has anyone come across a cure to stop the wind down windows in the rear passenger doors opening themselves, every few days both have come down about 1cm another oddity of the galaxy i presume

i think you have to be registered and pay your fee to get all the modules to read, i think . i maybe wrong, on ours its the same just reads the main ones which is the engine codes.

i think its a matter of luck, ours had a stiff pedal and it did 4 years before the day it started to slip, of course it slipped just as we were fully loaded with 2 adults 4 kids and a load of luggage.

maybe try downloading the 311 version i found this worked also , i have both installed and usually one will work,

you can get the interface leads from ebay , usb types are poplular, around

swifty, that

ok thanks for that, just trying to do something so i can see out the patch of glass on the drivers side that the wipers miss

was in dealer getting a switch and saw this product . they said it was a much improved type if rainx the glass treatment anyone used it , they wanted

smeared every connection on ours with a silver grease recommended for rubber, just in case any air was entering via th efilter or poor joint, nothing changed,

ours is just the same, been over and checked everything, no codes ever show, changed sensors, filters you name it. even new starter and battery. no difference. i think its a qwuirk of these models. ours always starts , sometimes straight up and sometimes after a good cranking, it seems to take a while if the car has just been started and run for a few seconds rather than gone out for a run.

went to dealer today for a door light switch for the rear passenger door he got the slide up and then was lost. shows two that look the same but one is

had her 5 years today ! apart from thebusual things best motor we had, wife loves it,

something just come to mind, the fault said, unauthorized, intermittent, around a year ago i got a key cut with a chip in it, i have not had it matched to the ecu though, i did try to start the car with it but it started then cut out as indeed it should. i wonder if that was the unauthorized attempt. i have cleared the code and will check later. thanks

thanks for that big kev although we can get to the info we need to diagnose the problem, what do i do now i have it !!!! do i hope it dont happen again, do i go to dealers and let them tell me i need a new immo and new keys, i only got one black key anyway ! the fact that the car starts and always has it syas theres a fault.

hi all, i got vag com working, although it said interface not found i saved it anyway and hey presto it worked when the ignition was on. i found this page of fault codes that may be useful for the faqs. it lists nearly every code going i think told me i had immobilizer issue, i went to the immo module and it gave me 01176 key. dont know why this is , although sometimes it turns over a while before it starts the car has always started in the end. its said that if it was immo issue then usually car runs for a few seconds then stops. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/Category:Fault_Codes

i can open the programme now and click options, when i test the ports the one labled usb it says port ok interface not found i do this on the com 1 2 3 4 and its the smae, its as though it cant find the interface. i have re installed it but its the same i have reloaded the softeware from ross tech but still nothing. on my other laptop i plug it in and it finds the interface on the usb port straight away

hi all i have got a littel net book and tried to download the vag com, it did it ok i plug in the usb bit and followed the ross tech guide, when i got to the bit where you go to the hard drive vag com folder for the drivers when i click on the vagcom folder i cant get it to go any further, i cant copy the folder as it wont let me, so it wont find the drivers, when i typed the folder in it came back and siad there was nothing there for me to install. any help gratfully recieved thanks

just a thought, give the heater a thump with a rubber mallett, after a summer of non use or sat on a shop shelf it may need waking up, i kid you not, that what i did with ours and it coughed into life. other than that, you may need to check the wiring supply to the heater for power, earth, etc, when i had probs a few years ago, it turned out to be the power sire to the small pump that pumps fuel to the heater, they are under the car in a messy place, near the fuel tank, the wires can get corroded and break off, thats what ours had, reconnected and heater worked. they seem linked somehow so the heater wont fire without the pump and the pump need the heater to tell it that it wants fuel.

we had a very strong of fuel a few weeks ago, turned out to be one of the little injector lfuel pipes that link to each other, made of braided rubber hose, one had split.

relay 109 is around

check they actually fitted the correct plug, they should have paperwork to prove they got the plug in for that job, they could have fitted any glow plug that looked similar ! a lot of these garages have never seen or heard one of these heaters and know nothing about them.

did you clear the fault code 1st ?

why not simply remove the low temp sensor form the wiper link where its clipped on that will stop it altoghter.

i think they are filled for life, but i cou;ld be wrong, i had ours checked by the garage after 5 years and it hadnt used any.

beru gh001 is available from gsf car parts cheaper than the dealers this plug has one nut connector on top, some later models are fitted with a plug that has 2 wires embedded in it that you can only get from dealers. i think these were fitted 04 or 05 onwards on some heaters,
