    some of the pipe under the clips does look a bit warn.....but its not loosing much water really
  2. Stoo the worm
    cool, that pretty much confirms my thinking, a second opinion always makes me feel better, thanks again.
  3. Stoo the worm
    cool yeah i changed it about 2 years ago, for a cheap one....so its probably that....im still unsure how it can get into the circular wiring block though. just sprays about i guess.
  4. Stoo the worm
    ok an update not this...i have had it not vagcom...and basically the lambda isn't working. but i think i have found out why its popping and banging every now and then.....there is water getting into the main wiring connector above the aux water pump....so i clean it out....drive for about 50 miles, and it fills up again.....etc. so I'm thinking a leak from either the aux water pump or the pipes going into it.....but I'm still confused how its getting in and on such a regular basis....!

    Also just noticed a split in my pcv valve...could this be at fault...?
  6. Stoo the worm
    Ok i have now disconnected the MAF....and there is no change, still does the same on start up...could this mean that its the MAF at fault..? it is now kicking up a fault - 00553 -Mass Flow Sensor.....which it wasn't before......surley if the MAF was at fault it would have shown this up before hand...!
  7. Stoo the worm
    Thanks for the replys guys... As far as i know its always been a manual... But I will get the ecu read on a mates laptop just incase. Regarding the MAF, I replaced that about a year and a half ago... So would it fail that quickly...? Will unplug and check for any changes in the morning. Thanks again.

    Hi, i am having some poor running issues with my obd11 96 vr6. When i start the car, the revs rise to around 2000rpm, then suddenly drop off, causing the car to stall on cold start ups. and until warm it keeps trying to cut out when the revs drop low. It drives pretty much normally, but then sometimes it runs like a bag of nails, popping and banging almost making it impossible to drive. I've scanned the car, and its kicking up 2 codes. 00525 - Lambda sensor (but has been throwing this up for a long time before these problems) 00268 - Shift solenoid sensor. its this code that i find confusing

    Basically, i want to change my standard vr steering wheel for a mk5 golf wheel... is it possible, as i know u can retro fit a mk4 one with some small modifications, and if so, how do u go about it. Thanks in advance Stoo
  10. Stoo the worm
    I know that this has been covered a bit before, but..i have just fitted MK4 polo rear handles to my 96 VR6...and guess wot, they dont work too well. they dont open the first time after it has been unlocked, unless u give it a little knock on the handle itself, once open u can shut and open the door as many times as u like, and its fine...until it is locked and unlocked again..then it needs the knock on the handle once more. I know that you sometimes have to bend a rod to get them working sometimes, so can anybody tell me which rod i need to bend, where abouts and by how much. Any help will be
  11. Stoo the worm
    cool...cheers buddy, that might be the best bet

    I have noticed that when some people fit performance induction kits and induction pipe, that they do away with some of the breathers and sensors that go between the rocker cover breather and the induction pipe.....so my question is...as im fitting a new induction kit, and trying to tidy up my engine bay....wot exactly can i do with out, and how is it achievable to loose some sensors without effecting the performance of the engine. Thanks in advance. Stoo
  13. Stoo the worm
    mine is a cheapish one, so maybe it doesnt read that bit.....i have a mate with Vag com, so will give it another try with that. Cheers mate
  14. Stoo the worm
    does it need to be with Vag com....as i have a hand held code reader and it brings up no faults

    Hi Guys....having a bit of trouble with my climatronic....as when i first turn on my ignition, the display flashes at me a load of rubbish...i have been told that this indicates a fault. After about ten seconds it stops and looks like normal, and seems to work ok. Does anybody have any idea wot this might be, and how to possibly fix it. Cheers
  16. Stoo the worm
    Cheers Tom ....this is great....will let you know how i get on
  17. Stoo the worm

  18. Stoo the worm

  19. Stoo the worm
    so which sensor would that be, as i think mine is a bit thirsty at the moment too
  20. Stoo the worm
    it could do with an oil change so will try that......not sure where the noise is comming from yet, going to look at the weekend
  21. Stoo the worm
    hi, recently i have noticed that my engine is making a clicking noise, which is almost like a tappet sound. does anybody have any suggestions to what this might be. oh and im hoping its not the chains, as they were changed about 18 months ago.....and apart from the noise it seems to be running fine.....?

    HI..this actually concerns my girlfriends cl but im sure its the same........firstly the drivers doorhandle seems to have failed, as i now cant open the drivers door with the key, to get in we have to open it with the passenger door....any ideas why this might be.... And secondly....to have a look at the mech i tried to take the door panel off, but i couldnt remove the window winder handle (i have electric on the vr, and comes off well easy..), so was just wondering how this comes off. Any help much appreciated Stoo

    cheers justin. i will try the green bulb trick, as i have tinted the cls with a translucent red vinyl....it makes it the same colour as the rest....it might have a slightly different result to the painted ones. Any ideas where to get bulb tint from, is it a halfords jobbie...?
  25. Stoo the worm
    I didnt think that you can get all reds anymore....hella used to do them....but are hard to find, and expensive. i also tried an orangy yellow bulb in but still came out red
