    GUIDE: How to remove turbo and clean 'sticky' vane, which causes overboost

    Right, bringing back a well old thread here but if Craig 1.8t is still floating around I wanted to say he rocks for this how to! My 2008, 160K miles BKD Touran has been overboosting for a while and getting worse until this week when it wouldn't sustain motorway speeds without limp! got the...

    Rob, I think we're going to put this one to bed. we've come down to the fact that we think the software inside the siren is telling it not to sound. V94 module controls all the other functions perfectly and as we said before we get the 5v pulsed ramping upto 12v when the alarm is...

    Rob, Ok here goes, the siren connector is an oval plug, 3 wires - +ve, earth and pulsed +ve. Sorry but i don't have the P/N at this time. One thing we noticed which leads us to believe the alarm is switched off (siren told NOT to sound) is in measuring blocks in 35 In measuring...

    just to add, we have tried altering the code to take out the remote, boot release etc and it all works just no ****** horn! Seems the vag balloon shows the standard settings all the time. Do you think we need to change something going through the login button instead of coding?

    Rob, on accessing 35, the code already in there was 15179 comprised of binary numbers 1,2,4,8,32,64,256,512,2048,4096 and 8192. I'm assuming these are the active bits in the code. We tried adding 1024 to it to give 16203 but no noise, it did accept the code. We tried 15178 which i...

    Rob, it's deffo a siren type as it's hidden on the left of the boot behind the trim bolted to a bracket. it has a perm positive and it gets the pulsed positive when the alarm triggers and the earth seems fine too. I replaced the siren but it's still the same and thats after leaving it...

    Hi fellas, Just wanted to let you know that the it was the maf as you and i thought and the logging proved it. 285 g/s at one point. Lovely to be in one that goes like it should. Don't suppose you know how to fix the alarm horn not going off when the alarm does? Think it may have been...
