can anyone tell me does a 99 reg tdi have this so called relay 30 ? . taken mine to bits as described in the forum but no 30 or 167 , there r 2 100s and a 185 . help please would really love to get the old girl running again . thank you

started perfect upto no1 valve let go . second hand engine in all my aux parts pump etc . car will turn over with wire to starter but not from key. no fuel getting to the pump when cranking over . just wondered if this relay stops all the electric from key-starter and pump in tank

hello have done the last hour reading about relay 30/27 . everybody says this is what stops car from starting , my question is does the car turn over when this fails or does it cut out everything ie no turning over . thanks

Perfectly normal, you are in trip "1" which resets after roughly 3 hours of inactivity - ie, your journey data. If you press the reset button (the one on the underside of the stalk) breifly, you'll move to trip "2" which wont reset. thank you

hello does anyone know if its normal for the trips and mpg etc to be reset on starting the car on a morning , it doesnt happen at any other time just first start seems to set back to 0 , all red lcd goes to --- 3 lines ? thanks john

thank you all , im not gonna get it done have taken all your views on board (thats why i love the site honest answers) thanks for all replies

Complete tosh. When car companies produce higher power variants, all sorts of things are changed or modified - cylinder head,valves,upgraded cooling, camshaft profiles etc as well as brakes, clutch etc upgraded. It is NOT just a software remap. Read the small print - remap companies ALWAYS disclaim all responsibility for ANY damage to your car. (They'd be fools not to and soon out of business) You do it entirely at your own risk. Remapping a little, light Fabia is one thing but a heavy lumbering Shalaxy that requires more power and torque on a constant basis is another. Enjoy your remap while your car survives. At 200,000 miles I expect you'll see it into an early grave. And if you do start to have "overheating" problems, then please don't sell it on to an unsuspecting person without telling them about the remap. read and taken onboard all replies , many thanks i dont think ill bother sounds to get a bit more involved than i first thought , but thats why i asked the question , thank you all for the help and my galaxy might live another 200000 miles with a bit of luck . thanks again Oh,...and do tell the insurance about it!

thanks for that have just sent a email to the one at scarborough , there site says no damage to engine through remap ? didnt you get yours done through them . did yours destroy itself through real hard driving , think might be a bad idea as mines done 197000 miles might be a bit tired
