afaik the mk3 has to be programed with ford's ids system. i know on my smax the towbar fitter had this sort of setup and said he had to do this.

you havnt changed the batteries in the key recently have you??? if so youve lost the pats chip.

as above or see if your local scrappy has 1.

phew,1 happy camper now.:blink:

do a search on this,it is a common problem.it may well be in the faqs?

hi paul do a search on here about pats and keys,look in the faqs.

is it coded or cloned,when i had my mk2 they managed to cut my key but couldnt code it.

sounds nice,how about some pics?

you sure the noise is the tensioner and not the pully wheel?

welcome.

just a polite reminder if members are going to help out with codes please could they do it through the pm's. many thanks folks.:rolleyes:

do a search on the subject,start in the faqs.loads of info.

yep as above,what details are your car.

heat sheild??????????? Thanks lads. No offence Gregs, just me having a dig at myself, seems no-one understands my sense of humour - especially my wife!! :unsure: HUMOUR oh ok if you say so :lol:

doubtful,he was last here jan 11.:unsure:

welcome to the forum, for info you can check your own fault codes,if you have similar buttons on your steering wheel. my smax temp needle sits in the middle,which im assumming is 90 degrees.

Just checked, my 120A alternator 0123515014 does not have a one way clutch so eliminating that possibility! :unsure: well thats good then. i wasnt being sarky m8,just know how you are from the forum,but if as you say your getting OLD then i can see your reasoning. re reading your 1st post about noise,does it remind you of the aircon pulley noise? read up on it and see if it is??

well iirc the price for the pully is about right,but im sure YOUR quite capable in changing it your self? if you do i would sugest changing the tensioner aswell.

THEY DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE, under the sale of goods act you have 28 days to notify them of any defects on the car,they however must be allowed to carry out any repairs as neccessary. do a search on sale of goods act. forearmed is forewarned.do some research just incase this comes back to bite you on the arriss.they will do there upmost to give you excuses. hopefully whatever it is,is going to be a simple fix. bit of info, http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/sale-of-goods/your-rights-buying-second-hand-cars/second-hand-cars-your-rights/

is it under warrenty? if so take it back and get them to take a look.

does the noise get worse when the aircon is switched on? surprised your asking,your normally answering the questions m8. this must have YOU stumped.

whereabouts in the south are you,i have a pump in my garage.

swap the motors/switches,then recheck ALL the wires again.

have you followed the instructions about cruise in the faqs???

im sure this can be activated with vag ???????????
