mez2002 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Hi All, So I purchased my first 51 Alhambra this week, was going to buy a Zaffy but the maximum tow weight according to the specs was 1050 kg - neither use to man nor beast!. I tow a tin tent, which I suppose makes me an old F**t; well if the cap fits wear it. Anyway, hello to all members out there, I have a million questions, most of which have been answered already by browsing the forum. Hope to post more when I've had a bit more driving experience with the vehicle. Will update my controls asapCatch you all later. Quote
mumof4 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 mez2, well done for not getting a Zaffy and getting a Bamma instead. :P , our resident Zaffy boy just saw the light and got rid of his. :) Be sure to read the AUPs and the trainee guidelines if you get stuck when you try to post somewhere and cant. Most of all, enjoy your stay with us. :D Quote

mez2002 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Posted March 30, 2007 Hi All Got my Bamma back this evening, I felt stupid last night at the checkout paying for fuel for the loaner ( Quote
mez2002 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Posted March 30, 2007 Is there any way of checking if the aux heater works other than waiting until ambient temp drops below 10deg and engine starts from cold? The garage that I purchased my Bammy from said they replaced the heater with a s/h unit (see previous post) How did they check that the heater worked if the temp was above 10deg? I have just been out to the vehicle tonight, ambient temp feels below 10 (good deal of condensation from breath) started engine and did a short journey - no sound from aux heater and still cold to the touch when I checked it. Am I being sold a load of bull by the garage just to get rid of me? I have been unable to browse the faq or do a search yet, presumably because I'm a newbie and have not got the required number of posts yet! Any advice would be well appreciated. Thanks Ian Quote
jkspoff Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 The best way would be to VAG COM it, it would show a 'flame out' error or the like, as it did on mine, find someone with vag com, or get a cheapo cable off ebay. It may be that the fault codes need clearing for it too, once again as mine did, worked fine ever since. Quote
