    Please Help

    Thanks guys, thats relieving to hear. I have just contacted the guy I brought the car from so will see what he says. With a bit of luck he will agree to pay the costs of getting the work done. If not then I will contact trading standards as you suggested.

    Please Help

    From doing some research I think it is a lamba sensor fault but still want to get it scanned asap. Brought the car from a trader but with no warranty or anything so I guess I have no comeback? Only ever brought privately in the past. Cheers for the help everyone

    On two of my 4 8Ls I've owned I've had a knocking from the front which was actually the radiator banging around where the bottom of it wasn't bolted to anything.

    From vagcom: 01423 - Lateral Acceleration Sensor (G200) I've replaced this sensor in the past on my old S3 (at least I thought it was this sensor) but it looks completely different. Any help would be great? Thanks,

    Help ASAP Please. Sump Removal

    Cool cheers for the tips, I ended up bending a allen key a bit to get it undone but couldn't do it up properly using this method so will have to go get a wobble bar. On the other hand my oil pick up pipe was almost totally blocked with grit so well worth doing.

    Oil Light, Pressure, sensor???

    Ok thanks very much, I'll give it an oil/ filter change and a good flush through. If that doesn't sort it then what sort of money am I looking at for a new oil pump + labour?

    Oil Light, Pressure, sensor???

    Hi Guys, My oil light keeps coming on and I think it only happens when I'm boosting quite hard. Obviously I've checked the oil and its fine, what other reasons could there be that its coming on? Does it also come on for oil pressure? Could it just be a faulty sensor? I've given it a scan and...

    MAF and Boost VCDS Logs, what to you think of mine?

    Right hopefully if you just click on that link it will open up a PDF, took me ages to figure out how to host it. Let me know what you think of the figures, its for my A3 1.8ts 2001, I think it has an AND re-map as there is a sticker under the bonnet and has a milltek cat back exhaust. Thanks guys

    Can someone tell me where the Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor lives?

    Think prefacelift cars have both the longitundinal and latteral ones under the steering and on facelift cars the longitudinal one is behind the glove box on a golden metal bracket.

    ESP Faulty

    Yep your right they are interchangeable and from memory I think the lateral one is under the steering so I will give them a swap and a scan. Cheers
