hi hope someone can help. when you press the accelerator pedal and let go the revs stay high then goes back down slowly to 800/900 revs i have read on here about trying pressing the brake pedel so i have tried this and it revs up till about 1300/1400 sometimes 2000 revs can anyone tell me how to fix this thanks Read more
cannot find any leaks at all,but when i push the brake it only goes to a 1000 revs but when i put it on the gas pedel it still takes a long time to go back to 800/900 revs
Can you help me i have a 335cd sport coupe 2007 i have had this car from new after 9000 miles i noticed the front offside outer edge of tyre wearing also the steering was a bit skittish. i went to my dealer i was informed the alignment was out. After the car felt a lot better i changed both front tyres. About 10000 later i noticed the same problem I took my car to a tracking specialist where i was informed my camber was out on the offside front i asked for a print out and took this to my dealer they said this was the wrong data for my car another wheel alignment was carried out. i was informed i had a sized track rod end this was replaced. i then had new front tyres fitted i still have the same problem wear on offside front outer edge all my other tyres have worn evenly over the life of the car. My last visit to the dealer they suggested it was my driving style and maybe i should try a different brand of tyres

You can check if the camber is the same on both wheels by standing the car on a perfectly level surface and checking the deviation from vertical of each wheel with a spirit level, if the angles are both the same the wear should be similar on both sides although that doesn't necessaraly indicat that they are correct. The nearside tyres normally wear faster than the offside.
We need to get a new (old) car and I have a number of preferences:

Tell her that Volvos have some of the most comfortable seats in the business (true).
I have just emailed the DVLA asking them to justify my £74 vehicle tax against my £30 car vehicle tax.

The first thing to note is that CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are the same thing! It's just that there are already two taxes on petrol and a third might make the golden goose squeak. So they invented a new tax thinking that thickos wouldn't realise this. Thus far, most haven't!
The second thing to note is that the theoretical CO2 emissions are meaningless. They are based on a sham drive cycle which is nothing more than a random number generator. Nor does the tax system take into account how the vehicle is driven, not how many miles it covers a year....
I was driving along at 60 mph and the Prehearing Warning Light appeared and the car suddenly lost power and lots of smoke came from the exhaust. The engine kept running but still lacked power. When i stopped the car it would idle as normal. When i pressed on the accelerator it is slow to pick up on the revs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

No, I don;t think so: looking at the website it seems to be a community forum.
I finally felt I could escape MPV world as my older teenagers don't squabble as they did as children. So I bought a 5 year old e class estate avantgarde 220cdi but I am disappointed in the quality of the mid rear seat which is uncomfortablly shaped for more than a 30 mins car journey, the car is great in most other respects but this is making me think I must change again.
I need plenty of luggage space as my kids will be going through university, and a comfortable cruiser as the first is now living 600 mile round trip away. I have checked the new Audi a6 and latest e class but neither seem great.
Anyone have a car they would recommend? I certainly don't want to go back to MPV land! Read more
It would be nice if the OP could come back to us and let us know how the decision-making process has gone.
The moral here is to take all potential passengers with you if possible to car showrooms and try the seats out - or at least to sit in the middle of the rear seats and see how comfortable it is....
took car out to town ,parked up,returned to car but it refused to start.8888 appeared on dash then returned to normal but car will not turn over.turn the key and nothing happens.any help as going nuts,checked fuses,diconnected battery then reconnected but still the same had to be towed home.thanks Read more
Does the engine turn over but not start? My cam sensor went and the engine died and would not restart.
If it won't even turn over, is any power reaching the starter motor / solenoid? Is the immobiliser disengaged (no flashing light above stereo)?
I am planning to buy a Skoda Octavia 2 litre diesel auto 140 hp Any comments please Read more
Why not, the golf has won the best in group for towing
I towed a 1333kg caravan with a year 2000 Audi with a kerb of 1550kg for 4 years, tow limit was 1500kg.
