Bikerz Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 so that pipe often splits?or why does it need replacing? cheers. il check mine in morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 its the heater part that goes wrong, just keeps on over-heating and blowing the fuse, puting the emmissions lite on as the same fuse controls the camshaft actuator and the charcoal cannistor!

Bikerz Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 i think mine may actualy be a problem. when the light comes on ut chugs twice as if the engine has died but it hasnt. only ever does it 2wice and only as soon as light comes on not while driving it, still sound like that lupo gti boy?

lupogtiboy Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 in ur case, no mate! it made no difference to the way mine drove when the lite was on, so i think you may have a deeper issue! sorry! possibly coil pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) got her back today they took her out for a road test about 10 miles they covered...... I drive 10 feet and guess what? light comes straight back on style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> ! 1 plus is they did something to the gearbox and it feels 100 times better than before they said they undone the gearbox mounts run the car for a few miles with them loose then tightened them back up! now they are sending a technician from there headquarters to remove and completely replace the engine management system! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Edited November 1, 2005 by Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
