Cleaned my new van, changed the battery and coded it in, enabled digital speedo and set lane change indicators to 5 flashes instead of three. Then put some alloys on.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
@ Spiderman, how old is your van? I never had to code in my new battery when I fitted one to my 2011 van.
Does yours have start stop or anything?
At least I don’t think it needed coding, I just put it on and it all worked as normal.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
My understanding is that in order to optimze charging cycle and battery life time you should code your new battery in. I dont think it has anything to do with start and stop function.
Anyway, here is a youtube "how to" from Ross-Tech

That is an entirely different type of coding

Today I started to convert my wheelchair converted maxi life back to a standard 7 seater.. Ramp is off and have plan to rebuild the floor etc back to level.
So far so good

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Changed my front passenger side wing which had horrible rust issues because of a previous repair (the arch had been welded from the inside) to a better used one. Now I can't get my front bumper to slot into the bumper bracket

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Had to top up my coolant, I suspect a small leak somewhere. Not much, just a couple of dL since I last filled before christmas. Any usual culprits I should check? Don't see any puddles anywhere, no white smoke in the exhaust nor residue in the oil so I don't suspect it's the head gasket. Water pump, maybe? I'm at 140km / 86k miles.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Had something very similar, turned out that the plastic inside the oil filter housing had perished. Replaced this and no leaks since.mac12 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:55 am Had to top up my coolant, I suspect a small leak somewhere. Not much, just a couple of dL since I last filled before christmas.
