I have the same issue with my C200 Kompressor from 2001. How can I be sure that the MOSFET is burned? The flap is never moving, it is always opened. When running diagnosis there are 2 faults only - Camshaft Position Sensor - no message and MAF Sensor fault. I checked both faults and sensors seem to be fine and also voltages and current going in and out look good. Is there a way to be sure it is burned MOSFET before doing any disassembling of engine's ECU?
Hi Few days ago the blower stopped to work. Then a minute later worked fine again, the again not. Today i have changed the blower fan, but the Symptome is the same. What do you think, what can be wrong?

I have installed this chip on a Passat 2.0 TDI, and I have been playing with its adjustments, but now I no longer remember the initial settings it came with. Is there a way to reset it to the original factory settings? I am referring to certain turns of the screw to its maximum, and then adjusting from there.
My Pop starts well in winter but not so good the rest of the year. I've had it checked at the garage, they ran a bunch af tests and came back fine. I want to sell it but won't be able to with this issue. The tip you suggested for winter, i figures this out and it worked for ages but now it doesn't work. Any advice?
@@Fern_Young so this is quite good timing as I have just filmed a blocked breather pipe issue which was causing a oily smell in the cabin as it touched the exhaust. I have now a rectified this down to a blocked broken pipe, which caused a lot of oil around the throttle body. Have a look out for the video coming up soon
Thanks for the video.đ. I have an intermittent Limp Mode on my 2002 c220 cdi. Any ideas?
pull the codes is the best place to start. Diesels typically are prone to DPF blockages / EGR's sticking too.

Dyno it before and after ? I suspect it just makes your car overfuel or nothing at all . I have a mk8 civic also I'd be interested to see if it's actually doing anything at all . Reminds me of the chip things we all used to put in out mk2 escorts etc in the 80's đ have a good week ... tony
The 80's !!
@@GrooveOn I realise it's unrealistic to dyno it , and basically a waste of money but I'm still sceptical as to it making a significant difference but I appreciate your videos, keep the good work going ... tony
The mk8 civic does feel extremely sluggish for a 1.8.. I'm thinking of getting one honest opinion is it worth it?? Keep up the great videos I'm a big fan of the mk8 ones as I have the same model but in Milano red

hello mate, what else had to be disconnected? i did the nuts and bolts, pin and clip and also the clip for the wire loom on the side, but the assembly wouldn't come away from the activator bolt. any advise appreciated :)
@@handsolo1982 did you undo the 2 bolts that holds the rod mechanism to the frame?
@@GrooveOn yeah, they are kind of chunky with washers on. in your video, there is a bit of the chassis of the pedal assembly that looks like a handle with holes in, was there anything around that that needed disconnecting? mine is the diesel model so im wondering if its slightly different
@@handsolo1982 if you go to 3mins in my video I remove the securing pin, then the pivot bolt and finally those 2 long bolts
@@GrooveOn yeah I got them all out too, all the bits you showed in your video was easy to follow, other than all that was there anything else on the left top part of the assembly that needed to be removed? I have a feeling I'm missing something simple, I'll have another go later or on the weekend
I'm struggling same way with 2010 diesel . I don't think I've removed the pivot bolt yet though. I'll try that in a bit
Hi! I found this video and followed the exact steps. I ve changed the mosfet and after I reconnected the ECU the car it's not starting. The dash lights comes up, the key connects and works, but when I try to start it doesn't do anything. It was starting before I removed the ECU :)). Any ideas what could went wrong? Thank you!
What size are your rims
they are 19" staggered with spacers
My '06 mk8 radiator fans come on regularly. Kind of used to it now. To be fair my temperature guage never falls outside of that normal position so I just assumed it was the norm.
@@darkstranger1970 so one of my kind supporters explained that he had found the same thing on his Honda Civic it's actually part of the design. When the AC is on the radiator fans will come on pretty much all the time. However when the AC is off then your radiator fans will behave more normally and only come on and very hot. My car like your car the temperature always sits nicely just below the halfway. So what I've learnt is there was nothing wrong with the temperature sensor it was merely the design of the car.
â@@GrooveOn That makes sense. Great channel đ

I had a 2011 1.3 and these cars mpg was fantastic..I bought a 2018 Auris Hybrid 1.8 but my god do I miss the mpg and practically especially the rear seating areas of the Civic..Great car and reliabilty well in the 10years I had it only thing apart from the consumables was a battery!..my fault because I left lights on!-...

Great video. Thankyou. How did you manage to remove the retaining clip? I've removed the 4 nuts and 2 bolts as you advised, just that annoying clip. Thankyou Take care Kev
The clip is a sling clip arrangement and has a hook that you pull back, it's tricky at first but just pull the spring apart slightly

If the Aircon is on the radiator fans will run. The cabin fans are connected as when you switch them off the Aircon also stops. The fan speed "cabin "needs to be running for the Aircon to work.
@@philcodd5030 that is so weird, I've never seen that before thanks for the info. I didn't think people ever turned AC off, especially in winter as it's so useful for demisting the windows. Thanks
Re 3:26 my 06 civic 1.8 did that with the fan, from what I know when I was on the civic forum they all seem to do it. I also found it odd.
@@sametribeeverytime2 yeah, someone has just messaged me to tell me that when the AC is on the engine fan also comes on all the time, so you have to turn the AC off. Strange

Excellent "How to video". Really good. Extra tip - Remove the clutch pedal first (as shown later in the video) Mine was impossible to remove without. Possibly due to a larger wiring loom in the way.

I have a 2005 SL500. I got the same check speed sensor for the front right wheel ( US passenger side). I'm going to replace the sensor but am having problems understanding the way to access the wheel-side sensor connection.

Procedure was done on injector 4 , everything was smooth, but.... now when i checked what code was writen to system - now shows 2 codes on injector 4 .

Good video, but do the CR PRO or the CR Max have ALL the functions which the car brand specific V3.0 version has? I read some reviews from buyers who own Audis that the cheaper Icarsoft VAWS V3.0 could perform activation tests, injector codings, adaptations and air suspension management, while the CR PRO and the CR Max could not. Someone mentioned that the PRO and Max were limited in memory, hence the cheaper V3.0 specific to a brand can do more because it uses less memory than all car brands together. You seem like a smart guy who could check that out, could you please see if this information is true? You got my like for the video, if you get back with verified information I will subscribe for more. On a side note, the CR PRO + seems to have more functions. Would it be better than the Icaesoft VAWS V3.0, functions wise?

At the 18 minute mark, you are indicating that a small gauge wire will reduce the current. That is not a good thing. Fuses are used to protect the wiring (and devices) from overheating and resulting in a fire. The overall size of the wire does not tell you the actual wire gauge, the printing on the side of the wire insulation does. If you are using a fuse that comes with wires attached, the wires will be the correct gauge. Never connect a smaller gauge wire to a larger one. Larger gauge indicates a physically larger wire, but the gauge number will actually be smaller and vice versa. For example, a #10 gauge wire may be rated to carry 30 amps, while a #18 wire might be rated for just 5 amps. To be sure, search on-line for "wire gauge chart". Thank you for reading.
