Heres abit of a dumb question: But did you actually clear the fault codes on the ABS controller? What are the current fault codes that the ABS controller gives? Did you insert the ABS sensors fully? If they not close enough to the toothed wheel...

no

I've taken 2 abs sensors with me just in case ;) ;) 👍

If you dropped it off for me to do, I'd still be trying to get one of the abs sensors out later this afternoon. Car would be ready to pick up, all sorted, some time in October. :vb-lol: :vb-groan2::vb-groan2:. I proper struggled.

Hi Mark, I’ve been thinking of getting these to replace my faded limo tints. Even paying top price I was unable to match the grey shade tints I’d used previously so mine have gone brown after five years. I’m going with these blinds, now I’ve got...

I'd say the high corner will give slight adjustment issues and lead to a worn pump my good man👍

No need to swap boards, he already has a BECM that is supposed to work the seats.

Yes but unless it has already been cloned to his car the keys won't work and neither will the EKA.

True, but if he has the BECM, I would hope he has the FOBs to go with it. EKA is best turned off regardless..

How many wires are on the sensor in question? It sounds like just the heater side has failed, if they a four wire. 🤔

Likely a duff sensor.

If the steering angle sensor is out of calibration that can kick the abs in so best get the codes read.

Had some new tyres fitted this morning. 235/85R16 so only abit larger than standard;)

Easy enough to access. Just unbolt the mounts & turn it over. The EAS 12V is on C174. Plenty of ignition switched feeds under there as well.

Nope, you just measure it's length😂👍

You measure it👍

Exactly what I always assumed as well - i.e. it's already stretched. But I have re-used them on many cars over the years, except my Blue P38 which now has Arp Studs.

Not heard that. I thought any stretch boot could only be used once or it is past its Youngs Modulus?

. . . . . and one other point. If you do this, make sure you wait for the BECM & EAS to go to sleep before doing any wiring. If you interupt the EAS before it sleeps, you can end up with odd behaviour where the car drops to access every time...

One of mine had an extra ignition switched relay when I bought it. (some sort of tracking & DVD system). So I simply moved the feed from F44 to the timer relay to go via this extra relay. Upside: No self leveling when the car is off - tank &...

Bought her a nice new R/H front indicator cluster. Checked, double checked, checked again and bought the correct one. Only I didn't. I bought the L/H 🤦‍♀️🤣 but it's ok. It can go in the shed until needed 😁

IMO If you want it that is. No electrical mod will stop this. The self leveling doesnt use air from the tank, It will only level down the air springs and will only get to the bump stops if it has a leak in 1 or more corners. There is a leak...

It should not drop to the bump stops every night, mine stay up for 2 weeks or more. Just change the EAS relay to stop self leveling. Whatever you do, it will drop if there is a leak.

If you do put a standard relay in don't throw the original away as you will ned to put it back in for diagnostics to work

You forgot the step ladder and scaffolding 😂

Bonnet in service mode and plenum champer out makes a world of difference when doing engine work!

Being new to a TD6 myself, I didn't know about the airbox trick. Will keep that in mind for the next time I'm threatening to set fire to the truck. Thanks for the tip 😃

04 td6 vogue Hi All I had problems with rough running rough idling ,a friend told me to do a leak off test . Yep had three injectors overfuelling . Had to keep driving her until one afternoon bang awful knocking and i mean clouds of grey/white...

It came out without help! You can use head bolts 3 times.. probably being over cautious

I think its partly because they know you have either cut it off or beat the crap out of it cos its rusted in place :D or its just a CYA on their part. I replaced my front prop and found out to late that I should have used new bolts, I didnt and...
