Hedgehog
I'm having the same agro with mine as well as trans failsafe etc. Could be related but my blower fan has been squeaking for months then started to really groan about 2 months ago. Doesn't run at all now but it's not seized cause I managed to get a stick up through the hedgehog cavity and it turns fr...

Ctek charger
Polarity correct. The mode button won't work either. It does the same thing on 4 different batteries so I think it's fubarred. I'm not having much luck with vehicle electrics at the moment.

Trans failsafe
Latest..
All the symptoms points to the abs module so I whipped it out today.
Bit tricky I must admit..
Anyone recommend someone who can test / repair these modules?
I've emailed a few from a search so we will see.

It had aftermarket quad tailpipes instead of the ovals.

Trans failsafe
Yes that's OK. I think I'm narrowing it down.. It can't be the ECU as the engine starts and runs OK. So that just leaves the TCM and Abs modules or something that they use for function ie wheel speed sensor etc. As the cluster also requires a signal from the wheel sensors that would point towards th...

Trans failsafe
Well it has crossed my mind but it seems to be ok on my stabber. It's normally left on a ctek anyway. What I have noticed however, is that my scanner can read the car when it's cold but after 30min or so when it's hotter it won't. Just this evening I've removed the glove box to check all the fuses e...

Trans failsafe
Here's a good one.. The 4.4 has gone in trans failsafe mode. I've had it at the place where I had the transmission rebuilt but he couldn't get his diagnostic to communicate with the car. I scanned the car when it was cold before starting yesterday to take a look. Only the ignition was on. This time-...

Although saying what I did I’ve just remembered our Cayenne that did that too. That turned out to be one of the flap motors which was an absolute pig to replace..

Ah. Just read your previous thread and you state that the hedgehog has been replaced. The only other thing I can think of would be a heater matrix blockage. Our L320 did that so I back flushed it and it was ok after.

My driver side doesn’t fold and the passenger side folds in but moves back out as soon as the key is removed.. Odd. One day I may repair them.

Severe vibration at 50 mph +
And check this out - the average mpg for the journey I’m doing at the moment has gone from 19.7mpg to 23.2mpg. Just shows what a dragging brake does.
