Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Wiper Delay Function Problem

« on: 05 October 2010, 11:05:24 »

 Hi Guy's,
My '02 Facelift wipers have never had a delayed wipe function on the front (rear ok) so, as the weather has turned, gotta be sorted, right?
To start, briefed myself on the two Oof modifications available and got started.
Pulled out a relay (which looked way to small) from location K8, ordered VW relay  part number '357 955 531' actually received part number '3BO 955 531' from VW (part number superceded).
Plugged relay in and NOTHING, D'oh! Both speed settings still work.
Ah! check the rear wipe delay still works and pinch that relay (a known good unit) place it in the front position [K8] NOTHING, wipers will not even 'park' when switched to the 'delayed wipe option.'
I shorted socket numbers 2 & 5 [53E & 31B] wipers 'Park' ok.
I shorted socket numbers 2 & 8 [53E & 15] wipers 'Park' ok.
Basic wiring appears to be ok, run out of inspiration.
Recommendations anyone  ?
Regards,
Ding A Ling.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Disobedient CCR2006 Bose

« on: 24 July 2009, 10:08:43 »

My 2006 (face lift) Estate has a Radio Processor that will not behave !!! It just "searches" all the time and never 'locks' onto any Radio Station (unless you are parked under the Transmitter Mast). If you stick with a Pre-Tuned station then it will stay locked a little longer but not much. I figure that the Radio has a fault in the RF feed [eg: Aerial, Co-Ax Cable or RF Amp].
*) Has any one got recommendations as to where to start Fault Finding and How ?
*) Where does the Co-Ax Cable route and where is the inline RF Amp ?
*) Has any one had an Aerial failure, coz I've noticed that the Aerial is 'bent forwards' by the Rear Wing when you open the rear estate door.
Any one seen Dave DND ? [size=8]please[/size]

Omega General Help / Traction Control Warning Light !!!

« on: 10 February 2011, 05:00:06 »

Hi Guy's,
I need help on this one.
I have a Service Warning Light displayed [Car & Spanner] and I also have a Traction Control Warning Light displayed [TC], this display came up during the snow at Christmas and has been constant ever since.
The Auto Transmission has gone into 'Safe Mode' [ie. pulls away in 3rd gear].
I have cleaned / inspected both of the rear sensors and thier connectors / wiring.
I have replaced both of the front sensors with genuine Vx parts [I broke them during extraction].
[size=12]What the Hell can this be !!!![/size]
Anybody ??
