  1. Ive not had that residual pressure when ive had sensor issues. I think it may be the airbag 😞 Thing about sensors too, is that you do need to get good ones.
  2. I had this, here's the thread...
  3. Look at the thread above. It will be the useless plastic teeth problem ... Goo luck
  4. My ACC has died - scan says no signal. Has anyone had any experience with refitting these things, and then the dreaded calibration? Also, I can't seem to see where to take the front off to access it without a lift.
  5. ODBEleven...It's fantastic. It's solved many problems, and also allowed me to argue the toss with the garage!
  6. Can you hear the pump? Mine gets blocked. Pull it off an stick a pin in 🙂
  7. Have you scanned it and made sure it's not just a sensor?
  8. The garage changed it - but it shouldn't need coding.
  9. Haha, we don't have those new-fangled food delivery services here 😉
  10. OK, they've called - it is injector 5 - they are going to replace, but have warned me it could be either a straightforward job, if it comes out no bother, or not if it's seized in. They are on a 3 week lead time at the moment - and they've given me a....Nissan Note for the runaround!! 08 plate, can't go into Glasgow with this either! LOL
  11. Fingers-crossed, though I've just received a text to call them 😞
  12. Ahh ok. It's in the garage now...they are scanning and checking
  13. Hi Jason, no - none. I just monitored the engine whilst running and got outputs outside what all the other injectors were showing...
  14. OK, I am already depressed by the thought of the cost of this, but any insights may help me. So, I noticed a lack of power when I put my foot down, the car seemed to take a bit to kick in. Turbo cleaner in a full tank... I had also noticed a tapping noise when starting cold, goes when warm. Checked the oil, all ok. Then I scanned the car and there are readings well out of synch with others on injector 5. So injector cleaner in... Now, the car started misfiring when I started it up. On idle it juddered - 1.5k revs all fine. Read up a little and realised you have to sit with fairly high revs for a bit. By now I had booked into garage, as they have a 2 week lead at the moment. Started it yesterday and sat with high revs, all seems fine. Started it today to drive to garage, all fine - but the tapping is back (it's a cold day in Scotland today), and by the time I had drive 3 miles to the garage - all is well - I could accelerate well... However, the garage say they no longer "do engine work" - it would be sent to Audi or to Border Engines in Berwick should they find a problem. So - any ideas? I am dreading the cost of replacement injectors, or even worse a piston slap issue, or timing chain. It's at 116k miles, so maybe it's that. Bah
  15. I am an idiot. It's not your bearing, it's your caliper. Sorry. Giving out bad info. It's my age and memory 🙂 or constantly fixing the !Removed! car! To check, when it makes the noise, just touch your brake and if it goes away it's the blumming calliper Mine kicked in when going slower. In villages and setting off. Intermittent I agree. Had it twice from the front end both times.
