I have SEAT LEON 2018 tdi recently changed water pump and auxiliary . Straight after got error (P16CB00) heater supporting supply voltage, garage ppl tried 4 days couldn’t figure out . Now I don’t know what to do 🤯. If anyone knows how to fix this issue please let me know that would be great full
You can check with a meter which is fine, but the bulb also proves that the circuit can carry current ok as well. A corroded wire in the circuit would make the bulb dim or not light.
Hi mate I’ve the same car only issue when car is turned on and the stalk is still on the off position the rear wiper will still operate for 5 seconds then stop already tried a new stalk any ideas where I could start?
Great video, got the intake fault code on my R56 and wondered could I use a multimeter to check the output (but of course I don’t have the display you do). Thanks

Hi ,I had same fault code stored with my Motorhome, your video made it so easy to order the replacement part as you show the part in the fiat box, new part now fitted fault now sorted many thanks regards
Hi! How to reprogram a bcm to remove code u1000 u3000? (Ranger 2016, headlights issue). Ford wants me to change the module but I’ve seen it can just be reprogrammed.. no one does it where I live. Thought of learning to do it. Thank you in advance.
THANKS !!!! I had the same fault code and could not find the physical item, all the info on the internet pointed me in the wrong direction. Thanks to this info I was able to fix it. But I have still no clue what it actually is. I do not believe it is a heater. If you search for the part number you see all kind of wrong names for this.
hi great video.i suspect i have the same issue could i not just remove the fuse and that should stop the drain,if i do that would it stop it from immobolising from the keybob,thanks
Hello. Nice video by the way. The hole where the sensor goes in is full of thick and caked oil. Is it okay to put a new one in or can this be cleaned out first.
I did the resoldering and the engine malfunction message disappeared. But the check engine symbol is still on. Does this mean I have another problem? The car is no longer in limp mode. Do I need to delete the fault codes or something after doing the repair to get rid of the check engine symbol?
for me, the dashboard lights don't work, the gauges light up and the display but the numbers don't. then after a while they flash and turn on. Could this problem be caused by this error?

Thank you for the useful videos. I have a question. Everything works in the car, but the roof cannot be opened. Only the engine works without reaching the rear cover and the roof.
maybe a stupid question but im just learning about key programming so bear with me....can you use the keydiy super chips and the xhorse universal smart keys with this machine?
I have had to perform this fix on the wife's motor. With this guide, it was effortless but for the need for a magnifying glass. The usb microscope makes it seem like it can be seen without some kinda magnification but I found that my camera had a macro mode on it so I used that to identify the cracked solder joints. All I did was reheat the joints with a hot tip and used a tiny amount of solder but anyone can fix this with a cheap solder kit and this guide. Brilliant video, thank you.
Hi, I am having similar issue sith my saab for 4years now, and i have changed a total of 4 ac compressors in 4 years, each time I have the mechanic install a new compress the ac comes on blowing cole air but it doesn't chip out when it suppose to stop, it just continues to run continuously and that cause the compressor to burn up each time because its running so hot without chipping in and out. Can you tell me what could be the issue for the ac compressor not chipping in and out? Could it be some type or sensor gone bad?
What tool did you use to measure? I'm having same code. Did timing chain, replaced solenoids and replaced intake cam sensor. Still the same error code. My fear is if it's damaged groove or the Vanos gear itself. Sadly, the mechanics nearby cannot or not willing to properly diagnose this issue. Any help would be appreciated
