    Fault code 17748

    no never got to the bottom of it! In fact the car, although runs fine when the MAF is unplugged, is now off the road and will be sold for spares. Sad as I really liked this car but haven't got the funds or the patience to fix it

    Fuel Pressure Regulator

    I think its in the tank! Only think this as a m8 seems to have a problem with his ESP triggering cutting power whenever he accelerates VAG code 17428 so he checked with stealers who quoted 260 + VAT + labour. They're saying it cant be fixed got to be replaced?

    Intermittent EPC Light - Revs Dropping

    My m8's going through something similar think we've narrowed it down to the fuel pump. Not looking forward to changing it! but after filling his car with VPower it hasn't come back so fingers crossed:sly: Anyway give V power a try not saying it'll work but it will help how it runs

    Castrol Magnatec

    Was in my local Asda today and noticed they had a sale on this oil, 4 lts for £16. Not being sure about the stuff but not wanting to miss a bargin at the same time, I thought it wouldn't go a miss so I bought 8lts. :scared2: So here's my question is Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 A1 Fully Synthetic...

    hand brake gone! whats rplacement cost?

    I payed 25 quid for 1 cable (GSF) just last week, took about 1 hour to fit with the car on diy ramps! Would be quicker over a pit or garage ramps if you can get to use them. Most time spent stripping plastic panels!
