Good morning Micko, Welcome to the forum , Switching on/off the brake pad warning is possible as some lesser galaxys come without that option. to do so you would need to use a licensed version of vagcom $99 dollers and would need a lead to connect to ecu then you would select. 17-Instruments Recode for warning lamps: [select] [17 - Instruments] [Recode - 07] Write down the existing coding for future reference. Enter 5-digit code from below [Do It!] Look at the first two digits in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the correct coding. 00 - No available equipment +01 - Brakepad wear sensor warning active However seems like a lot of hassle when brake pads are

Depends on, how big a tale you can tell :) :) :lol:

Hi danny, welcome to the forum, There's a couple of things to check. Air hose to brake servo isn't detached or pipe has hole check all rubber pipes for holes from manifold. Your timing out !....advance and retardation although electronic it adjusted by undoing the 13mm bolt holding the distributer so its loose enough to move but tight enough to remain in posistion when moved . 2 ways to adjust ,both ways you have phyiscally turn or advance . by sound .....or by using vag com software 4.09 (other versions don't give recommended settings in display) .when doing by software select engine then block 7 iirc and then select parimiters .

GENERAL RANT. Am I reading correctly ... Is my tire ok .... "Jesus has all comen sense gone" said 'rather loudley 'in a time where the word austerity appeares far to oftain are we really takin chances with safety ?? far too oftian are I'am hearing is Corrosion on brake pipe a problem or when should i change pads... Are we now so poor we take chances ..The factor is that petrol n' diesel prices are severley takin the piss we've as as a nation have got so used to being ram rodded with pacification and nulified with picture of eutopia thanx beckham's that we believe a song and a rabbits foot will act as repair's. Well hears the truth .. your tires fecked buy another ,HONESTLY part worn if you must . That beckem was born with a rabbit's foot & feck knows who own's the oil, but shes sitting pretty ......

Hi Welcome to the forum, The windows down is a venting system to allow you air your car with ease, however yours is stuck on... the micro switch for this are just outside barrel inside your doors . so unlock passenger and drivers door too see of there's any effect. if not check for broken wires behind rubber sleve in tailgate & front door .for starters.

hi peter welcome to the forum, Have a look at your engine stabiliser bar http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/m/m3fXGpPDLBJbPqzPoe4nXPg/140.jpg

Hi, check for broken wires in tail gate for reversing light problems first .

Hi seen this on a couple of times, the wires that connect to roof motor corrode due to moisture buildup.Try some wd40 clean my need to resoilder connector .

lol just check the small earth strap that goes from the NEGATIVE terminal on the solenoid to the Starter Motor Body hasn't corroded.

.....There isnt a lot of give on sensor cable if they forgot to unplug then possible wire has broken inside ....But thats a very school boy error and rare I would have thought. my money's on sensor packing up.

Replace Abs sensor there

Thats right nothing to do with mot . I take it you checked for broken wires under rubber sheath between door and A Piller ......

Hi there, The Loom going to the door is the same on all however the connections differ for lx,glx,zetec,ghia,x etc some have door lights,electric passenger windoes electric wing mirrors etc. Now and then haynes gets the colours for loom wrong this is one of those occasions as far as i can tell .Is there anything not working ?

hi kiethday37 and welcome to the forum, A couple of things to clear up ,If an abs Light is on the system automaticalley disables abs function so your car reverts back to old fashioned standard brakes making the car safe to get you home . To clear the lamp after fix drive over 40 mph or use vagcom to clear ABS fault. What usually happens when it goes wrong ; (for the benefit of people trying to solve ABS problems) The most comen failure is that the sensor has metal plates encased on plastic these rust expand and cause sensor to fail .The other problem is rust on cv joint where ABS ring breaks as rust expands. I think

It takes 30 - 45 mins to weld either side ns and osf then seal it .To Keep the costs down wire brush it to prep :) should be

hi as the crank sensor deteriorat's they can cause no start issues and poor idle pickup . however dying coils also cause missfires .. I would replace sensor first

iirc you use two spanners, one to stop ball rotating 17mm and 17 /18 to undo nut .some drop links use a 7mm allen key to stop ball rotating .I don't think it matters on drop link brand as long as wishbone rubbers are up to scratch and tracking isn't out ...

Thats right clip is part of shaft . Funny enough I changed a boot also today used one of those new fangled stretch boots.... Did my conan the barbarian bit to slide over bearing hub the wrong way round lol ..

2nd layer fuse box relay 53 iirc

crank position sensor maybe
