So it requires connection to a power source, I'm guessing?

Mine has a 9 volt in the case...and if I don't want to use that. I use the terminal connectors.

hahahahaha! I was just going to use a small plastic spatula that I know will work. I don't bite my nails, but they are weak

Now I just need it to stop raining! Argh! I wish it was snowing instead of raining!

It is definitely a case of CYA for Bentley. So I gather that the UK has lawyers that like to sue at the drop of a hat, too?

I'm 38 had over 40 cars, never has a car i've owned been left as standard.

All this battery back-up stuff just makes me lmao
I've never lost a cpu or ecu memory yet and i've had cars on
lifts for weeks

[Moncier]

Blugg, I have! My radio froze up and my windows didn't work. I had to go to the dealer and enter the codes for the radio and the alarm! Seriously, cost my 100 dollars to do it! Yes, the windows froze! He entered a code on the window button and it made a beep and works fine now.

[Moncier]

Yeah, sorry for over riding the thread. lol...

Ditto on the thread jack

Your Bug's that side of the pond or indeed vehicles must be programmed differently. When my interior was fitted the bug had nothing left inside. Apart from the carpet. The battery was taken off. That was 6 days with the battery off. Everything worked fine after. Then the seats had to be taken out to put the thinner thread for the side airbags in. 3 days of no seats in the front with the battery left on. No airbags went off

I just can't believe folk go out and buy the devices. Then again i'm not calling you a liar

[Moncier]

That's what I thought, but I had the same problem on my 3000gt when I left the battery off for 5 days. I had to reprogram my turbo timer. So, I guess I've had bad luck.

[Moncier]

My turbo timer for my car! Came in today!!

[GlobalCarDealers]

What does it do?

Times your Turbo on how fast it blows?

[Cataspleena]

Today was the perfect day to work on my car! Sunny, no rain! andddd I got really lazy and didnt do anything. haha. I did order a replacement light for the side marker which is cracked though. Cant wait to get it.

I went to the mall today and parked beside a black 2.0 new beetle that looked just like mine. I almost got in it ,but then I noticed the tacky Ed Hardy seat covers.

Then at walmart a black jetta parked beside me which had the take 5 wheels. I almost stole them hehe

Sorry, I have no updates about Punky

[TennesseeBug]

Sometimes we need days where we do nothing. And for the record, I am NOT an Ed Hardy fan either!!!

That's what i do

I plan what to do to the Bug, putting the crap weather down as the reason i'm not doing any of it. First beautiful sunny day comes along, i'm out enjoying it

The Bug seems to get things done to it whenever it's cold or raining

[Moncier]

Yeah it blows! lol...you know what a turbo timer does!!! lol

[Moncier]

Well, it has been cold and wet here, no working on GiGi right now. I will wait! I'm gonna work on the Jeep though. Putting reverse shackles on, plan on doing some 4x4 action soon.
