    Urgent help required please.

    The only other way, I would do it is : Take it apart from the other side. Pull inner wheel liner, filler neck pipe, and hope you can force the solenoid in to release the filler flap. Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk

    Airbag light after Glovebox change

    With a cheap Elm327 Bluetooth device from amazon, you can read error codes. Personally I got a China clone of Ross tech cable, takes longer to arrive. Try installing old glovebox back in, or just the electrical component, with yellow plugs, to see if that fixes issue. I am no expert, but the...

    Airbag light after Glovebox change

    In, or next to, the glove box is a switch that enables/disables the passenger airbag. They are usually only switchable by using the ignition key. Information should be in the user manual. May be the previous owner disabled the airbag, so switch it the other way...

    Airbag light after Glovebox change

    Yes you've done what I would have done. Maybe a extra bit of resistance in that circuit now. The way the system checks is it measures the resistance of each airbag/tensioner circuit and flags any which are either too low or high. The 3 ohm resistor, fools the tests, but is only used as a...

    Airbag light after Glovebox change

    3 ohm resistor. Done. I like to use 0603 3 ohm resistors on a clipped header strip. The smallest fix ever! [emoji4] Or you could check all the yellow connector plugs systematically, but do disconnect the battery and discharge system by trying to crank. Also check the connector to the baby seat...

    Injector issue

    Had similar thing with my a6 c5 2.7t avant quattro tip 2001, turned out to be two bad injectors and am still tracing down pcv leaks. Have thought about getting some Chinese replacement injectors, but think it will complicate matters, as they could be bad from new! Good luck, and check MAF...

    Help needed, totally befuddled

    Managed to get two ARE heads, just in case. But anyone know where I can get cam cap bolts? 058 103 460A/C or WHT002015 {last is most recent revision, M6x40) Have a lot of helicoiling to do, as sure threads will 'yeild' when torqued to specs!!

    Help me, totally befuddled....

    There was a reason my nickname was 'Double Lucky Leo'... Turns out the 'actuator test' must have found a sticky cam adjuster or two, causing the timing chain to skip....... causing the timing to be out.....then the beautiful marriage between valves and pistons.... YEAY!! On the plus side, this...

    Took plugs out vented combustion chambers with compressed air and tube. Cleaned plugs, even though new. No change at all. Got stock AJK bin from NefMoto and compared to my bin with HxD and identical. Must be stuck VVT adjusters?! yes/no?!?

    I think I'll just pop over to nefmoto and flash an original map. Saving my map to compare my errors. Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk

    Help needed, totally befuddled

    I think I must have 'cleared leared values' thinking it was just the ECU 'drivers style' and c**ked something up. Litterally sound as if 'the ht leads are in the wrong order'! I'll wait until I get the VCDS stuff and then see what I've ballzed up. Mechanically it has not changed. That'll teach...

    Only when it sounded like ****. Popping off cam covers at mo... All looks good, chains tight nothing knarled, except my knuckles. Totally clueless. Shall put back together and check fuel pressure... Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk
