Re: 1.6 VVT or 1.9 DCI

I've just sold my 1.6 worse car I have ever owned, but a mate of mine has the 1.9DCI and he loves it. I'd go and test the 1.9.

Re: Rear driverside window

Thought I cracked it but after fiddling and spraying the wiring loom with WD40, one day later on the way home from work I stopped at a junction and I noticed that the widow motor kicking in almost like a pulsing noise each time the window dropped a little. Then it stopped, I pressed the button and t...

53 plate 1.6vvt alarm

Hello all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to turn down a sensor on the alarm? when I lock my car up the alarm goes off totally at random. I thought it was when a lorry or something big thunders past it but its doing it more and more often.

thanks

When I had fixed the problem (coils) my service light went out after about 20 or 30 restarts of the engine. please see my post. If its the normal service I think you can just hold the reset button in for a few seconds.
