Re: Rust in roof rails. Price to respray roof. £1400?

I had small bubbling on passenger side near the back. Luckily managed to get it done under 12 year goodwill. They didn't take any glass out but did need to order a new rail insert so be prepared for costs creeping. Would rechallenged the glass removal. GaryA. We’re you still inside 12 years when yo...

Re: Spare key fob won't open car via remote

Mine key fob is experiencing a similar issue. It stopped locking / unlocking but the key still works for the ignition. I attempted changing the battery, and after doing so, the red light doesn't flash. I haven't tried a reprogram but I believe the key fob light should flash regardless of programming...

Re: Stalled - and won't restart

When you finally find out what codes the car is throwing you can compare them to mine. Here is an example of the codes I was throwing after the car wouldn't start and I had to bump start it. Note this VCDS hit was taken before my MAF problem developed. The big takeaway from my mechanic were all the ...

Re: Stalled - and won't restart

Hello, It was an indie. The starting for me was totally intermittent and would happen very infrequently, the odd time it happened I was able to bump start the car. So when I took it into the shop is was starting, but the car was running horribly as the MAF sensor wasn't working properly and the indi...

Re: Stalled - and won't restart

Good Day, I had the exact same symptoms, but I also had my MAF fail shortly after, so below is a summary of what my shop did to solve both problems. My mechanic said that 4H0 951 253 2 Relays (Fuel Pump and Engine Sensor Circuits) was causing the failure for the car to turn over after an in-depth lo...

Re: Rear Grill TPMS

The rear honeycomb definitely pops off, and somewhere on the inter webs there is a DIY that walked me through the process. If I could go back though, I wouldn't bother with getting the system up and running. Having to deal with sensors that crapped out on me has proven to be more irritating than che...

I'm at 107K on the original clutch. I may be starting to show signs; however I haven't done much research on signs or symptoms.

Re: i pod connection

Hi Dave,

I have attached the pictures. The wire harness is wrapped so I'm not sure if I can answer your pin question. LMK if the pictures help or if you need more info.

Thanks

Re: i pod connection

I purchased the OEM iPod adapter. I tried fitting it to my RNS-E but I wasn't sure what to do with the two brown wires in the wire bundle. I'm looking for some guidance as the instructions were not very helpful.
