GENERAL / 2009 FD SLX Front & Rear wipers operating at the same time
« Last post by Xbjoz April 16, 2024, 05:26:04 »
Hi All,

When I wash the front windscreen the rear wipers come on at the same time, as the washer motor feeds both front and rear windows (but reverses the impeller direction to feed the rear) the rear window always runs the wiper with the window dry.

When I wash the rear window only the front wipers don't operate. (the rear washer doesn't work but that's a separate issue)

Is there something I have actuated that I can turn off or is this some kind of weird fault I'm seeing?

I’m keen to know the answer to this and am hoping someone can help Chatu.

ENGINE BAY / MK1 G4FA - Accelaration pedal sensitivity
« Last post by Exelixis April 14, 2024, 12:34:35 »
Dear members,
Nice to meet you!
I write this message as i would love to read your opinions about what i am trying to find out. It's all about to get a more sensitive accelaration (gas) pedal.

I recently ordered a race chip XLR which is actually what i am trying to archive however i am very dissapointed as i realised that there is no any throttle sensor inside the car. This sensor is on the throttle body in engine bay with part number: 35170 26910.

I attach more images.




Thank you very much!

GENERAL / Did you buy enough brake fluid?
« Last post by BrendanP April 13, 2024, 19:36:37 »
I ordered a litre of Mannol brake fluid from an online seller recently to renew my brake fluid. On delivery, I noticed it was 2 small bottles which I naturally assumed to be 0.5 litre each. When I finally got around to doing the job, I noticed on closer inspection that they were 16 oz, 454g. It seems bizarre to sell a liquid by weight, not volume. After I finished I had drained 0.85 litre of old fluid and having emptied both bottles the level in the reservoir was below where it was when I started, so I don't think they contained any more than 0.8 litre.

Moral of the story is to check how big the bottle is before you buy.

Sorry, it has done 82,000 miles.
