If the CO and HC both pass then I can't see there being an issue with the cat. The lambda measures the oxygen so is a guide on how efficiently the engine is running. I am not sure which way the scale runs. I would say either your sensor is misreading causing the engine to mistune itself or you...

Personally I think it's a case you need to get the correct type for the driving you do. If you do short journeys for example don't get one with a DPF. Higher performance models have in the past had injector issues. I have a petrol but with a turbo. Makes it nice to drive with a lot more...

Burnerman, what would be your thoughts on getting the lambda sensor replaced first and then taking the car for a long blast along the motorway? Could the cat be sooted up do you think? I know if the mixture is too rich you get unburnt fuel in the cat which does kill them. The cat is by...

A sky+ box requires two cables for full operation although you can go into the engineering menu and change an option so it only requires one cable. This limits you to recording only one thing at a time and normally only done for flats etc where you cannot get a second feed. So ideally you need...

As ch427 said the VW dealers are replacing them. Its the same for Audi but with them its a standard replacement program. When the car next goes into them for a service or upon request they check the part number of the injectors fitted and if there are the model identified as being substandard...

No the dish reflects the signal from the satellite back to the LNB. You will be fine putting stuff behind the dish but best to keep the spikes within the shadow of the disk with respect to the way its pointing. That way if a signal does get picked up and reflected back by the metal it cant make...

If you have run those tests you are probably fine. UBCD comes with a whole load of utilities on a single cd. It can test lots of things aswell as having tools to securely wipe drives before reselling computers etc...

I would suggest going to http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ and downloading the ubcd software and burning it to a cd. You can then boot off it and use the various tool to run a self test on your compuer memory and the hard disk. Then you at least know the compuer internals are ok.

The car would have to be declared SORN to avoid having to pay tax and insurance. A driveway would be fine as long as it is not a public driveway. It would need to be private property. I don't know if a communal driveway would suffice.

I have a drill/driver set with a couple of the larger lithium ion batteries. One battery died after about 10 months but ryobi were very good and just sent out a replacement and collected the faulty one. I bought a angle grinder at the same time as it was on special offer at half price. You are...

My A4 have a recirculation valve instead which basically connects the inlet and outlet of the turbo together. I believe its vacuum operated. A split in the vacuum hose or a worn through plastic diafram in the recirculation value are common causes for poor turbo performance but depending how bad...

I have one of these which are pretty good at detecting bad capacitors. Often the esr starts to go bad before you really start seeing the capacitance change. An oscilloscope is good for looking at the output of the power supply. If the capacitors are failing it will either be the wrong voltage...

Probably a lower power led in the remote which probably has a narrower beam angle aswell. Your best bet would probably be to get a universal remote control and program that to control the humax.

Regular grease should be fine or you could use lithium grease which tends to be more water resistant. To move the pistons just loosen the cap to the brake fluid reservoir. You will need to push the pistons back but never try twisting them. They will probably have piston rings to keep...

Check the pad wear on the inside and outside of the disk and it should be even. If the pads are more worn on the side with the piston then the sliders might be sticking. A lot of the time it's the piston getting corroded and causing it to stick when it gets pushed back in further typically...

And your spelling is of course perfect :roll:

You consider it spam because he posted something useful?

The car would be too old to support the standard ODB2 diagnostic port so you would have to look for a tester specific for ford cars around that age.

What year is the car?

These are the most comprehensive manuals :- http://www.bentleypublishers.com/findMyCar.do?action=getresults&forward=index&make=Audi&model=a6&year=2000 Maybe a little more expensive and detailed than you are looking for though?
