Nice looking motor.

And in my experience, if a car has had a colour change, it just screams accident. 9 times out of 10 you'll find the evidence in minutes. A mate of mine brought me round an Audi TT mk1 in Ibis White (non standard colour) he'd just bought so I could give it a once over and low and behold I took...

With the majority of these problems it takes less time to find a fault then do the repair. So I don't think time was even a factor in the decision to buy. Also he seems to be able to carry out repairs so "know how" doesn't seem a factor either. My personal opinion is that the buyer was...

Just read this complete thread and all I can say is "you paid money for this?" Did you even check it over before buying?

luckily the connectors are all pretty straightforward and only plug into each other in the correct way. They only use the spades because that's the most straightforward way to cover all H7 plugs.

How on earth do you think the ballast gets power??? The two spades plug into you original H7 bulb connector.... Seriously, did you think they're powered by fairies?

How to f**k up a car in 13,000 miles.

Why so serious?

So it doesn't sound like a golf??? Probably cos it's French.. As above check or change.

It came from owning plenty of cars that have had bird shite on for long enough periods of time to leave the same marks..... And guess what I've always managed to get them out. You on the other hand have offered f**k all advice.

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_172339_langId_-1_categoryId_165527 How about this? I'm a mechanic and know squat about paint and finishes.

The s**t is acidic so basically damages the lacquer. I've just T-Cut before to get it out but you might be needing something like rubbing compound. But don't quote me on that.

Says the guy who's upset about failing an MOT on a headlight bulb.. Brilliant.

If you fix all your own cars and others, why didn't you just fit a new bulb and be done with it... Your opinion on the matter is wrong so you've made yourself look a little silly.

b**ch please.....

Gotta be servo or the pipe cracked possibly.

Another pointless thread by every mechanics favourite sort of customer. Idiot..... Your car didn't meet the legal standard, yet it's your god given right to a pass.

Not straight fit.

Sounds like another train wreck in the making.

I didn't realise he'd tried that.... or I couldn't be bothered to read every post :)

Starter not lined up properly. Slacken the bolts off and do them up evenly. If not it's the starter at fault.

Love it!!! But can't honestly see anyone paying 25 grand for a saph when you can get an escort for that.

Another awesome car ruined. Lucky not much that can't be undone.

Considering all parts I know of come with a one year warranty I'm gonna say no.

That's why you don't get any codes. Because they only read the engine ecu. You need to find someone with an airbag specific reader. A Snap On or Bosch or even an RS Tuner with Airbag Module.

What did you scan it with? universal obd scanner?

Get her a bus pass.

SERV light is nothing to do with needing an oil change. It's because the airbag light is on. Check all connection to the bag. If light stays on try a airbag code reader to find fault. Most likely open circuit.

Timing belt is set and checked with locking tools. Seriously try a set of leads I've seen plenty in my time that have given the exact problem you're having. Arcing in the plug bore or generally not working properly at low revs.

And there's your answer.
