Has this excellent site been resurrected?

I once had the brake lights working after having a new switch fitted, but got the flashing glow plug sign about 2 weeks later which showed as brake switch fault on simple vag-com test. Switch needed about 1/ 64th of a turn to properly align. Did anyone fit a new switch lately?

Thanks, will keep in mind (for when my boat comes in........ And there's isn't a dock strike on)

Hi Silverbeast, £160 sounds good as opposed to what I usually hear. I see you are in Otley, I'm in Bramley, LS13, where did you go?

I used my vcds-lite , the free one with Windows 7 for asges, and it works just as well now have upgraded to windows 10

Thanks SilverBeast, That works! Still puzzled why it started though.

Have been viewing and enjoying this site for years on my tablet. Has something changed as now every page has shrunk to half width on page. Can't find a setting to get it back to full size. Using Android on a nexus 7 as I have for 2 years

Easiest thing to try is to check for spiders and webs in or on the sound sensors Then it is probably worth checking the wiring in the doors and tailgate.

My late 2003 130tdi has 109K , and runs fine. New battery last spring. However, Sometimes lately, engine spins without firing straight away. Then will start straight away on 2nd turn. Does this sound like relay 109 to anyone?

P.S. its a late 2003 130 tdi

Mine lasted 8 years and 2 months, Just got slower and slower, then finally gave up! Had to get a new one fitted on a Sunday, so paid £115 fitted for a 100 amp 4 yr warranty from Wilco motorsave. I do lots of stop start, so reckon life was quite good for a diesel. Previous car (?) was a petrol Renault Kangoo, which never had a new battery in 9 years/110K. Sometimes lately, engine spins without firing straight away. Then will start straight away on 2nd turn. Does this sound like relay 109 to anyone?

Thank goodness sense has prevailed, and we have lost the ranting. Thank you for keeping this site informative, light-hearted and clean.

Thanks for the info Doug that will put a few peoples minds at rest. Perhaps this might make the brushes last longer? Mine (130ASZ) still going at 101000. Here's hoping

Sorry, I don't know about MK1 fitting. Link to page you need on FAQ section isn't working tonight for some reason. Mirez will hopefully pick up on this or chrispb123456 who are both really helpful.
