    Transmission Range Sensor error

    Ah ok thanks. Seems like it’s going to be a monster of a diy job. Best get a pro to do it. On the plus side, if I spend £1500 getting it sorted, that’ll take me to an even 10k in repair bills to keep it on the road!!

    Transmission Range Sensor error

    Thanks for the reply @northpole, appreciate your time. I’m a little confused though; is the Transmission Range Sensor faulting due to the Control Module? Is that definite? I’ve looked at the cost of the Range Sensor and I’m praying it’s not the TCM!!

    Transmission Range Sensor error

    Hi guys, When unlocking and opening doors, car is showing a Gearbox fault, saying car not in Park. The car is in park as when previously shutting car off, I’ve listened for the audible click when engaging Park. I’ve run a Carista check and have Transmission Range Sensor "A"/"B" Correlation...

    Creaking from front end

    Closing this thread off; I’ve now had the lower control arms, both front and rear, replaced on the front end. Had the ball joints done as well. Mechanic showed me the removed parts and whilst there was some minor signs of wear, we agreed that they didn’t really look dead. However, when driving...

    Creaking from front end

    Thanks for the reply. The video isn’t the best but you’re right, it’s a creaking noise…sounds like somethings ripping in half! Mileage is 79k, ish. It’s got me stumped, but to be fair I’m no mechanic…just have my experience to go on; but as it’s been checked and no issues 3 times (plus an...

    Creaking from front end

    Hi Forum, Looking for some advice please. I’ve got a very loud creaking sound coming from the front end. It doesn’t happen when running until I apply the brakes and/or turn a sharp-ish corner. It’s been through three different garages and had all components checked and nothing found as faulty...

    Dreaded AdBlue issues

    Sounds like we have different issues as no matter what codes I removed, the count down continued. Will wait to see what my troubleshooting finds!

    Dreaded AdBlue issues

    Indeed, but I don’t believe the counter can be reset, can it? I haven’t found anyone that was able to do that. Did you have it done?

    Dreaded AdBlue issues

    I’ve now spoken to a gent called Andy @ ECUFlash.co (yes, it’s .co). He’s sorted me with coding out the “no restart” fault from my ECU. So I still have the reductant error codes in the ECU, but I don’t have the forced “no restart” errors flashing up. The AdBlue system is still in working order...

    Dreaded AdBlue issues

    Ok, so ringing around (main dealer, indy-specialists, indys) it appears that nobody’s actually interested in doing a full diagnosis. Each one said the full system needs replacing. Am I the only one that finds this insane? There are multiple components in play; sensors, injector, pump, control...

    Dreaded AdBlue issues

    Well I made it back with 10mikes to spare. Tried to clean the injector but it was spotless! Too clean in fact. So on to ringing around garages to take the hit.

    Dreaded AdBlue issues

    ...wondering about the 650mile warning though, as that would be tank/filler/float related. I’ll find that out shortly though as I have a 400mile journey to make to get home. Something tells me I’m going to be sat on the motorway tomorrow with my hazards on…looking at one hell of a bill...

    Dreaded AdBlue issues

    Car went in to the garage to have suspension failure sorted, day after I get it back engine light comes on ‍:rage: Codes are: P06B1 - sensor power supply “A” circuit low P20E8 - reluctant pressure too low So great, AdBlue issues now! I’ve filled up the tank, and in my first drive today, I get...

    Creaking Noise - Front of Car

    Yeah I have the same. 2016 early B9 (which is actually still classed as a B8.5 according to my log book and weight plate!) Been the garage numerous times, had components replaced but nothing resolved it. Passed its most recent MOT as well. I’m just living with it now which is less than ideal...

    Traffic sign recognition using sat-nav?

    Hi Forum, Quick one; has anyone noticed their traffic sign recognition system seems to use the speed limit according to the sat-nav? Since the 20mph changes have come into effect in Wales, when I enter one of the new 20mph zones my traffic sign system displays 20mph correctly. But after about...

    Headlight Lens Replacement

    Thanks for the reply. Great tips. I’ve bought the “proper” butyl strip glue to use. As it’s my first (and hopefully only) time, I’m sticking to oem as close as possible! Also, the box and hairdryer is my method for removing the lens! I’ve got a heatgun, so will be using that for the heatsource...

    Headlight Lens Replacement

    Thanks Mate. I’ve done a bit of research and the theory of the lens replacement seems simple. Of course, the practical elements are so simple, but I’m quite handy with a sealant gun so… I’m going to have a go at a DIY repair. End of the day, if it goes sideways I have to get it pro...

    Headlight Lens Replacement

    Hi Forum, Discovered a lovely big crack in my driver side headlight lens this morning. I’ve just woken from passing out when I saw the replacement cost. Wow. Steep. I see that it might be possible to replace the lens. Has anyone done this, either themselves or by a company? Any info greatly...
