Hi everyone,I have been experiencing a weird clicking sound which is a lot like the indicator sound coming from around the dash/ steering wheel area/ fuses? not sure what this sound would be, could anyone shed some light on this and what I should do to correct it?  ________________________________________ stevenage black gti 6, 198bhp |

I've heard of this before, either one of the following: Faulty Relay Indicator stalk making constant contact (Vaseline inside the unit making electrical contact) If it's not them, i'm sure the other guys can give a better hint making me sound like a tard'  ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

easy. 3x t20 screws under the steering column shroud, remove the cover, 2 or 3x t15 screws fixing the stalk into the holder then pull it out, unplug and reverse. |

I've recently replaced the green and brown sensors on the thermostat housing waiting on the blue sensor to arrive at the moment No, not put vaseline on it lol, it comes out the factory with a lubricant on it to A: keep it moving smoothly and B: provide good electrical contact. Unfortunately over time the lubricant moves making contact with the other metal parts forming a connection... therefore making the clicky sound and sometimes making the indicator lights come on as Hazards. All you need to do is take it out of the steering column, prise it apart and clean it making sure the vaseline isn't spread across the two contacts. That should sort it, if not it will be a new stalk jobby! ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

The only thing i can say is after removing all the grease, put a smidgen of Vaseline on the runners (very tiny amount) so that it reduces the wear a little bit more. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!
