My start-stop doesn’t work then randomly when I’m driving the lights on the dash come on and the car loses power; do you know why?
Hi,
I bought a 2006 Skoda Octavia TDI a few weeks ago. So tonight in the dash there's a red light on and suddenly the steering is very heavy. I don't know what's wrong with my car. I checked all the fuses.
I have a 2004 Volkswagen Transporter van and it's shaking. Why?
There's a beeping sound while driving my Dacia that sounds randomly for a few seconds. What can it be?
My Dacia Sandero Stepway will sometimes make a beeping sound whilst driving but nothing comes up on the dashboard.
I have a 2015 Audi Q3 and it does not want to turn on the engine. It's as if the security system has activated a short current for the engine as everything else turns on. How can I correct this?
Good day,
I am referring to a question sent in by Ken Maher (Ballyger, Co.Galway) on 16 March 2014. He asked about a 2004 VW Transporter that had a vibration at about 2,000rpm when under power/load. I am experiencing the exact same problem with my 2007 Transporter T5. Was there ever a reason other than the CV joints?
I have a 2011 SEAT Leon Ecomotive SE 1.6 diesel and the stop-start system is not working. It seems to have decided to stop working and when I try to use it the message on my dashboard is 'start/stop is not possible.' I have checked the tyres and the pressure and they seem to be within spec. Can you advise what I need to do to get it back working?
Thanks

Done the pedal test on my dad's 2001 Opel Astra (it was running slow and drinking petrol) and got the codes p1122, p1120 and p1155; we were told these are to do with the car's computer and will cost in the region of €1,000 to replace the computer and reprogram. Is this correct or is it easily fixed?
Why does my engine warning light come back on after I got the two lambda sensors changed, which it said was the problem? My car is a 2003 Volkswagen Polo.
