Upper Servo is the distribution motor, the lower one on the RHS is the temperature blend. Should have a wrap of blue tape on the cable to it, and it screws to a blue plastic standoff from the heater box itself. The distribution motor should have a grey wrap of tape around the cable, and slots...

Yes, contact cleaner will help clean the plug one the loom up. I have a few dead DSP amps here, but might have one of those top boards which is usable if you wanted to try swapping it over to see if the rest of the amp still magically works!

The goop is normal - it's hot glue or something along those lines to stick down/seal in some components. It might be possible to replace the top board if that's all that's failed - but sadly the DSP amps have a habit of failing themselves (probably why it's been replaced before) - and are near...

Just seen I was tagged here... I cant help with the diesel issues, as I have a V8 - but the latch... I see you are in Norway, so I gather you have a LHD vehicle... I think I might have a couple of LHD latches kicking about here on the shelf, but I would need to check. I'd recommend doing the...

Airbag ECU needs the ignition on for you to be able to communicate with it, but then so does the Motronic (in fact pretty much every ECU other than the BECM needs to have the ignition turned on). If you have a 2002 vehicle, then also make sure you are trying to talk to the SRS system with the...

Unfortunately without knowing what codes it's coming up with, you could be chasing yourself! Yes, the recirc flaps will throw a fault, but I don't think this should happen right at startup - when I test HEVACs on the bench, I used to only have 1 recirc motor and unplug/replug between the 2 to...

You will need to wait (as I gather you have been doing) for KEY CODE LOCKOUT to disappear from the dash BEFORE trying to enter the EKA code. If you do it whilst in KCL, then it will ignore it and you won't get anywhere. If it still won't work, then unfortunately it's probably gone into a...

The logic board underneath is the one with all the brains on it. Unfortunately.. even though I could explain how it works, how all the vehicle information is stored down to the individual bits (I spent a good few evenings working that out!) I'm not going to - because ultimately it's a fair bit...

I believe it was originally mostly for GEMS petrol vehicles - the compressor clutch plate was known for wearing, and you could remove shim washers to close the gap and get it back within spec. The HEVAC controller drives the compressor clutch through a MOSFET (same as for the lights etc) and it...

It's been a crazy year work-wise - I have no idea how it is middle of July already! So haven't been about on any of the forums much, and also still trying to fit in works on P38's for other people, and myself when I am at home means I've had next to no spare time! Have you still got your P38?

Yes, 1.7 km is standard when the vehicle isn't moving. I don't know why - but as long as they are all showing the same, then it's generally OK. Out of interest, what voltage are the sensors showing on the inputs page? Going by the Brake switch operation that you've mentioned, that is all...

There were some differences in the head castings I've seen - I don't know if it was differences in early to late model year production, or what. But on one of the other forums a guy found that out when he bought spark plugs and found they wouldn't fit as the heads had smaller channels where the...

Though also as a side note... on the WABCO D system, in the Nanocom, they WILL show as both being OPEN or CLOSED at the same time (they aren't because of how the switch is wired though). The WABCO C system shows up as one being OPEN, the other being CLOSED and then them both swapping when the...

One thing I have found with the WABCO D unit is that if it isn't showing a fault at that particular moment (ie is intermittent) then when it comes up "No Faults Found" press OK, and then you have the blank box. Press the RH Arrow, and sometimes if there are historical faults logged, then it...

If the key is just spinning in the lock - as in completely 360 degrees spinning, then chances are someone heavy-handed has previously broken the tab off the lock barrel and it's now not connected to anything. If it will just turn to lock/unlock but nothing happens, then as others have said -...

Hi there, I had a message from you, but it wouldn't let me post a reply to the conversation - so have sent you a separate message back. The short version is that we are currently out of stock on the filters, as they have been more popular than we expected and we have both been stupidly busy...

One other note about poly-bushes... I did a workshop weekend for a few owners a month or so ago, with the aim of doing radius arm bushes (as I have the tool to compress the bush and press them into the radius arms, and a 20T press). One guy was putting standard bushes in as his had come with...

If you can enter the EKA properly in the door to get the vehicle started, then you *should* be able to sync the key (if the receiver is plugged in) to the vehicle and then use that to lock/unlock it. It sounds as if the passive immobiliser is probably turned on in the BECM, which makes it a bit...

I've seen issues like this on my tester (which is set up for testing auto vehicles) when I've put a BECM on from a manual vehicle. My guess is that the BECM you've fitted is set to Manual transmission. What was the reason it was swapped in the first place?

I'm a bit late to this particular party, I know... Firstly... regarding the WABCO D and Nanocom... there are a few inconsistencies/errors between the Nanocom data and what's actually happening on the vehicle, which I found years ago when I was playing around with the ECU's and trying to fix...
