Thats not an aerial Dave, it activates the reserve fuel tank. A few turns of the indiscreet key and away it goes. Looks almost a factory fitted option to me. ;)
 
Today i fixed my limp mode fault, I replaced some vacume pipes that were worn and had a good check round underneath and found a couple more jobs to go on the to do list ,, running sweet as a nut again and as id changed my driving style knowing she had a fault my mpg has gone up to over 60 mpg which im pleased with as its about 10% more for actual fill up on the miles :rolleyes:

Today I........ reset the 'torsion' value for the injection timing.
I'd just finished replacing the cambelt in time for last Sunday's Temple Newsham social and on the drive down to Leeds felt the engine was a bit noisy and not as smooth as it was before.
I'd double checked the timing after turning the engine over by hand and refitting the locking tools so was comfortable everything was basically OK - but somehow not set up as good as it had been....... then I remembered an old post by Luftube highlighting this article - http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/c...lue-adjustment-on-vw-and-audi-pd-tdi-engines/
I checked the setting with VCDS and found the value was + 4.8 so with a bit of trial and error got this down to about 0.5 (the actual reading wavered between 0 and 0.5)
The engine immediately sounded sweeter so hopefully a road test will confirm the improvement.
Only tricky bit was removing the to cambelt cover to do the adjustment.

Cheers Spike

PS. Should have also said..... Today I ...... reflected on what a great job Hillary and the team had done in organising last weeks event

Spike - Can you do that operation with VCDS-Lite or only the full VCDS?

Simon.
