In this forum i have read many people have had same problem i am getting. That is going into limp mode when engine is rev,d hard. I have had a new maf fitted. My car is a 1998 1.9tdi Seat Ahambra with the 110 AFN engine. I have been told by a VW technician to check the arm on the turbo moves about 10mm and is not seized. If it is is a new turbo the only option. Also another thing that has been mentioned is the vacuum hoses. I do not know which are the vacuum hoses on my engine.Can anyone advise how many there are and what they connect. Do they just push on or do they have those factory fitted flat clips on them. Any advice appreciated

Need to change one of the dashboard lights on my 1998 alhambra. Can anyone tell me what type of bulb is used so i can buy before i strip down. Also code or ref no if possible.

Excessive play on LH balljoint on wiper mechanism. Tried rubberbands but seems to be getting worse. Can anyone detail repair using bolt to remove play. How do you strip down to carry out repair. What parts of mechanism do you remove. Please detail modification to repair.

Thanks Chris for your advice on how you removed your sensor. I will attack mine on Sunday.

Hope so but how do i remove it. Can anyone who has changed sensor advise how they did it. As is seems well stuck in place.

ABS light is on all time. Drive shaft rings are turning ok. Tested front sensors, offside gives no reading on meter. Have not disturbed back sensors as i assume front due to steering lock normally break first. Is this sufficient to say its broken or do i need to have a diagnostic check. Also tried to remove it in case i have to change it, could not budge it, do you need to drill it out, or does the hub have to come off to drift it out. Is the sensor a main dealer part only ?

Problem was both dipped beam in headlight bulbs blown. Fitted new bulbs all ok. I was supprised both had gone together and thought it was relay/fuse problem.

Can anyone help. 1998 Seat alhambra. Problem is dipped beam in both headlights have stopped working. When i switch on at dasboard the side lights work, second position to put on dipped beam, lights do not come one. Main beam still comes on throught steering columb switch. Both dipped beams are not coming on. Is it a fuse or relay problem.
