Hi all

A few days ago I started my 407 one morning and the engine instantly stalled. After starting it again the ECU warning light came on and stayed on with a 'Depollution system faulty' message on the display. After half an hour of driving the light and message disappeared and hasn't come on since. A diagnostic check at a Peugeot dealer cleared the fault code but only pointed the technician to the fuel system in general, nothing specific. It's done just over 64000 miles. Has anyone else had this problem and had it fixed?... Read more

Hi,

I hope someone can shed some light on the problem i am having, i dont know what to do next.

The story so far.........I just purchased a 2004 A4 TDI Avant, the air con wasn't working when i brought it but i was assured it just needed a regas , this seemed plausible as the car had not been used for over a year. On the drive home i noticed the the Econ light would not turn off and assumed this was because the gas was low.

So had it regassed last week, the garage said it had gas in already but was a little low, i agreed to have it vacumed and refiled, i was hoping that this would cure the problem.......Alas it didnt.

Next i had it scanned and it showed a fault code G65 high pressure air con switch faulty.
So off to Audi for a new one, Bargain at only £55....Not! Anyway a small price to pay for the cold air i was expecting to pour from my vents.
I had it fitted today and still the same.....No cold air. The fault code was cleared and when re scanned there is no fault showing so the G65 switch fault has gone away and the Econ light can be selected on or off, BUT the air con still doesn't work and no further fault codes are stored????

I dont know what to do next? I cant afford to put it in the dealers, I am still skint from paying for the car. Anyone got any ideas as to what is going on?

any ideas appreciated......

Thanks

Hello there any advice appreciated.

I have been quoted 215 pound to have my gear selector cables fixed, with the part alone in excess of 100 pound. However reading online and it seems that either the cables snap of become lodged out of place. My car is stilkl driveable and at the moment the problem is only a mild annoyance. So my question is, if I can still drive my car would I really need new cables? Or, if you need new gear selector cables would you be able to drive the car? I have managed to locate the cables at a breakersand am going to get them on Weds for 20 quid. At first they said I would have to get them off myself so when I phoned them to say I would bring someone with me to help me get them off they said come on Weds and we will do it for you. I am now worried that they may be smelling an easy pound and may just give me any old bit of junk. I don't even know what these cables look like. Obviously it may just be down to something simple such as being too busy earlier on in the week or better staffing on Weds idk. Any advice is massively appreciated. Really don't want to be mugged off as am only getting this fixed to sell the car. Many thanks!... Read more

Has anyone any experiences/comments/thoughts about the AA Breakdown repair warranty scheme? I spoke to an AA salesman on the High Street the other day, the cost of the warranty (about £150 a year including AA membership) seems cheap when compared to other warranties I have been quoted (Warranty Direct - £300 per year). BTW I have a 2002 Vauxhall Corsa C, 86,000 miles). Read more

I have just bought a second hand Punto 1.2 8v for my son, a fairly sensible driver. It will now not go into gear, the gear stick has free movement forward and back but will not go side to side. It is possible to select a gear under the bonnet. Both cables look to be properly connected at gearbox end and underneath selector box. Any suggestions as to likely cause and cost of repair? Suspect problem at gear knob end. I am no mechanic, will need to go to garage. Read more
