Its the seal in the master cylinder, the fluid is getting past it... slowly.

Ford technical service will still tell you to use the Ford 5/30 super plus (think thats its name) and will stand by any claims... my local Ford workshop man... who is very old and experienced says hes never seen a problem due to the wrong oil in these engines

You really need the crank locking tool. I bought a draper one off ebay... then sold it agan on ebay after use!

driving forwards at over 5mph??? switches them off, or the switch.. same as a mk 2

I thought the wires were insulated and became connected via the disc when worn?

The nav radio was a factory option and did not come with cd changer as standard, i bought one for mine and found i needed a new cable as the one in the loom did not suit either the radio or changer.

You only know is higher because of the monitor, its always been like that... on every car/van lorry etc etc.!

It isnt an extra bulb, its in the car software to switch existing bulbs (i have similar in a SMax), wether it can be adjusted i dont know, but doubt it.

What about the alternator pulley? when did they start fitting the freewheeling ones that later on dont freewheel and give those symptoms?

No ,you HAD increased power and fuel economy, bung the pipe with a ball bearing and refit.

Well done, its such a bugger putting a key in a door and turning it, had a kuga for a month while waiting for new Smax, it had button start and keyless entry, now it really is a bugger pressing the remote to open the door and the massive fiddle putting the key in to start it! PS in olden days unlocking the drivers door did nothing to unlock other doors!!!

Just a point, you cant have rotating seats with the seat multi media screens... wires and all that!

Have you tried reprograming it? ...see book... it may take a few goes before it works though.

Leave the belt tensioned, put small screwdiver into the alternator where the fan is, and CAREFULLY! test if it will move ONE way with a little resistants and not at all the other way, if so its OK, if it wont move without bending something it needs replacing... the problems only show on tickover usually.

The TDI badge has silver and red on it on the 130hp, only black and silver on the 115 Also should say in logbook ASZ1 variant and 96kw power
