Tried calling them? What was the warranty period?
I would call and ask for advice on what to do. It's been 4 years and now you have a useless car. And what can they do to help fix this issue.
No fault codes i can see.
I just replaced mine as my MPG was around 23-26MPG and the computer saying 36-40. So better to replace it for the sake of £55.
They are a b**ch to replace tho
I find that what the computer says and what you get is two Vastly separate things.
Mine used to say 38MPG Average on my commute, And in actual fact at the pump on working it out it did around 23-26MPG.
i just changed the Lambda sensor on mine so hopefully it solves it.
Also if you can get...
Thanks peeps for the help with this.
An update:
Drained the gearbox and only 2L was in there!!!
Stuck 3.1L in with some molygrip stuff in too.
The lambda sensor was a b**ch to do!
But it's in! And next week will tell me if it's done the job.
Will halfords sell the 8mm square socket?
Also any idea on how to fill it? Would it be best to get a funnel and an 8mm tube from my local B&Q?
I will pop down to halfords and see if they have any 22MM Ring Spanners - Good shout there!
hey
I attempted to do some small jobs on the car today and failed.
1. Renew Gearbox Oil - Failed as i don't have a square tool to undo the plug... Wtf is with that? Also couldn't understand how it can take 3.1L when the filling point is only a inch higher than the drain.
Not to mention the...
Hey
Drove home withe the RS tuner running yesterday.
With the AC on the Engine coolant temp never went over 85C (well 85.68)
With it off the coolant temp raised to 105 max whilst i was in stationary traffic for a good 15 mins.
Is that an OK temp??
Im leaning towards a matte Blue, the second one looks good, the first one looks like a faded version of number 2...
But if it "In ya face" Enough? How about Matte Yellow??

I can get some 3M Car Wrap in that colour for...
im sure you can find a used gearbox for say £100 and if you can fit it yourself then its a cheap thing to do? Then send your one off for a refurb when you can afford it
Im just fed up with black, i was and wax it and the next day its covered in bloody brown dust.
also its getting random light scratches each day! so i want a colour thats not so easy to see is dirty :P
Hey
I have decided i will have my car wrapped in 6 weeks.
I'm yet to decide on a colour i want though.
I am tempted by a matte effect, but i feel it would just look odd?
Or a Random in your face colour such as Bright green or Bright yellow.
if you were wrapping your car, what colour would...
I don't know how you can mess this up tbh.
You remove it, take out the motor and grease the shaft and put it all back together
No more buzzing.
I will do a new guide for people to read later
