If we are talking about the 2L FST/TFSI engine then I would recommend changing the canister purge valve :D follow the pipe from the charcoal canister over the engine to find the purge valve, the valve looks something like this..... This looks like a non turbo FSI engine with the valve...

Could be the speed control resistor or the motor.

I`ve heard it all now! I know there is a credit crunch on, times are hard & its just after Christmas etc but go get yourself either a new battery or a proper charger before you blow your house up!

Engine light or glow plug/coil light will be on, faults are prob stored.

Its just basically an air duct to the air filter, its there to stop the engine sucking in warm engine bay air, not vital to the running of your engine but its nice to have it secure and not drawing in too much air :)

Does it start when you press the brake & start button at the same time? The clutch pedal switch wires are always snapping!

Timing chains are prone to jump on this engine when the tensioner goes floppy!

If the charging system is not sorted it's likely to be the alternator pully & not the alternator! The pully one way bearing becomes 2 way & the alternator does not turn. As for starting, does it turn over? As the engine wears & compression decreases the inadiquate starter becomes more...

You can stream radio through your ipod touch/iphone.

Thanks Sam, my plan was to replace all the electrolytic cap's anyway but a list would have been handy for pre-ordering parts, I have said TV now so I'll get onto it tonight, I don't think I'll bother with that group lol, they sound like a right PITA if they don't think you fit in lol Ta Paul

Hi, does anyone have a list of cap`s to replace on this PSU? Ta :D

The Flaremaster by Sykes Pickavant is a great tool! Good for flaring pipes in situ!

Renault Sport what?? Anyway, its deffo the coil pack :D

Astra H?? 2004 - 2009? It could be the starter, when the fault occurs you need to check if the starter solenoid wire is giving out a 12V feed, if it is and nothing is happening then its very likely to be the starter, if there is no feed when the key is turned (& its an Astra H) then it could...

Is there an option within the menu for Ignition Logic on/off? Try setting that to off.

There is likely to be a 5V comm line somewhere on the plug to the CCM as VW units learn their radio code from that.

Yeah, if it wiggles too much then its knackered :D Its probably a sub frame off job same as the Astra H`s on your Zafira, quite alot to take off but its not too taxing a job to do, bleeding the clutch can be fun but is often straight forward on Vauxhall`s, Renaults however are a different...

Supply voltages should be the same as any car but the live & switched live are reversed on VAG I think, just have to swap the wires around maybe :)

Cut a credit card into 2 strips that will fit in these highlighted slots, with a wiggle or 2 the radio should come out!

The glow plug light staying on does not necessarily mean the glow plugs are goosed! you need the faults read with a scan tool.
