Sure, but they're not cheap.

Cant be much more than the trip? Any idea of the damage?

I have a feeling it's around a grand but could be wrong.

The usual RS6 cost then!

Send the VB to 517 for $650 plug freight, but you might end up needing a new loom anyways. Both purchases would be peace of mind.

Why do you need a new loom? Can't it be repaired?

Post by **el_ringo** » Fri May 09, 2014 7:48 am

Id imagine it would be brittle after a decade in oil or damaged?

I'd want a look at it first. Anyone inspected their's when having the oil changed? Nobbster? You serviced yours if I remember correctly, did you inspect the loom at all?

A new VB is more than 2k IIRC.

Do what bam said.

Assume you meant plus freight ( took me a while to work that out). How long did it take for yours bum?

It was back with me in 2-3 weeks. I did have to chase it but I wasn't militant. Depending on how busy they were it could be a 10-14 day round trip. Its customs value was 20USD so maybe that sped things up for freight. Ensure it is packed very, very well. It's easily damaged.

I am told there is one gearbox fault code that has come up so would greatly appreciate any information / advise anyone can give me on the possible fault and solution to this problem?

Fault Code: 18243 Pressure Control Valve 5. P1835-35-10 Short to Plus Intermittent.

Anyone got any ideas what is causing this and what the solution is?

This is the exact same code as mines is throwing up :-/

My loom didn't seem bad, but I didn't mess with it that much for fear of breaking something.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has posted a reply, I will look into getting the wiring loom replaced, do you think it would be worth replacing the two solenoids or not? I take it that it is a fairly straight forward job to replace these parts or will it require a specialist to do?

Thanks again everyone for your help, hopefully this will sort the problem or should I also be doing something else?
