I have a few problems that are starting to bug me and could do with fixing. I’m not very mechanical.
The CEL light has been on for about a year. Error code at service was P1166 = Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Sensor 1) Heater Circuit Malfunction (lambda sensor?).
The cars performance is unaffected as far as I can tell and fuel consumption is as normal.
I also have a developing problem with the gears. Originally it was getting difficult to change gear at high revs. Now it is happening at lower revs. Sometimes I have to fight to get in gear and occasionally have had a battle getting in gear when pulling out which isn't that safe. At the service (TDI North) they didn't report anything unusual (was a bit clunky changing gear but tegs are) and bled the clutch but it hasn't helped and is getting worse.
Finally my rear bumper needs realigning (and poss some paint work). Someone nailed the offside on a car park (tossers). When I came back it was hanging off. I have managed to push it back in but it isn’t perfect. I’m hoping it’s repairable but some of where it clips in was ripped apart.
Anyone got an idea whet the cel and gear problem could be and the likely cost to fix? Could this all be a job for TGM? It would be good if I could take it somewhere and get it all done at once. I live in the North West.
Oh....almost forgot. How much is it to get alloys refurbed/resrayed. Mine are wrecked with brake dust. Has anyone had this done?
