  1. Hi. I have the same problem. Anyone knows what the sensor is and how serious the problem could be? Thanks.
  2. Well I finally found the time and did the repair. It was quite easy although at first, afraid of overtightening the bolts, I untertightened them. The compressor still did its job but it was loud. Then I gave them a more vigorous tightening (previously they hadn't even reached the stop --oops!) and now all is well. I hope there was no damage from it. Thanks everyone. I still can't believe it was so cheap ($23 with shipping). Now on to the next problem: I have to figure out if something needs to be done about oil consumption (120k miles, uses 1qt every 400 miles). No visible leaks, so it must be burning the stuff.
  3. Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I found the rebuild kit for USD 13.91 (on 1stvwparts.com). It arrived today and I will be installing it tomorrow. I'll update the post with the results. Is the torque wrench absolutely necessary? I haven't got one and don't want to buy one just for this job... (BTW I got the "faulty" message while at Lake Tahoe i.e. high altitude. Hasn't come on again since I'm back at sea level, but I will do the fix anyway)
