hi ive just had my aircon charged up at the vw garage and the compressor kick in no problems , my mate there put some dye in aswell , it didnt feel cold at all just normal , the clutch was going round and the fans kicked in as they should so no problems here , then after a day or so i saw some green dye on the biggest pipe coming off the copressor , i took the under tray off and wiped it to find there was an airline crack in the pipe , has anyone ever had this before , can i repair the pipe anywhere as the new pipes are

Sharan Front Wheel Bearing Drone
jamesey replied to jamesey's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
well ive had my drivers side bearing changed and it still drones what the hell can it be ^_^ it does it at low speeds , more noticable on a smooth road , im going to put the wheels on the back to see if that changes anything , could it be the bearing on the drivers driveshaft??????????? what a waste of money the new bearing and labour was :angry: -
Sharan Front Wheel Bearing Drone
jamesey replied to jamesey's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
It's not too bad, but not the easiest job either. Watch that pinch bolt! The bearing can growl without any play, so feel for any roughness - it's not as easy to determine which side is the problem on the front. i think its the drivers side as i drive it about 40mph and swerve it sounds more severe as i swerve towards the kerb so its when the weight is on the drivers side , the bearings are only -

Wheel Feels Like Its Falling Off
jamesey replied to jamesey's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
the cv boot is empty , its still got oily grease in there but the cv boot is ripped so i cant grease it up with out putting a new boot on , the wobble im feeling is the shaft i can look at where the shaft goes in on the gearbox and as soon as i turn the wheel it moves ok back and forth , when i do it on the passenger side there is play cause the box isnt moving , so it sounds like a shaft for me , where can i get one at a resonable price , a guy on fleebat wants -
Wheel Feels Like Its Falling Off
jamesey replied to jamesey's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
just had a good look and ive found the inner cv boot split on the passengers side , its just passed its test at that aswell ive a good mind to get the garage do it that tested it as they could get into trouble for that , its old oil aswell , i wonder if the joint has seized up thats why its grinding?? -

sorry ive put this in the wrong section should have been in mk2 -
hi i have a vw sharan mk2 and frankley im dissapointed with the ice set up it has a beta tape deck and a 6 disc front loader , basiclly the sound is crap so ive taken it out and fitted my mp3 sony headunit , crancked the volume up and that sounds crap aswell not like in my mk 1 alhambra. ive unplugged the headunit speaker wires and noticed there is only 4 wires going to the vws iso fitting , so i have all 4 speakers from the front outputs if that makes sence , also it resets everytime i turn the ignition off , i didnt need an iso lead as the sharans loom just plugged straght into my sony set up , what can i do to get 4 speaker working on the head unit properly , has anyone else suffered with this , thanks
