Hi, At the weekend I took out the seats, (which is a faily simple job) and checked and reseated the connections but unfortunately to no avail. The connections and cables on both front seats were intact and in good condition. Does anyone have any other ideas?? Thanks. Ray

Thanks for your trouble with this, it all sounds a bit dangerous. I've done quite a few belts on other cars without problems. I can see the dangers of the belt being in the wrong position on any of the sprockets but if the new belt went back on in the exact position as the old one, ie if the the number of teeth between runs was the same as the original, then would that be ok or does something go out of adjustment just by virtue of taking off the old belt??? Thanks Ray

The one I have is the 90 BHP from July 2000. Is it possible to set the timing myself or would it be ok to replace the belt without doing this. I still dont understand why it is necesssary to remove this sprocket as I would have thought the timing would not be affected if the belt is replaced in the correct, original position without removing it at all. When you say VAC Com, I'm afraid I dont understand?? Thanks. Ray

I,m considering changing the timing belt on my Bora 1.9 TDi. Apart from a lot of dismantling it seems reasonably straightforward. When refitting the new belt the Haynes manual suggests removing the "fuel injection pump sprocket". Does anyone know why this is as I cannot think why this is necessary, as the timing would not be affected if the new belt was just put on with the sprocket in its original place. Are there any other problems to look out for. Thanks.

The airbag warning light comes on my Bora TDI 90, does anyone know the most common reason for this? thanks.

A friend of mine from Germany wants to get his sat nav working in UK and IRl. but doesnt have the CD. He has asked me to help but I know very little about it. It is a Multivan with a VW Navigation system MFD (whatever that is). He tried someone elses Teleatlas cd but it wouldnt work. Does anyone know if there is any setting up to do or waht is the correct cd to get? It works OK in Germany. Thanks.

I have replaced the pads on my Bora and am having trouble. THe fronts were easy but I had to dismantle the rears to investigate the working of the rear caliper. I did this by removing the piston from the caliper. I carefully reassembled everything but even after much bleeding of the brakes the pedal still goes to the floor with very little braking effect. Could air of got trapped in the piston assembly or maybe somewhere else? Any ideas would be much appreciated
