Hi guys I have given up and put it into my garage they checked every thing that has been sergested on here vac lines turbo etc. turned out it was the maf sensor even though there was no codes relating to that cost me

Just had my car in the garage to fix limp mode problem that turned out to be maf sensor although nothing was pointing at that. anyway they gave me a list of other things that need doing and i would like some advice compressor pulley being the most concering to me. tyres close to leagal limit /easy get tyres replaced. brake judder noticed on road test /there was terrable brake judder when i bourght the car so i replaced the front disks and pads my self a month or two ago and the brake judder was gone but it seems to have come back not as bad but noticeable when braking at high speed could it be the disks again or is there something else that causes that. Is it a mot fail air conditioning pump pully in poor condition.the chap in the garage says there is play in the pulley and said it could be just a new pulley best case or could need a new compressor worst case /the a/c dosnt work at the moment no gas in the system is it likey to be the pulley is it easy to check and replace the compressor dosnt make any funny noises. inner cv boots need replaceing i new this and was going to give this a bash my self has anyone tryed these stretch on c/v boots are they any good aux belt needs replaceing again new this and was going to do this my self is this easy job i know on my old vectra the aux belt when round a engine mount and was a b##ch. and last but not least play in front top strut mountings ive seen on another post it is unlikely thay they are worn how would i check if these need replacing..is this mot fail sorry theres so much in this post but the quote ive been given to get all this fix is over

I took the large pipe off the EGR valve yesterday and there was black oily sluged over the flap that i cleaned off with a cloth dose the valve come apart or is wipeing it off ok.

Hi been under the car today is the turbo actuator rod the rod comming from the clinder bhind the turbo if so it has very little movement should i try harder to move it.. were is the n75 control valve is there any way of checking if its faulty.

The wife got back with the gal saing there was a lack of power and couldnt get over 50mph.. so I checked all electrical connectors i could find and that every thing else was ok took it out for a blast through all seemed fine plenty of power. vag-com came up with 17965 - Charge Pressure Control: Positive Deviation - intermitent P1557 - 35-00 - - I have cleared the code and so far it hasnt come back but have noticed some black smoke on startup and if i rev it. A day later she took it to exeter from hontion aprox 17 miles on a bypass again lack of power. When she gets back ill check the vac pipes what else should i look for... Its a 2002 mk2 1.9tdi 90bhp pd engine

thanks andy ive done a few cars in the past and have always found that as long as you rub down properly and use the correct primer you can get a great finnish you may need to tcut it in after the paint has set.. Ive got the paint code now if anyone needs it its cwfa cool white ...i have also seen this called alaska white.

Hi ive noticed when putting the passanger electric window up from the drivers side when it go's up with one touch it go's all the way up then drops back half way. If you hold the up switch it go's all the way up and stays there just wondering what i should start checking first.

Hi there When the belt was changed the first time was that just the belt, or the belt and pulley kit? if it was only the belt you should seriously think on changing pulleys and belt, just not worth chancing. If your really confident about doing this by tippexing and getting belt tension correct thats fine, these are quite roomy to work on once all the covers and mounting is out the way and visibility is good, but if you have any doubt get local help. hi i just had my water pump done at a local garage i also had the cambelt tentioners and pulleys replaced it cost me
