Got the cambelt done so not to worry about it now. Will have a look at diverter valve and can follower in a week time due to work. What does sensor reference voltage A circuit low mean as that's the code came up with a diagnostic tool but car seems to be fine so can't figure out what it is. Had a look on Google but can't get much information.

I would recommend the GFB DV+ it is a little bit more expensive than oem but it works and it's reliable

I would also recommend a replacement filter if your not going to go for full on induction kit. I put a Ramair one in mine and seems to do the job

Shameless self promotion? Honestly, when I bought my car at first I didn't know where to start and the best thing I found was a similar guide from a member who was on here many years ago!

Good luck!

As the others have said, the maintenance stuff like check DV valve PCV etc. Mind and check the cabin pollen filter, under/behind glove box as it is often not changed and gets pretty minging!

Other good cheap mods are things like interior LED's, LED number plate lights, Stubby aerial, seat adjustment badge inserts...

More expensive stuff like exhausts, bumper/trim colour coded or even go for r32 rear bumper and exhaust, remap, air intake, get it detailed, upgrade engine mounts... depends what you want from the car...

There are literally a million things you can do to mod a car, have a look through the other members rides threads and see what you like and don't like.

What's the actual error code?

[moy24]

Basically it reads P0642 sensor reference voltage A circuit low

[bad devotions]

damn! i've had my car a while and never thought about the DV... :S clearly i doin't spend enough time on here! I'll have to make a purchase me thinks!

I think someone already suggested you go to rosstech wiki...

Anyway, welcome.  A bit of self reading always helps...

Here is the rosstech wiki page and your fault code....I would get the car scanned using a proper version of vcds (formally vagcom) and then clear the code.  Drive it for a few days and then rescan.  If the fault code comes back then start looking at possible solutions.  You'll probably find that it doesn't come back though....If you haven't got access to vcds that you know of then put a thread up where you are and if there is anyone local to you that has vcds and would be willing to help.  I have vcds and have scanned a number of cars locally, saving them £60 approx to go to a main dealer and get a 'diagnostic check'

HTH. (Hope that helps)

It's just cooked on with grease and threadlock. You really need the right tools. I had about 4 attachments on my spanner to get enough leverage!
