  Strange feeling when testing foot in drivers footwell
Posted by: shabba - 27:th-Jul-2018, 19:53:48 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (1)

So when driving I rest my foot on the rest bar & every know and then I can feel the steering wheel through it (sounds daft but I genuinely can) the steering wheel also makes a weird sound occasionally like a piece of leather being twisted.

Only done this since a mate changed my oil filter by just jacking the car up & going in via driver side wheel.

Think he's knocked something?

More happy Chris Knott clients:

"Very clear information provided on which to base decisions, and whoever you speak with are always eager to help and overcome any problems. I have been with them many years." Mark P, TrustPilot

"Another reason why I continue to insure with Chris Knotts, they never let me down." Andrew G, Marshalls Jaguar Land Rover

"Good Experience. Just wanted to pass on my views of Chris Knott Insurance. After several hours as a keyboard warrior going through various comparison sites and filling out form after form, it was a pleasure to speak to a real human in the form of the helpful Kathy. Although they did not fully match the best quote I had received, they got pretty close. But the real human approach won me over and I have gladly paid a bit more. So, so far a very good experience."

  Electric trailer brake?
Posted by: Lansa - 26:th-Jul-2018, 20:17:53 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (1)

Howdy folks,

whilst toying around with opcom and my IPC, i discovered a menu called "Trailer brake"

It shows a 0.0 meter and "gain & output"

Is this something that came standard with factory towbars? Or is this an optional module?

How would it even work?



Could someone here shed some light on it please?

Thank you kindly Smile

Posted by: ollomatic - 26:th-Jul-2018, 18:21:29 - Forum: ICE - Replies (12)

Hi to all,

has anyone fitted a reversing camera to their Sports tourer?
I bought one on amazon that was supposed to fit but it did not.
Any hints or links to a camera that will fit the license plate lighting slot?

Any help is appreciated!

  V5754: Indicator sound not loud enough
Posted by: ollomatic - 26:th-Jul-2018, 18:19:14 - Forum: ICE - Replies (5)

Hello all,

does anyone have a solution for the almost unhearable indicator sound that the little extra speaker produces.

I put it right below the unit, right behind the cover and it still is barely audible when I'm listeining to music.

Is there a secret setting in the options? Has anyone replaced the speaker?

Any help is appreciated.

Photo Is this wear on the rod and crank bearings normal?
Posted by: i.rosca - 26:th-Jul-2018, 06:44:49 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (14)

Given that I have a 2.0CDTI engine (A20DTH) and that last winter I had the low oil pressure light pop up for a second or so when starting the engine in the morning, I thought I should replace the O ring on the oil pickup from the sump. 

After taking the sump off and removing the O ring I did notice that it was stiff and brittle and I replaced it. Since the O ring was so brittle I decided to take a couple of bearings off and inspect them and the crank. I've uploaded some images.

Can someone please take a look at the images and based on the damage advise what I should do? Thanks!
