Now i'm a mechanic so I know what it's like to be on the other side of this story before anyone says anything, BUT... A friend of mine has a VW Sharan and it recently came a cropper with a number of electrical gremlins, he took it to a garage (i presume near where he lives...) who told him it would be a

You understand why i would rather be out in the rain fixing a car thats not even mine then kev!!! Anyways, we're all sorted, two broken wires - one in the o/s of the rear hatch (in the boot) and one at the battery connection. So the garage that he went to and got quoted

Hi Guys, Sorry about the delay in reply, I've been on holiday for the last three weeks! I'm going to start having a look at the car tonight (in the pouring rain!!!), i'll let you know how I get on, just to let you know I appreciate your feedback chaps! Cheers, Fraser

Hi guys, A friend of mine has a 1999 TDi VW Sharan (I don't know if thats blasphemous around here or not...!), with a fault which appears to be quite common on galaxies as well. He has: no indicators no main beam no interior lights wipers straight to full speed no rear wiper Now i've had a good look through this forum and got a few tips on where to start (i am a HGV mechanic, so its just the model that i'm not familiar with, the technical side i'm pretty good with!!!), so basically i just want a shove in the right direction. I've heard about the problems with water ingress under the passenger seat, but is there anything else that commonly causes this fault? So far on my list i'm searching for fuses 51-55, and a general butchers in the way of supply relays/modules, but i really am clutching at straws as far as locations etc are concerned. So any tips on locations, common problems or things to watch out for would be much appreciated, I just want to spend as little time as possible with multimeter in hand!! Thanks, Fraser PS I am assured that all fuses he can see are ok, but i don't have the car as of yet so can't confirm/deny anything at present.
