J_C Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I offered to lend shark my 80 TDI while his A4 is being repaired. Seventy-odd miles after he picked it up yesterday it seems that a niggling throttle problem it's had for a while got worse, leaving him stranded. We're not sure yet, but it may just be a case of me not explaining it properly, as the fault only occurs occasionally and there's a way round it - if you know how! However I should have explained it more thoroughly AND got off my arse and got it sorted before now And if that wasn't enough, apparently the AA were incompetent f**kwits on this occasion and it was hours before he got home. Sorry mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I've been batting southern enquiries your way mate! The 80's driving fine today, up to now. I was just bothered by a Check Engine light, which is why I decided to get recovered, with it not being my car I wish now I'd have just carried on and drove it after yesterday. 4 hours at the side of the M5 is enough to make anyone barmy.

shipy Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Well Shark_90 installed cruise control on my B7 yesterday, and did a great job If anyone is thinking about this retrofit, then I would defiantly get it done. [/ QUOTE ] Shark_90 did you use a new Ross Tech HEX CAN Lead or did you get away with the older type? Rgds Shipy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
