    anotherone is the gearshift knob(auto)poping up.. It brakes at the roll pin in the selector .to fix this you must remove the center consol and gear indercator cover, remove roll pin grease new plunger and spring (first remove knob grip by removing screw on front of shifter)the replace grip with new button and push roll pin back in took me about 45mins

    Hi,
    I've a got an ABS light displayed on my dashboard on my VT wagon, but brakes still work fine. does anyone know much about the ABS modules on these, and how i can test it or is it likely to be another fault?
    thanks

    Hi there all,

    I have a series 1 VX Wagon with the Gen 3 engine. The problem I have is the dash lights are all staying on, as soon as I start the car all the instrument lights come on.
    If anyone has any ideas this will be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Simon

    Hello everyone, I would like to congratulate the forum, it is very complete and organized.
    I think it has a differential problem in my VT, it seems that he has a backlash when the reverse gear engages. the other problem is the gearbox shift up at low speeds are a bit abrupt.(automatic transmission)

    Thanks a lot..

    Alessandro.

Is there a code check thingy like in the Vn-Vp? They have had the wagon at the mechanis and they cant find whats wrong with it.. They had the computer sent off to get checked and its good.. Any ideas?? Thanks heaps for the help..

    Another problem i found, is if your fat bugger like me, when u drag ur ass out of the drivers seat, the trim on the side of the drivers seat comes off(the screw that holds the front section pulls through the plastic).

    Hey All

    I have been trying to chase a vac leak in my VT 5 Litre in the aircon system (blows onto the front window at all times.) I have traced the line from the back of the manifold to the vac tank and then the switch under the glovebox. On a diagram this line goes to a heater switch (the heater does not work either, vac is not activating the heater tap) but I am buggered if I can find it. If anyone can post up the place of this switch that would be great.

    Thanks
