alhambra

Hello all, I have a 2001 1.9 Tdi Alhambra that has developed an overheating problem of late. Originally it overheated when on motorway journeys (usually when I was going uphill), however of late it can overheat on short urban runs. When the car initially overheated, I put the heating on HIGH...

Evening all, Just a quick post. Does anyone on here know where I can find the main ECU on a S plate Alhambra TDi? On the later models they are behind the battery on their side, but this one I'm looking at I can't find anywhere. Is it possible it could be under the battery tray? Don't...

Hi I have a couple of problems with my 2000, Alhambra that may be related, but not sure. The first is; the gearchange is really notchy when selecting any gear. The clutch biting point seems to start right at the bottom with the main take up being half way up the pedal travel. The other day I...

I just bought an Alhambra and the fan belt looks wrong. On the alternator the fan belt grooves are facing away from the pulley. The others look correct and the guy insist the dealer put it on that way. Is this right or not? If it is wrong can anyone give me a diagram of the correct routing.

When I select reverse, nothing happens. The selector lever moves into reverse but the gear does not engage. The car drives fine when going forward. Diagnostic performed by VW main dealer does not show any fault. My garage does not know what to do. The car is 5 years old with 100K miles on...

Does anyone here know if and when there will be a replacement for the current Alhambra? I thought I read somewhere a while back that there was one on the cards, but i've not been able to find any info about it. Thinking of getting somthing in the alhambra size and was wondering how soon the new...

Hi all. Just bought a 2003 SE 115PD for our forthcoming 3rd child. Have to say, even coming from a BMW 530D, I'm pretty impressed with it, but it does need a bit more shove. I'm a great believer in underpowered vehicles are less fuel efficient than higher output equivalent models (see 130PD...

Hi, I have taken possesion of an alhambra 1998 2.0 petrol auto, 88k Sometimes it just turns over without firing, if you leave it a while it'll start fine. I removed the distributor cap and rotor arm (which was just about welded on) and clean them up, it didnt look like they had ever...

OK I couldn't afford coilovers but here's my 02 Bamma SE on -40mm KW springs and shocks. Reckon that the SE suspension must be lower cos I don't think its actually dropped it by that much, but hey handles a lot better, just gotta see if the V6 antirollbar is any bigger diameter might be a...

Another wierd one - Sometimes about every 15 mins or so there is a strong smell of petrol vapour in the vehicle - this normally happens when stopping at traffic lights or junctions and all the windows are closed. When you pull away it seems to disappears until the next time. I have searched the...

Hi. I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a 1999 Alhambra TDi and I am unable to open the tailgate. If I try the key in the tailgate lock it locks/unlocks all the doors but still the tailgate won't open. Any ideas what the problem might be or if I can open the tailgate somehow from inside.
