    Adding to the collection..

    So I currently own a 7th gen cdti tourer and am now looking into the idea of getting a 6th gen (maybe 7th) auto saloon/hatchback. Heard some pretty good things about the 2.0 petrol in terms of 'bulletproofness'. Is there anything in particular to look out for on the 6th gens and roughly what is...

    SATNAV on a 03

    I was looking into this a few months ago but ended up giving up mostly due to the climate control. I don't like the idea of having the display so low down which it would have to be for a second unit, and the only ones I could find that were a straight swap in place for the OEM were random far...

    VSA/ABS Check warning

    Very simple to remove calipers/discs. Just two bolts in the carrier (from memory they are 14mm or 12mm) and two small screws in the disc. Best to use an impact driver to remove these to make sure the head doesn't get KO'd, they can be a little stubborn

    Inlet manifold de-coke (2 Cars done)

    The EGR valve itself and the small 90 degree pipe didnt have any oily/fuel build ups though, just a small layer of dry soot there. surely if it was the EGR at fault the same sticky mess would be there too?

    Inlet manifold de-coke (2 Cars done)

    I spent almost the entire weekend just gone doing this, what with all the crud that was in there.. But a much healthier feeling car for it! Pulling is much better in all gears, most noticeable from stationary. Great guide and can't recommend this enough. For anyone interested my car is on 172,000..

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    Recommendation here for fahads garage, I had this done a few months back (also from birmingham area). Great speedy job, and great service from the guys too. Dropped me off in Bradford town centre for the day and picked me up when it was done. For the 30 in petrol costs, well worth it even just...

    There a few different pressures depending on the vehicle load, the more in the vehicle be it people or luggage - the higher the pressure :)

    EGR and related pathways

    Hey guys, looking for some advice - Thought i would do a nice sunday evening clean of the EGR related bits and bobs (excuse my ignorance i'm no expert on the names for the parts!). So, about 6 months ago I cleaned up the butterfly valve? and the corner piece holding the sensor? these were in...

    Installing a Double Din

    Sounds good. Yeah will contact the seller about comparability with diesel - I think I read somewhere it's to do with the a/c being slightly different between the two. Thanks anyway tho, given me the confidence to take the plunge when I find a compatible one!
