surely this one should fit????   ebay always seem a bit daft when they see if its the right fitment????   wadya reckon??

thanks i will try that.......i have sought a few CV joints but then i find "its not suitable for your car" ?????   are they all different????

surely at least the diesels etc are the same ???

Hi ,when i reverse from my drive and have steering on full lock i get a  clunking noise coming from the front wheel area,when i drive forward and put on full lock either way i cannot hear a noise....i suspect maybe a shot CV joint but dont want to pay out until i am sure....are there any more checks i can do?? cheers in advance.

Hi, sorry.

2014, diesel, 75k miles.

Always used premium diesel. My driving is mostly local but in 2 weeks i start a new job where i have to travel 100 miles for 1 day a week which i hope helps. I also planned to sell the car anyway just after christmas once i renewed my mortgage anyway so the timing of everything isnt great but dont want to fork out £1600 before i sell it. Luckily so far its been 2 weeks since the light has been off.

TBH it sounds like your dpf cleared naturally by doing a regen like its supposed to do,i deleted mine and the EGR and had a remap so the lights dont come up any more,went thru the MOT ok......trouble is if i ever sell it i would have to inform the buyer.

So you would buy the car on that assumption, would you?

all depends on the cost really,i'm sure the tester gave it a good whack with a screwdriver and decided to put an advisory.....if it was any near that bad he wouldve failed it i assume.

shouldve ripped out the DPF innerds and Then got the lights deleted when having the remap.

sounds trivial to me....probably a bit of surface rust and a over zealous inspector

I was gonna get a new one (£35 on ebay) in the end i took it off completely and now no longer have one,i can easily bang one on if i change my mind.....super easy to do........evidently the design for these left a bit to be desired and it is a common fault....same one on VWs.....look out for loads with the wiper pointing down to the road😄......

Steering wheel full lock left ,then full lock right,then drive straight and that usually clears it,by doing the initial work on the car sometimes a host of lights are thrown up,have they tried just deleting the fault???

i drilled the steering lock out in the end,the ignition cylinder is made of chocolate and the actual lock is steel so i guess like mine there is  damage inside the barrel
