Hi Dave. you will need the radio code when you couple the battery back up. Beni

Similar problem on mine turned out to be prop shaft do-nut good luck. Beni.

your inconvenience is the last thing on their minds. Each time you take it in to them they will probabley keep it for a week. So you will more than likely stop taking it back. Job done they say, got rid of him. I used to work for a bent garage who employed these tactics. Hope your experience...

What do you want to look behind you for, youve already been there.

if everything was working before you started then the fault obviously lies with something you did wrong. Go back to base with the wires, take them all off and check all the plugs and pins in them for damage, and then start joining them back up with more observation. good luck, Beni

the only gasket is downpipe to manifold, no other gaskets but you could put a smear of exhaust paste on the joints just to help it seal. good luck, Beni

yes. not necessary in this country on these vehicles.

there is no reason why it should fail if its only the end of the tail pipe. I would put a chrome piece over it and get my monies worth out of it. you can allways swap it over when you do finally fit a new exhaust. good luck. Beni

now if you havent already done it, remove the cat and its even better.

dont forget the auto is heavier on fuel. good luck.Beni.

hi, if your going to do this bearing replacement, before you start taking the bearing out soak the circlip with wd40 though I always use gt85 much better. than tap all around it 50 or 60 times to let the lubricant get through and then make sure the wife is out of ear shot. Because as Dave says...

you dont say which model you have but if its a 300tdi when you take the pump off, also take off the housing that it bolts onto as there is a gasket behind it which could leak after you change the pump. this is what happened to me so I had to strip it again.good luck, Beni.

it sounds like the lift pump at fault or a small fracture of the fuel pipe so its pulling fuel and air. but lift pump sound favourite. good luck. Beni.

the memory thing was my problem too, I couldnt remember what I saw when I removed the water pump. It looks like I have everything I need to do the job so will have another go this weekend. cheers Beni

thanks for that, did you have to do any further stripping down to get the housing off. I mean like timing belt or anything. cheers.
