try global closing if nothing else it will help diagnose the problem :wacko:

I think it reduces the amount of unburnt hc's in the exhaust by pulsing air into it so stops the cat being 'poisoned' allows enough oxygen for oxidation. and I think has something to do with cold starting

does it stay up if you use global closing from outside the car (overides the safety trap feature) if so then yes the safety overide is malfunctioning. Glass isnt tight in the runners is it - try some silicone lubricant (could be as you said 'it lasted a week' this time~)

Mattjr seems to be taking an awful bashing recently - is it absolutely necessary :D

folk may be able to help if you give more details e.g age/mileage - put your car details in your signature line - click on the red link in my signature for help :D have a look here or here btw - welcome to the forum :o

conversation must be fascinating - "the long winter evenings must just fly past" :o :D :o :o

thought that this was for the airbag :o :D

search for galaxy Ghia tdi 115ps or 130ps probably 2001-2003 in that price range

good luck :D

Could it be this Secondary Air Injection Switching valve ???

desparate guess - anything like this

if not protected by suitably rated fuses yes

good luck :lol:

I've heard this before, whats it all about? car lifted on the sills not the jacking points will result in the sill weld bending over - encourages corrosion later on :lol:

instructions and photos are in the faq click the link in my sig and its about 10 up from bottom :lol:

not indicated unless other signs are present - leaky air con is very common - poll on here indicates that half the peeps here have trouble, probably a leaky pipe, evaporator etc - glad the garage agreed to pay ;)

apparently - very heavy

IIRC its not as simple as pulling off the door and mounting another, I think the hinges need individually welding into place :) so wht are you replacing with - if new problably doesn't have hinges if secondhand the hinge may not be in quite the same place

Check your sills - from about 10m away look for any kinks

IIRC after 3 faults depending what they were eg Flameout which this sounds like, the ecu decides not to try anymore until codes are reset I suspect you need one of the uprated glowplugs and the fault codes resetting

what browser are you using ?

should get this screen - well at least this is what i see if you dont try clearing site cookies from the main screen

Probably none but extended driving will get the element dirty - might need careful wipebut for a short time I expect it would be alright. Older style hot wire type would be more sensitive to dirt I would think

you feeling a bit put upon Matt ?????
