I bought this one:

 

http://electronic-fuchs.de/epages/e87b02f8-46da-4792-be6d-42392d89d882.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/e87b02f8-46da-4792-be6d-42392d89d882/Products/1000-80

 

then went to the MultiECUscan website to get a license.

 

Yes, you can see the faults then clear them if you want eg.

 

I bought it to clear the CEL warning that keeps popping up every time I start the car.

 

I think EA should be able to clear the codes for you too.

 

 

Hi, Brother. Thanks for your infor. I click on the link, it leads me to the web page which show the item called OBD-Protect-Protect interface and KKL interface for MultiECUScan / AlfaOBD - Electrolytic Separation. Product No : 1000 - 80 and Euro 59.90. Would appreciate very much you could let me know this is the item you have bought. Many Thanks.

for some reason.. my 2 crank problem disappeared..

 

But new rattling from either:

 

1 ARB ends

2. Suspension mounts

3. Suspension arms

or Suspension... :/

 

AND... despite having new fuel pump.. i caught whiffs of fuel from the rear wheel arch again... :(

All my suspension noise disappeared (or maybe too used to it now haha). The petrol still smells a bit though sealed before, but not as bad. I opened up the flap under the rear seats recently, still can smell. When it was bad the seepage can be seen under the fuel tank, not now though. The fuel pressure is very high inside the tank, can feel it when pumping petrol. Edited by Count_duku

Yes, I bought the OBD-Protect from electronic-fuchs.de.

 

I think the correct link is:

 

http://electronic-fuchs.de/epages/e87b02f8-46da-4792-be6d-42392d89d882.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/e87b02f8-46da-4792-be6d-42392d89d882/Products/1000-52

 

but seems to be out of stock. They might have other connectors that work with Multiecuscan or AlfaOBD for the 159, just send them an email to confirm.

Bros here with novitec exhaust, do you find that the exhaust sound is very loud in the cabin?

 

Did some research online and found a cheap fix.

I have a lot of exhaust drone coming out of the spare tire well.

As my wagon came with the tire repair kit, i have a styrofoam box in place of a spare tire.

There were empty pockets of air between the well and this box causing it to resonate.

Took a used towel and stuffed this area up and the drone is significantly reduced [:)]

 

Now i am beginning to enjoy the novitecs

Ah...my SW was having a lot of "road noise/wisssssing sound" coming from the back. Was wondering what is happening. Will try your method of stuffing towel in the back to try :)

 

Thumbs up for getting Novitec. Waiting to fix up my exhaust soon too :)

Icic

Thanks very much Brother. I have made contact with them by e-mail. They suggest me using products 1000-52 and 1000-22. They are giving me special offer prices of 44 Euro which include postal fee. I am going to send them the cash by mail once I got their address.

TS, I would advise against sending cash by mail.

Money order/cashier's order/cash cheque or paypal would be safer alternatives.

Thanks for the concerns of all Brothers. They only accept bank transfer or paypal. I would check with my banker tomorrow if I can transfer small amount of 44 Euros. I do not have paypal account.

Anyone has this melting rubber problem on the base plate of the gear selector? What is the solution?

 

I have this too. Still not too bad at the moment.

Will consider wrapping it up if it gets too ugly
