tried to start it but no...

    wrong way round! You were right! I really cant thank you enough. I am so careful and I really thought it was the right way round. I have travelled for about the last 200 miles with it the wrong way. Engine management light on after about ten journeys. Really thought I was f**ked...

    Egr bypass kit off eBay. I got one at £30 and the pipe that has the blank cap at the end was too long. I cut it off and just fitted the blank cap straight but it blew a hole in the egr pipe( approx 10cm long. Corrugated metal pipe). This subsequently melted part of the manifold. I have now...

    Don't get me wrong. It makes one hell of a difference. Just need to get that mil light off. Far better to drive and a lot safer pulling out onto busy roads. Even eiththe light on I do not regret it. One thing I will add is that I done an egr bypass get the kit off eBay but don't get the...

    I was thinking if I disconnect the maf. Reset the code and see if it stays off does that mean a new maf may be in order.

    Thanks. Pulled the rubber cover off. It reset With a third party £20 reader but came back on after the next second journey. Like I say it goes fantastic with the maf part on. Just the annoying light. Very stange. Should I be worried. Or only be worried if the mil light with the exclamation mark...

    Inlet manifold/td4

    How did you get on with this. About to do mine. If I knew there was complications I might leave it to my mechanic. Also anyone know where I can get a cheap egr pipe. It runs from the other end of the egr. It's like a corrugated metal pipe 15cm long. Mine ruptured so I have botched it at present.

    Ah. That must be the thing I am scared to pull off. Will have a go when I get home. Hopefully that's it and i don't mess this up. Pretty sure the synergy mad is correct. I was pretty careful although my original maf may be buffered and maybe this is highlighting it. Is replacing it with a...

    Really sorry, but do you mean the glovebox. It is the face lift model just to clarify. I am normally pretty good with this but I really can't see it. There is something behind the dash that has leads running to it. About the size of the connector but I am reluctant to pull it out.
