Thanks again. I've put up a classified here and I'll see what I get - Off to ebay next. And I'll sort out some decent pictures. I've got some but it was raining when I took them so not very good.

I have *genuine* Ross tech cable. HEX-USB and that works fine on cars this age. A 1998 car doesnt have CAN. The different versions of the software can all be downloaded from the ross tech web site.

Yep, thats exactly what you get with the connector problem under the seat. I'd be inclined to check that the wires havent been damaged before I put resistors in, but a resistor would fix it. I'm sure you do need to reset after fixing.

Ah - must type faster. if there is a fault then the code will just re-occur as soon as you clear it.

what version of vagcom are you running and what sort of cable? For the older cable type you are limited to an older version of the software I think. The usual problem is the connector just under the seat as has been said. What is the error message exactly? The connector for the...

cheers guys. I'll take some pics later and bung them on and do a full condition list. If I had a garage I would break, and I am asking around to see if anyone would loan me one for a while.

We've reached the point where our A4 has to go and I'd appreciate some opinions on the best way to get rid. Its a 1998 1.9tdi quattro avant in cricket green (the loud green) with 145K. However its getting a bit tatty. There is corrosion on the wheel arches (can only assume a previous...

that doesnt sound unreasonable. Given bank holidays and an international transfer. They will want to be certain payment has *really* cleared. Did you IBAN? Roll on the UK joining the Euro I say.

Thanks AndyMac Mark

Hi, 1998 A4 avant. I want to fit a new head unit - The original one's finally given up (lasted much longer than I expected). I'd just like to clarify what I think I need to do, and some simple questions. Reading through the threads I need to 1) run new speaker cable to the rear...

quattros have adjustable rear alignment. Checkthat some pillock hasnt set the toe in using a standard mirror kit fixed onthe rear wheels and given you toe out instead. Thats what cost me a set of tyres on our q.

I thought all the usb ones were automatically licenced. what is the car - is there actually power to the correct pins of the socket?

have you sorted whatever caused the fault ? what did vag-com say the error was ?

early cars use what is called K&L lines - low speed single device talks at once. canbus is multiplexed and high speed. they use different pins in the socket, different signal protocols and different encoding. I dont think can is supported on the free version of the software. Look on ross...

Hi, I'm thinking of replacing my wife's R plate A4 quattro tdi with a 156 2.4 jtd (maybe 2002 year so pre-facelift) Anyone have any comments about the 156 (we would get a sportwagon if that makes a difference) thanks mas

has the door sagged at all ? As you close it does it move up slightly ? If so a common problem on A80's and I have seen it several times on A4's that the hinge wears. You can replace the hinge or for a cheap fix unbolt one of the hinges and slip a washer between the body and the hinge...

I would get legal advice and sue the driver for replacement cost in the small claims court. I am sure that HonestJohn (the torygraph motoring writer) has covered this. try his website. I dont believe that you have an obligation to deal with the insurer. Do you have witnesses etc? did...

Indeed, the DS is also a classc - but I thought that putting one Citroen on the wall might result in a bit of flack. Putting three up at once might get me hung. SM was a very advanced car for its time. Had the fancy suspension, the masserati engine, and the headlights! Although I saw a C6...

How about this? Citroen sm OK how do I make it a poll then ? - sorted Edit - Thought it was sorted - how do I change the poll title to Citroen SM

can anyone explain - in simple terms - the difference between gl-4 and gl-5 ? I asked the local dealer what spec i needed and they said they didnt know - they only had the audi partnumbers £15/litre for the two types. Local motor factor has comma semi-synth 75w90gl5 at £4.50/litre, I want...
