Hi Are you sure the switch is at fault? common problem is a broken wire in the drivers door/rubber boot area.

I recently found the leccy windows had stopped working from the drivers side switch! After a quick look in the FAQ technical it looked apparent that a wire in the door rubber gaiter might be to blame. Again after a quick look and a bit of soldering it was fixed.All the information and soldering guide was found on here and saved me countless hours trying the switch on the door etc.Only last month I also fixed the Auxiliary Heater with a new heater plug, and reset it using VAG Com using information from here. So its just to say a big thanks really for everyone who contributes to an excellent site. Cheers Brash

Hi Fitted the new glow plug on my Gal 130TDI yesterday. Just over 2 hrs to fit and seems to cure the smoking problem like yours. Without the thread in F.A.Q I would'nt have tackled this. :rolleyes: Cheers Phil

Hi I've also had this problem since last year when my local garage replaced the fusebox but left the slightly damaged alternator cable.Ever since then I've suspected my battery was on its way out due to struggling to start on some cold mornings.I've since found out the fusebox is melting again so will be replacing the fusebox and alternator cable this time myself. Ford prices were

I've rejointed mine twice and replaced the connectors/pipe that runs from the boot into the car because of a split crap plastic connectors. I'll only use consentrated screen wash now.Its only liquid between -5/-10 degs but will hopefully help.

Great! Cheers,Got this job to do soon. Did the other side last year, and put the pics on here with a wright up. I'll continue to buy the O.E.M boot kit and take off the car now then. Well Done and thanks for the contribution/advice.

Hi I Don't know about the starting problem, someone else will hopefully be able to help.As for the rear washer jet not working I'd be very carefull about using it if you don't know where the waters going.I had the same problem last year and found one of the joints in the washer pipe had popped open wetting the passager carpet.There's some electrical gubbins under the seat that you don't want to get wet.The washer pipe runs under the passager side carpet(lift up the door trim and you'll see a joint),then another joint is above the nearside rear post(check again in boot for wet carpet) then theres a joint where the pipe attaches to the rear washer motor in the boot lid.These joints are crap plastic things and i've had 2 pop open now.They do snap shut again but if you've checked the nozzles are'nt blocked and these's plenty of water in the reservoir maybe worth a look.

Had to buy the the socket wrench to undo my oil filter cap last year

Hi I've just refurbed my own using the spare one at a time.Cost

Hi I know ideally a good set of ramps would of been the way to go, but the car was totally safe with 3 housebricks widthways under each front wheel.(Rear wheels chocked) As for the oil remover, I believe its well worth the money and i'll invest in one for next time. :(
