    cat D write off

    key woes

    im thinking the bit with the blade and the transponder are in one half, so simply disengaging this part and swapping it to a new battery part should work?

    key woes

    My a4 b6 key has finally stopped working, think it was the spider battery connection that has packed in. I have managed to get a key same frequency and model etc. *** the transponder is in the blade part, is it a simple case of swapping the 2 button pats over so my blade is with the working...

Checked each corner and nothing making contact. As you drive past other cars it echos and sounds louder. When speed...

    EGR leaking oil

    So I have oil which appears to be leaking from the EGR valve, took it apart and there is a bit of oil inside it. I presume the EGR is knackered and needs replacing, however if I just blanked off the EGR will this stop the oil entering and leaking too?

    Fuel leak offside 1.9tdi

    Fuel leak offside 1.9tdi

    Just had an MOT fail on an offside fuel leak in the engine bay, the strut support has a matting on it and that was damp with diesel and looked like the surrounding area was damp too. Was going to strip down and clean it up to try and spot any leak, but can anyone think of a likely suspect? Any...

    Key Fob not working

    Had the fob apart a few times and the contacts seem good. Yeah was thinking it might be a poke around in the door. I doesn't bother me as much when the fob was workign as it was just a couple of presses on the fob, but when its a manual walk round the cars and lean in.. Thanks for the suggestions
