    Is there anything need to know about TDI 90 ?

    Hi @dj_efk The advise on the DMF might be a little vague, I've not read the specific article, however it is a fact that the DMF's lifespan will be reduced if the vehicle is labouring, or indeed if there's too much torque being applied through it. You mention pottering about in low gears surely...

    Help...

    Hi John, It might be useful for you to update your profile to include your location Town or County. There are many helpful members on here who are willing to drop around to local owners who have issues or need scans, and that normally only incurs a fee of tea/coffee and some polite...

    To keep her or not ? Advice please

    As others have said, your issues might be cracked and leaking water pipework, or they might be slightly more troublesome and be the start of a head gasket failure - you didn't detail the 2018 overheating problem or what was replaced, but that might be where you're problems stem from. My advice...

    Cam belt + service?

    Hi Nigel Was the price PLUS or inc. VAT? If including VAT I think it's a great deal for a TDI. If the price was plus VAT and OE parts it's still a good deal. Cheers Jeff

    No Lights

    Do you have front fog lights?...if so, are they working. What about your rear fog light? Have you got the original headlight switch, or is it one of the new one's with coming home lights? Cheers Jeff

    Sunroof not working after mod :(

    @depronman - it might be a good idea to post up the wiring to test the motor/roof anyway, then Cameron can perform a test and confirm the results. Cheers Jeff

    Are there any members around Northampton or Milton Keynes?

    Hi Steve, It's a silver TDI 75 with a few additions. If you look below this message, at my signature, you'll see some of the options/additions. It's a fun car, but also my daily driver on >200K miles now, so it's not pristine - however I try and keep it looking reasonable :) Cheers Jeff

    Are there any members around Northampton or Milton Keynes?

    Hi Stevieb, As Darren and Simon has said, you're not alone in this part of the world. I'm roughly between M1 J16 and J18 - a couple of villages past Harlestone on the A428 As Simon has said - once we are free to travel a bit for pleasure I'll also be up for a meet, even if we still have to...

    Is there a Sherlock on this site

    @Beeno, You really need a scan to determine if anything is being captured. It's rare but does happen, that the alarm horn fails, so if something is triggering the alarm you might not hear it go off. Troubleshooting battery drain isn't very difficult if you've a digital multimeter - once...

    Oil usage on petrol BBY 1390 1.4 engines

    Okay - well if the oil is sitting mid-way between the marks and the oil level indicator bongs, I'd be inclined to suspect a failing sensor or sensor cabling rather than an actual oil useage issue. I think you mentioned some recent service work - sometimes, depending on the work carried out...

    Oil usage on petrol BBY 1390 1.4 engines

    @AlvaroP, I find no mention that you've check the oil level with the dipstick, and hopefully this is not the case. Sensors can fail, and it's as bad, if not worse, to have more oil in the engine than too little. Check the oil level on the dipstick on level ground, engine cool or stood for 10...

    Limp mode

    The part in question is an air pressure sensor and is located in the top section of the intercooler on TDI 75's or in the alloy pipe between the intercooler and EGR on the TDI 90's. Cheers Jeff

    Vibration noise at low revs 1100-1500rpm

    Hi Josh, Very difficult to provide a guess with such little to go on. What are the conditions the car is parked; Is it garaged on level ground or on a hill pointing downwards under a tree? Has there been any recent work done on the car? What do you notice when removing the bonnet - can you see...

    Breakdown

    Hi John, A temp sensor would not cause the car to cut out. You haven't yet said what engine you have (and what year), and this info is likely to be useful in helping. Cheers Jeff

    o/s shocker top bolts

    The nice thing to hang on to is that, assuming you've used quality parts, your suspension will be good now for many miles/years to come. Happy days....:) Cheers Jeff

    Replacing Glow Plugs

    Hello, You should post your question in a new thread as it doesn't seem to relate to the original post. When you post your question you should provide full details, such as exactly what parts you have replaced so far, what the car was doing before your work, what it's doing now, etc. Cheers Jeff

    o/s shocker top bolts

    Nope, no point in removing he scuttle panel - a lot of patience is required, along with some small tools. I use a 3/8th drive fine tooth ratchet that's only 3" long, a slimline 1/4" drive torque wrench and also a 1/4" drive flex ratchet. Shallow sockets also help. Once you get a half-turn on...
