Quick update - I’m pleased to say my issue has been resolved by fitting a new bosch power steering pump. £180 for ECP with discount code £150 labour Very happy!

I had a same car (engine rebuilt by audi then remapped) and we used it as a company pool car. It is quick, much quicker and pulls all the way through the revs. I was impressed. I have an octavia vrs 2.0 tsi with 220bhp and its not that far off. Something has gone wrong with the OP’s remap i...

That’s what I thought originally and thought it was just tge battery. However its a mechanically driven pump off the aux belt. Basically at standstill if you steer really slowly thw wheel is not that stiff however sudden steering change or steering quickly it goes really hard. When you’re...

Hi Diesel bob, thank you. That’s a good suggestion and was one of the things the second garage did as they are VAG specialist and know their stuff. It was something they checked and unfortunately wasn’t to be.

hey - anyone done this before? I appreciate its quite rare!

Looks like I will need to change the power steering pump on my b8 2.0 tdi (caga) as 2 garages are now not sure why my steering is heavy. How easy is it? Does anyone have a guide or helpful hints? Hoping I can do it without removing the fromt bumper. Any pointers or help would be great!

THanks but i’m not sure what i’m supposed to do? Its asking for a vag number which is what i am trying to find

i’m normally ok with finding part numbers but this one has stumped me. I have a fault with my air intake temperature (g42). Fault is: 5552 - Intake Air Temp Sensor (G42) P0111 - inplausible signal The car is a 2.0tdi CAGA engine. Can anyone tell me what the part number is of the sensor pls...

Well here's an update... Changed the front caliper 2 weeks ago and 1500 miles of trouble free. Now I don't know if its me but when the brakes a warm they feel like they are all slightly dragging. I did a full bleed when the caliper was changed. I've run a scan and no faults. I'm stumped by...

I tested mine by lifting the car on all four sides do a brake fluid change and then spinning the discs. One was noticeably more resistant than the other even though the piston would eventually retract. I also had a laser temperature monitor which showed disc on one side was about 70degC warmer...

I’m pleased to report no more judder for me! Turns out it was the caliper which wasn’t seized just ‘lazy’ at returning. This eventually was overheating pads and discs leading to judder. The pads and discs were new so i haven’t replaced them and there is no more judder! Very pleased

Put your hands over your brakes and check if one of them is hot. I have the same issue (read my other threads) as I am having a stuck caliper which is leading to horrible judder from 70mph onwards. My disc is blue from the heat cycles. Could be that?

Ok thanks. Will replace fluid and report back. Really tempted just to stick a new caliper and pins

THe mechanic did last time around. This time I haven’t as its only 2 months old.

Hi Folks, This one is driving me mad and could really do with some help. My front right brake is binding and holding the car back. It's been getting red hot compared to the others. I fitted new discs, pads and flexi hoses (both sides) 2 months ago which seem to have cured the issue above...

Thanks for the responses. Yes new fluid sounds like a good idea as I’ll have ****** it again. Just thinking could it be the guide pins rather than caliper? I’ve noticed ECP dont sell guide pins or does a set come with the caliper? I wondered if it could be the pins rather than caliper...

Hi there, hoping someone can help... I had my front brake pads, discs and hoses replaced 3 months ago due to warped brakes as a result of sticking front brakes. I was told by mechanic tbat the hoses most likely had caved in and stopped return. 3 months and 10,000 miles later they are warped...

I had this last week from my mechanic! https://ibb.co/enCGeF Great car CL vento.

Well I knew it was coming but still hurts! My cambelt and oil servicewas due. Plus my brakes at the front started to stick and warp the discs. Mechanic found that the hoses have collapsed on the inside (is this common??) and boiled the fluid. Both sides. Calipers were ok apparently. So new...
