hi i recently reprogrammed after it wasnt working it now works but only unlocks i know that it is getting the signal as whn you hold it down it sends the windows down and when you hold locking button i sends tem up could this be a control box issue?

also just a thought check the egr valve at the front side of engine on the bottom left it has a vacuum lead to it this may be causing it

hi does the code reader you used have a live data function so that you could see if lambda switching air flow switching etc high revs is a sign of intake leak but if it isnt doing it constantly then it shouldnt be it sounds more like idle speed controller to me as its rvving up n downsee if it has live data and then check the isc position sensor and see if it moves with the revs tht should eliminate that

i work at an independent merc specialist and we get 124 [old e class] diesels all the time they go through a lot of heater plugs and smell mingin but seem to run fine in warm weather some of these cars have over 200k on the clock i definitely wouldnt use it on newer cars though and i was also wondering about the emissions test for the mot test i might give it a go in my 1.9 tdi alhambra 97r small mix at first

have you tried t cut on the scratches this and a bit of elbow grease should remove them after t cut you should always wax the car with a good quality wax

also think they could have disturbed something if it has done it since the service

are you running the car on gas or petrol when the light comes on if it comes on when you are running on gas try getting the fault code erased then running on petrol and see if it comes on [you could try diconnecting the battery for half an hour to erase the trouble code but yuo will need to have your stereo code reset time etc i tried this on my alhambra to do the central locking then reprogramming the key but it failed ] i had this before on a grand cherokee and it was the gas system putting the light on

gregers have you took th small chip out from your oldkey and put it in your new one tis small chip is the transponder for the immobiliser it is tin i nearly lost mine in tescos looking what battery it takes

hi ral here is how the remote cntral locking works on my mark 1 seat alham there are two recievers one near the rear view one abve the back seats they recieve the signal from the remote they send this to a control box that is under the passenger side stowaway [grey metal box] this accepts the code and then unlocks the doors have you tried reprogramming but aiming at the back reciever you have a mk 2 but i think they are pretty much the same most standard remote central locking systems work his way it must be ford cetral locking as vw use a vacuum system and the solenoids on this are electric [solenoids open the doors

hi the vicar i live in stockport also have you tried euro car parts for your turbo thy are better but you will need to take yours off as it is an exchange unit i am a mechanic and it is not that difficult to do by your self 2 oil feeds remove intake pipes and remove from the exhaust down pipe i have never done one on a galaxy but it shouldnt be that bad

ihave a similar problem with my 97r tdi alhambra i cant gt reverse unless i run through all forward gears even then i cant get it and i have to drive forward in first for 2 feet then brake and try again i think t could be the same problem i am going to try the raise and lower linkage first i think

hi there every one i am just like the rest searching for a fix 2 a problem i thought it might have been the linkage and stuff on this top notch web site appears to confirm it i have been having trouble getting reverse gear for a while now and i suspected it was the raise and lower linkage i hope it is i have a 97 r alhambra tdi
