Car died and have found that there is no fuel getting to the filter. There is power getting to the lift pump in the tank so guessing that rules out the relay and means the pump itself is knackered?

Am I imagining that I've seen a thread on this before? Fitted HID's today and on the short test run I took this evening the fans were running constantly which is not normal... coincidence?!

Just received new shocks and springs ready to go on in the next couple of weeks but the rear shocks don't have the lower mounting bushing which I'm assuming I will need. Anyone know the part numbers for these or where I'd be likely to find some online? Thanks!

Morning all, So yesterday about 10 mins in to a 110mile journey I noticed the car was shaking uncharacteristically. At slow speeds it can only just be felt and I only picked up on it as I drive it everyday but at motorway speeds it is very noticeable. Felt unsafe to drive above 70mph as it was...

So I'm fairly sure my brakes are not right and that my servo is not providing the assistance it should. The other halfs '02 RAV4 has much sharper brakes as did her '07 focus. I'm used to them and know that I have to apply a little more pressure but after driving anything else it is noticeable...

Evening all, Does anyone see any potential problem (apart from looking awful) in me installing my new shocks and lowering springs on the rear and then taking it to my local indy for them to do the fronts along with a full set of arms? Means the rear will be lowered (35mm) and the front as...

The turbo on my 1.9tdi (AWX) is suddenly not kicking in until around 2000rpm where as it used to kick in nearer 1600rpm. Suddenly feels really sluggish. The only thing I've changed are the vacuum hoses to 3mm silicone. Could the smaller diameter have this affect? Cleaned the MAF yesterday with...

Just had the car back from getting a new brake servo fitted. Brakes work fine but I now have to depress the pedal about half way before I get any stopping power! Done a bit of reading and air in the system or possible master cylinder seal gone have come up a few times. Anyone experienced this...

Car has just gone for an MOT and has failed on the brake servo (I asked the guys to look at it as I had my suspicions). It's completely rusted through and they've quoted £295 for the part plus 4 hours labour @ £55 per hour. I'm sure I've seen a servo listed for much less that that before and...

Need to change my offside rear brake hose for the MOT and was wondering if anyone had any tips? Can't find anything online and elsawin hasn't got much to say either. I understand it's just a straight swap over making sure to keep an eye on brake fluid level and a proper bleed afterwards. Will...

Just got in the car to drive home to find absolutely no go in it at all. As if someone had nicked my turbo! No lights on the dash, temp all fine. Car is a 1.9tdi AWX on 114k. Been a really good drive up until this. Recently serviced and fitted EGR delete a couple of months ago but other than...

So this morning was driving to work and twice had a very hard brake pedal and very unresponsive brakes! Wasn't an issue as very few people are awake that early on a Saturday but want to get to the bottom of it before the misses and little one use the car. Seen a few threads online about water...

I know the B7 wiper arms fit but does anybody know if B8 aero arms would?

So the hose coming from the top of my intercooler (which attaches to the hard plastic pipe next to the oil filter housing) is leaking. The hose doesn't come off but the connection isn't snug. The seal and clip look in good condition. Have read in a couple of places that the lugs that hold the...

So just changed my air filter and had a look at my EGR assembly for when I take it apart to clean... And there appears to be oil all over the intake manifold and EGR... Which I'm guessing is a bad thing! attached a couple of pics...
