Hi jandrews123, I think you should do a compression test, if you have enough crankcase pressure to blow the cap off I would expect piston damage. Regards HMC

Hi precursor, Do you have an oscilloscope? If you scope the signal at the wss connector you may see individual reluctor signals dropping out, proving it is the bearing. If the signal is good and consistent then run temporary wires (overlay) to the ABS module and test. If that clears the problem...

Hi EuroX, Do you have the resistance readings? If so a bit of calculation with Ohms Law might solve your problem. Regards HMC

The full alignment should be done which will centralise the steering wheel, then the G85 is adapted to the correct alignment. Regards HMC

I followed that principle but now I forget where to look it up. :) Regards HMC

As an "older mecs" i agree with NZDubNurd. You have to understand that the viscosity is a comparison at different temperature's, if an engine is using oil/smoking, changing the oil spec is unlikely to help unless you go to an ancient straight grade which is not advisable. Regards HMC

Hi boneyxy, You should download all the information from Erwin, as I cannot be sure for vehicles that have the steering wheel on the wrong side. You might want to check Relay 3 on the J519 behind the trim under the steering wheel, also Relay D in the under bonnet fuse box in the plenum. Regards HMC

He obviously doesn't know about and has never used VCDS! VCDS will scan and log the data as good as, if not better than any other "scanner" on a VAG vehicle. Regards HMC

Hi boneyxy, A good look at the Power relay seems the place to start, does it have nbv on Pins 2 and 4, is it being switched? Regards HMC

You seem very reluctant to post an Autoscan as asked? Any particular reason I wonder? Regards HMC

As you have been pulling fuses, clear all the codes and take it for a run, then post a full Autoscan here. Regards HMC

He is Uwe! Regards HMC

Or you could just connect a suitable pressure guage to the pre cat sensor union, anything more than 3psi is restricted. Regards HMC

Time for a compression test. Regards HMC

What units, Bar, mbar, psi? What is the RPM on cranking? Regards HMC
