Hi if i were you i would take out the clocks and check the bulb in there, it could be a blown bulb or someone could have removed it as it has an airbag fault, this does come into the mot now, since jan 1st 2012.....

hi thanks for the replies chaps, will have another go tomorrow.......

Hi first things first you need to find the water leak, the car wont run properly with a leak, if you cant find a leak the only places the water can be going is out the exhaust or in the oil, if thats the case unfortunatly its a head off job by the sounds of it! Alternatly just keep topping it up with water until the problem gets worse so that you can pin point it that way.....

HI all, can anyone help ive just repaired a 1.9 tdi galaxy with accident damage most of the airbags went off, ive replaced everything apart from the airbag ecu, does anyone know how to reset it and turn out the light, i have access to VAG? thanks

or try to turn it off using vag-com if you can find someone with it!

hi if you cant repair it the only option is to replace it. get one off of another car including the loom or at least a good part of it so that you can join all the wires.... i would try a bit harder first though to repair the one you have, if you break it you break it, it can always be replaced

hi yeah the loom comes as a seperate loom that you can plug in , if you look at the front right hand side of the head you will see where the main loom attaches to the one in the head, it is the one in the head thsat you need to replace, you will need to remove the exhaust manifold to get to the bolts on the back of the rocker cover off, and its pretty easy to change once the rocker cover is off. from memory it was about

does the compressor kick in or not? if it does not then id say its low on gas.

i take it the noise is on gear change? what gearbox oil does it have in it? i changed mine to dexron 2 and that was about 2 years ago and its going fine.....

Hi i had this problem and turned out to be the injector loom in the head, think i had to remove exhaust manifold to get the rocker cover off as there are bolts i couldnt get to at the back. fitted new loom and job done,

hi the fault was a dodgy speedo sensor in the gearbox, the one that controls the speedo on the dash.

Hi just make sure the gears dont crunch and it comes with service history and you should be fine with the mk2.... ive got 2 of them

I agree i wouldnt put one on my car but they seem to sell alot of them. Mainly to boy racers i expect. The reason the egr valves are not on all the newer engines is because they dont produce all the nitrogen oxides that the older engines do.

Hi the air leak on the pedal sounds like the servo has got a air leak, mine does exactly the same, its been like it a year now and has got no worse, when it does i will change it. as it is the brakes are fine and ive got no probs but it should be changed really.

Hi if things are working ok why mess about with them, the pd engine is a good engine, if you want to speed it up a bit why not try this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200418387005&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123 ive not tried it but basically it works by altering the signal between the ECU and fuel temperature sensor. The ECU thinks that the temperature of the diesel is hotter than it actually is (88deg c) and adjusts the fuelling/boost and injection timing parameters let us know how you get on........

hi there the best way to do it would be to remove the drive shaft, put in a vice and knock the old joint off then replace with the new one, remember not to do the splines in by hitting the end of the joint back on, use a copper hammer or place a lump of wood between the hammer and the joint, good luck

sounds like it could be oil pressure to me but try the pressure sensor first, ive got a friend that has not had much luck with one latley, hes now on his 3rd turbo as keeps loosing pressure!

id take it back to the nice chap that did the head gasket, i always fit new belts and tensioners plus waterpump when im in there, it shouldnt have snapped at the end of the day. did he warrant the work done? you should be able to tell if it was a case of dropped valve or not when the head comes off! good luck

hi, thanks for the advise it is a manual, i dont think its any other pipe as when i place my foot on the brake pedal it goes quite?! ive got a spare servo from my 2002 1.9 tdi ghia galaxy which i scrapped unfortunatley. so ive not got to spend any money, just need to fit it in around the mrs and kids......

Hi all ive got a 1.9 tdi 2001 servo that hisses like mad in the car and i think the time has now come to change it. ive only taken them out without the engine being present in the car at the time. can any one tell me if there is an easy way of changing it or is it a stressful job? and how long it takes? thanks for looking roy

Are they in good nick? I.e No tears, rips, fag burns, split stiching, or broken mechanism? If so you will probably get around

Hi all, ive just had to scrap a 2002 ghia tdi with leather seats ive got them and the door cards with leather on them, does any one know what they are worth? thanks for reading......

i agree the resistor will be the problem, its the same on most cars

i would check out ebay for a second hand one, ypou probably can get it refurbed but is it worth it, i dont think a 2nd one would that expensive.

did you check the ball joint, ive also had one in before and it was the drive shaft nut coming loose...
