  1. Dim Dip resistor

    in I.C.E, Security an Electrical

    Posted

    Cheers Simon, thats a great help. Yeah i would like both beams to be on at the same time, this is because, being LHD lights the main beam is great but it dosent light the side of the road to well. So i was thinking on trying to keep the dip beam on to help with this. Other than driving with the fogs on (which is a big no-no in my book) this is only way of sorting this problem. So anyone done this??

    HI Guys/gals,

    Can anyone tell me where the dim dip resistor is on the vento( or golf for that matter)? As when i have the side lights on the angel eyes the main lights come on as well albeit very dim.

    Also whilst im on the subject of Angel eyes anyone know how to make the dip beam lights (outer lights) and the main beam (inner lights) come on at the same time? At the moment i have one or the other, im sure that it must be a relay link or something... Any help would be great.... !shy

    Thanks

  12. Sharan VR6 getting hot

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    When looking at the engine, whilst standing in front of it, it on the right hand side of the block towards the bottom at the front. It has three round sections, each containing a sensor. has a couple of pipes going to it.... Good to know where it is as these do start to leak when they get old. Hope that helps.

    But as mention it might be worth doing a coolent flush and oil change first, just to make sure this is fresh before you start tinkiering with the 'stats...

  14. Speedo problems

    Guess what...? Yep the problem has started again, which leads me to think that it wasnt the distance sensor after all. Any ideas, as it seemed to of cleared. I tested the wires/plug with a multi meter to check for broken wires and high resistance both where fine. I'm running out of ideas now... Any help would be fab... !shy

    Hi Guys and Gals,

    I've seemed to have developed a strange problem with the speedo, it occasionally starts jumping around then dies completely, then will come back to life again. Any ideas? Is there a sensor that controls the speedo, if so is it anywhere near the thermmostat housing? The reason i ask is this problem started afer i changed the housing.... :@ Any help would be great.

    Cheers

  21. Strange MFA Readings?

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted

    This is a tad strange, my VR MPG gauge is telling me porkies or my petrol tank sender unit is telling lies, either way something is wrong! Currently im averaging 27.5 MPG (according to my MFA) yet ive used 3/4 tank in 165 miles.... something is not right as that does not add up.... 27.5 x 12 gallons (55 litres) = 330miles x 0.75 (3/4) = 247miles. So it looks like im down 60 miles! *frown*

    Any Ideas *oh well*
