Sooooo, after booking my car in for the recall coil pack check, I picked her up today and look at what they did for FREE!! :shocked:
- Changed all 4 coil packs.
- Checked all tyres, all between 4-7mm
- Washed my car inside & out inc hoovering my carpets.
- Free VW air freshener on the mirror
- Free fluid check & safty check
All for FREE! :D
not bad eh? :)
-
I'd hope that they changed the coil packs, the wash will have ruined your paintwork and the rest will have been looking for additional work to suggest that they carry out. Bar the air freshner, that's a bonus :grin:
-
Whenever mine goes into VW for work I always, without fail, request them NOT to wash it. I've seen one of their technicians drop a sponge onto the floor which he then just picked up & put straight back on the bodywork, didn't even rinse it in the bucket (not that it makes a bit of difference!).
They do the rest to try & find some work to stitch you £70 an hour labour charge for, not out of the kindness of their hearts!!
-
technicains washing cars? doubt that highly lol
-
Well to be fair the wash was abit crap they left my car very spotty so I had to redo it lol they did say on there safety report that it's due a belt change I was like bollocks it had one 2k miles ago lol
Althou when I asked how much they would charge to to scan my car an tell me why my car is giving me the two error codes as in rather than me throw money trying to rule out each bit here and there they told me for £60+vat they will tell me exactly what is causing my error codes and what needs replacing to fix it do I'm abit temped
-
Scrap that mate put petrol in your car and get up Aberdare il scan your car for free!!
Or save yourself £50 and buy a cable from ebay with software to scan your car and clear faults :cool:
-
£60 lol
They wouldnt know what the codes mean anyway.
I know one chap who was told he needed a new ECU. turns out it was a faulty cam sensor. Replaced that and it ran fine ever since
-
Vw in Cardiff are a joke.
Welsh VW in Barry/Sully are absolutley brilliant to deal with.
Rhyso sorry I didnt text bk yesterday dude was a busy day :sad:
-
Well I got VDS lite and an eBay cable when I scan I get two error codes one is something about bank 1 running rich and the other one is the famous turbo pressure blah blah check DV!!
Mad thing is I've checked and tryed loads and still the errors are there. It's had new mag, new DV all boost pipes I have checked even taken some off, fixed the secondary air pump new coil packs full service only other things I'm thinking is injectors? Or even a pip split that I haven't yet found
-
Thats exactly what VW will tell you mate, waste of time.
Get the actual codes up on here and we will have a look.

Im getting.....
17545/P1137/004407 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1 (Add): System too Rich
&
17705/P1297/004759 - Pressure Drop between Turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!)
As above so far I have...
- Had new coil packs.
- New Temp sensor.
- New Termo
- New DV
- Full major service inc belt & water pump
- New MAF
- Repaired the faulty secondary air pump (thinking of replacing it)
After doing ALOT of reading, it could be a number of things, injectors, Boost leak in a pipe I cannot see, Boost Pressure Control Valve (N249) faulty, N75 faulty, dirt thorttle body (doubt it), Fuel Pressure Regulator faulty, Lamba sensor faulty.
As you can see im at the point where i could spend a good ammount of cash o id rather find the error and apposed to trail and error lol

17705/P1297/004759 - Pressure Drop between Turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!)
I also got this code and I found a split Y pipe under the engine cover. I'd take a look at some of you boost pipes for splits mate.
-
Ditch all the breather pipework and install a catch can.
Your pressure drop code is most likely related to a pipe with a split you cannot see as per the post above
-
OKie dokie I'll look into a catch can when im paid, could someone tell me exactly what I need to order to do this mod please?
Also on the way to work today my car cut out Twice!! but restarted afterwards only light of the dash was my batt light it was worrying once when i slowed down at the lights and other was when I slowed down for a roundabout. both time happened when i dipped the clutch :huh:
Heres a random question, can you do a throttle body allinement using VDS lite? cuz im thinking of cleaning my thottlebody you see but mine is the eletronic one so it will need realligning.
-
Take throttle body off, clean it with carb cleaner or similar.
Put everything back on,
Turn key but dont start,
You will hear the throttle body whine for about 20secs,
Leave it until it stops,
I done this twice and then start.
The whine is the throttle body aligning itself.

And thats the eletronic TB not the Cabled one right?
-
Id assumme its the same thing tbh mate.
You still hear the throttle body on both engines aligning itself.

Check the pancake pipe for leaks ,especially the small join one :smiley:
-
Yeah youl have the crappy "c" clip pancake pipe.
I have 2 spare AGU ones that uses jubilee clips if you want one cheap IF yours is leaking.
-
Thanks Jamie, I did check that big pipe last week but not the small one, i read this might be of some help to you lot? makes no sence at all to me.....
EDIT: BTW this is just at idel and just to note my idel was runnign a tad lumpy too so where you see the - figures sometime it shows in + figures too.
