I just installed front parking lights in LED. They stay on for about 5 secounds and then turn off. I dont think I need a ”relay”? Typically you need a relay when you put LED blinkers instead of halogen, but I didnt? Is it a bad ground with the front parking light?
@NorthCoastWorkshop6 сағат бұрын
If they stay on for 5 seconds consistently then turn off I'd say that's the cars electronic system taking control of that.

I'm not sure on the other specs you listed, but as long as it states the 505.01 spec for your TDI, that oil should be fine to use. 507 would be for your engines fitted with a DPF which I guess the MK4 never had

Those are some good numbers. Congrats. Btw, do you happen to know how much tuning can a 1.8 TSI - 160 bhp take? I'm trying to find some solid info online but most ppl seem to be driving 2.0 ones. I was hoping, you might have heard something from the folks you spend time with and talk shop. Thanks!
@NorthCoastWorkshop15 күн бұрын
Thanks mate 😁👍🏻 And yeah the 1.8's aren't talked about as much and have limited mods available. A pretty much standard practice for a little extra power from any Turbo engine is a free-er flowing exhaust system, air intake where universal, made to measure, or adapted from a 2.0 and "made to fit", with a remap done on the car afterwards. If u have a reputable nearby tuner with a rolling road, they should definitely be able to get you a good few extra BHP than standard. There will be a limitation to what the internals of ur engine can handle, so if you are looking for big gains, a change of engine is the next expensive step sadly.

Hey Mark, yeah I've heard loads of issues from owners with the wipers not sitting correctly if they've ever been removed or replaced.

Just a word on the aircon, legally you have to be F-gas qualified to do a full re-gas, I assume the system was empty as the there are fines of up-to £60k for deliberately releasing gas into the atmosphere. I re-gas all sorts of vehicles for a living, and I re-gassed my Leon for the first time in 18 years of ownership in June, and in that time it had only lost 200g!
@NorthCoastWorkshop21 күн бұрын
Ah, cheers for the heads up 👍🏻 I wasn't aware of the F-gas qualification at all, so good to know. As for the old gas, I was going to take it to a nearby garage to collect the old gas from the system, but I checked the system quickly 1st with the gauges, and it was showing 0 pressure from the system. I double checked by removing the Aircon pressure sensor and briefly tapping the valve under it, and nothing was there at all. Possibly the car has had the pipes disconnected years ago, and it was never re-gassed afterwards. But thank you again for the advice. I will look into the F-gas qualification, if it's possible for DIY-ers to have??, if I ever need to do my Leon or the Kadjar.

Tried this on my 2015 Mazda 3 which has a 12v charger. I replaced it with the QC adapter and to my surprise - no power. I connected multimeter, set to 20dc and get no voltage. I know my lighter worked cause I had a regular dual USB adapter in there. Don't know why suddenly would stop working. Also checked fuses inside the car and on the one that comes with the QC adapter and they're good. Don't understand what happened when hoping for a quick and easy installation
@NorthCoastWorkshop28 күн бұрын
I'm not sure what has happened there. Something must have been disrupted when fitting the replacement QC adapter. Are u able to plug back in the old 12v lighter socket and see if that still works?

I managed to find what it might look like. It may be hidden under some trim in view of the front or rear window.
