Hi,

Can anyone tell me which cable I need to get from ebay and if release 704.1 is the right version of the software to download?

Many thanks in advance!

i fitted the sensor to mines the other day and is running sweet as a nut. also the starting problem could also be a fault with the key (control unit disabled, sporadic). if it is that you are best to get a new key and remote part, which is around £80-90 + labour for coding. i fitted the sensor and...

Ok, cool!

Cheers mate!

I didn't konw if these issues related or not. It seems weird how it only ever happens once at the start of driving!?!

I have found that my car occassionaly stutters after driving for about 5 - 10 mins. It doesn't do it all the time and only ever does it once. It just seems like sometihng is sticking which makes the card jurk just the once then everything goes back to normal. I didn't know if it might be something l...

Nice one guys!

JJ, you might have hit the nail on the head, my car also doesn't start 1st time on the odd occassion!!

Cheers for the advice guys!

I've got it booked in to have the ECU codes read next week, hopefully the garage will be able to fix it on the same day.

It's not much fun driving a death trap around

Hi guys, My car has started to do something really dangerous at the moment where the engine just cuts out (just like you have stalled or turned the engine off with the key). It seems to be happening intermitently when I am slowing down towards a roundabout or junction. The worst part is that I loose...

Hi guys,

My car occassionally does this annoying thing where it refuses to go over 5,000 revs. It feels like the engine is cutting power to stop me from doing so.

I was wondering if any of you guys have ever experienced this or what the cause of it might be?

Hi guys,

I'm in the process of refurbing my RXII's and had a question about the polished rims...

Do I need to treat the rims in any way (I.E. apply a new laquer) or is simply polishing them enough?

I am just concerned how they will last if left untreated?

I've had a similar problem but it doesn't seem to have affected my breaking so I just ignored it thinking it's probably an electrical fault.

Mine has been playing up a bit aswell :roll: Occassionally the key will only turn so far as to turn the electrical instruments on but wont actually turn all the way round to start the car!?! I took it to a garage where the mechanic seemed stumped by the problem. He mentioned about the ignition switc...

I was speaking to some mechanics yesterday about the common fault with the GTi's gearbox.

They said that if it went it would be better to get a brand new gearbox than a recon as they are never as good.

I was wondering what those of you who've had the gearbox changed think?

GULP!!

I have a problem with my GTi where the key won't turn in the key barrel. It turns far enough for the elctrical instruments to turn on but it won't let me turn it all the way round to start the car. I did finally manage to get it to turn fully when I got a jump start which made me think it was the ba...

I think my car battery is on it's way out and wondered if anyone could recommend a good battery to go for?
