Some questions...on my 2000 B3 3.3 Saloon
1. I topped up the oil and the squeeking noise (like belt squeel) went away. After a longer and harder drive today, the squeel is back. Any ideas?
2. I dont think that I have heard the main fan come on since owning the car. The car engine gets very hot and stays hot for a long time, but the temp needle stays put in the middle of the range. Any ideas?
3. The CD changer 6 disc will not come out and the radio in the car is stuck in a strange mode. No sound, only the consumption per mile (which would make greenpeace cry)
Update - I reasearched this fault and it seems that removing fuse number 7 and 41 cures this. I did this and hey presto - Fixed - but only for a short while.
The CD changer had no power - but this was due to the power connector being broken. Does anyone know where i can get a new connector from - like a black plastic connector with three wires going in?
What is the single wire and does the CD player need this to work? Is it a fibre?
4. The wheel centres are difficult to get on. I dont want to break any keys. Any reccomended ways to get the centres on?
Update - I have snapped a key. All keys have the same serial number - but not all keys open all wheel centres. Where can i buy new keys?

It seems like you may have a mismatch of keys and locks? Sytner Nottingham should be able to help. I have recently used this company below and received great service although some other members might be able to provide you with details of a UK based firm
