    My Red TypeS wagon

    Ok i can confirm i am able to switch the service reminder on and off with my hds. Even though it warns me that it can't be reactivated once deactivated. Basically there is 2 sections where you can find service reminder settings. The first is on the first screen you will come to once all...

    My Red TypeS wagon

    If you go into device manager on your laptop and change the com port setting to COM1 it should work or maybe look for a better driver for the com usb converter. The recent version 3.103.066 is what came with my hds

    My Red TypeS wagon

    Yeah let me know will be interesting. I'm annoyed at myself coz if the service reminder starts to annoy me i might not be able to deactivate it. I only just purchased my hds so maybe it let me switch it on as it's the newest version 3.103.066 but i find it strange why they only let you activate...

    Fault code b2631 Honda Accord

    When i purchased my mk8 i had 2 sensors in front not working. I found then on ebay sent from China in my paint colour. Far cheaper than dealers and they looked real enough to me even came in honda packaging with what looked like official part number sticker. They've been on for two years now...

    My Red TypeS wagon

    I just got myself hds and accidentally switched this feature on. Couldn't find where to switch it back off though. If dealer switched off with hds how did i manage to activate with hds.

    2.2 i-dtec turbo stop screw

    If you could check for me that would be great. I've noticed with mine i got my father to start engine whilst i looked at its movement. It seems to move to stop screw for around a second then as revs settle it moves away around 2mm. What I've learned from all this is if going down the route of...

    2.2 i-dtec turbo stop screw

    That's great thanks for checking. Could you confirm though is it actually touching the stop? Mine looks like it is but i can pull it up with my finger an extra little bit then it hits the stop. The new cartridge did stop the whine but i still think it's setup incorrect. I tried reducing length...

    2.2 i-dtec turbo stop screw

    Just wondering if somebody with a 2.2 i-dtec could check if the turbo actuator arm touches the stop screw on turbo housing at idle after starting engine. I never seem to see another 2.2 i-dtec like mine in the car parks when out and about hoping to ask the owner of I could have a wee check on...

    Stage 1 remap premier tuning

    Another one for Fahad, I'm on your Stage 1 DPF + EGR Remove btw you'll probably remember me I came down from Glasgow with my father and you found that my DTC code table had been deleted from a previous owner map that had gutted DPF without blocking EGR pipe. And you sorted everything out and...

    DTE pedal box

    Just got myself the DTE systems pedal box from DTUK. 3 settings which all are tweakable for improved throttle response sports plus mode is insane you'll think you are doing your car damage lol. Highly recommend, you can switch it off and to be honest the car feels broken back to stock and makes...

    Anyone tried replacing Egr pipe on DTec 2.2?

    There shouldn't be any pressure in the pipe for it to split once it's blocked at the manifold end. Fahad knows these diesels well. If it was blocked at the other end which is hard to get to anyway as it's at the back of the engine at intake manifold, it curves around from front to right side of...

    Parking lights

    Don't think I've seen that headlight on any mk8s driving around. Could you post up a picture of them up close during the day with lights off and on

    Parking lights

    I wouldn't bother with the long leds as they don't last and you'll be having to tackle changing them again and again. Get the Philips extreme ultinon 501 led in 4000k colour they are less yellow than standard halogen 501 bulbs and should be fine for mot. These are what I'm running and i got...

    Anyone tried replacing Egr pipe on DTec 2.2?

    I agree. It will only run in internet explorer browser, also after you've selected model variant in the small drop down box at the top left and then when you select a category underneath on the left window nothing will come up in the right window unless you click the magnifying glass next to the...

    Anyone tried replacing Egr pipe on DTec 2.2?

    I've had a look at the procedure and it's a bit of a task for me to screenshot it all. There is a few diagrams for each stage so that you can see the torque values for each bolt and I'd then have to mess about with each image on a photo editor to get the file size below the 100kb? Max limit for...

    Rust - like this - how bad and does it pass MOT?

    My 8th gen in same colour has it in same location only it's just starting. Get yourself a little tube of the tcut or carplan scratch remover and it'll clean off all that orange rust staining. That's all that orange stuff is, the rust is underneath the bubbled paint. Then get one of those touch...
