I replaced the 109-relay. That seems to have corrected the problem. There is no GP-light-delay when twisting the key any more, and it starts and drives nicely. Been driving it for somewhat more than...

I replaced the 109-relay. That seems to have corrected the problem. There is no GP-light-delay when twisting the key any more, and it starts and drives nicely. Been driving it for somewhat more than...
I see, but if the igntion switch is reliably closing relay 109, what else could it be failing to do? I don't know much about ALH ignition switches.
Yes, I've been reading about the missing GP-light. The GP-light supposedly indicates that the ECU is fully on. A failure of GP-light is usually caused by faulty relay 109, according to the DIY on...
Ok. Will the steering wheel have to come off to do that? I took off the plastic covers, and wiggled the contacts, without making any difference.

I also steel-brushed all the contact...
So, the saga continues. It started and ran without problem since my last post, up until yesterday. As I turned the key, all the usual lights came on except the glow plug indicator. The starter spun...
An old trick in such a situation, perhaps too old for your VW; this I don't know, is to fatten the gasoline with a few liters of mineral 2-stroke-oil. Old diesel engines will burn oils much heavier...
gldgti: Yes, I did. In the heading. ALH :cookie:
Edit: And I haven't been able to find the earths for anything but but the starter thus far.
Edit 2: So, I ventured out for a six km spin, after...
While waiting for the correct e-torx-tool to un-screw the crankshaft-position-sensor, my new VAG KKL-cable arrived. I pulled the following codes:
17958 - Charge pressure: Control Deviation P1550 -...
Well, too late.. I was rolling along three weeks ago, when the stick suddenly got stuck between third and fourth gear and a very telling grinding noise sounded from the front. I was far from home,...

Feenix 74: I don't know if the light is working or not. The service manual indicated an oil change about 10000 km ago, by memory. The guy selling it said he'd last put oil in it...
Hello again :). I bought me a Caddy; a 2002-model@155000 km, just over a week ago. It came with these errors: 1. The tachometer wobbles +- 100 rpm around where it is supposed to sit; sometimes more,...
Here's some better accessible youtube.video:

Front ball...
So, that begs the question: Is the ball supposed to be able to rotate inside its cage? If I put rubber around it, that might take up all the space around it, preventing it from rotating, like it does...
So there seems to be considerable play around the "ball" in the front linkage. It sort of looks like there is supposed to be a little play there. There is a couple millimeters of playat both ends of...
Edit: Sorry, double-post.
I took some video of the under-the-hood-part of the shifter-linkage:

So, I figured it matters if the play in the stick is side-to-side or front-to-back. Front-to-back is about 3,4 cm, and side-to-side one third of that. Does that point to a specific bushing having...
Does the load sensing valve need to be specified for ABS or drums, or will anything with OEM numbers 1H0612151, 1H0612151D or 1H0612151F work?
So, since I have two aft brake-lines, going to each their wheel, I figured I'd try and switch them before the load-sensing valve, to determine whether the problem is in front of it, or including it...
No, I haven't. I didn't know the option existed. I have a cheap cable that I've used to delete codes before. I'm not sure if it will do that job. What will this test tell me? In any case, the ABS...
Yes, Bora, that worked a treat. All gears, except for fifth, are decently smooth with this method, except for fifth, which I still may get the hang of with some more practice. That gives me time to...
Yea, I figure I have one. I just did new lines on it, and hooked them up to what I thought was only a load-regulator. Here it is:

Edit: It looks like maybe someone has been...
So, I've read up on proportioning valves in relation. My Golf has ABS with disks in front. Does it have a proportioning valve?
Yea. That looks like a job too. Have to get to from beneath.
h100vw: No, I haven't. I've ground off the edges, though. The system works symmetrically fine up till 3 kN, but then starts to differ. A drum can't decide to give less friction when something is...
