Re: Change connect language

The navigation CD is the only way to change the language. The internationalization files are loaded from the CD when the language change is issued. Is your new laser head really new or a used unit? Do you have an original CD or is it a copy? The CD unit is really sensitive to the quality of the CD. ...

Re: Thesis boot lock problem

A fellow Thesist once told about a very similar sounding situation. His problem was somewhat worse because the car had been rear ended in the past and the repair was not too well made, leaving the mechanical lock disconnected from the latch. He had to dismantle the back seat in order to open the boo...

Re: EPB alignement after caliper change

As a sidenote to anyone planning to replace the rear brake pads: The service manual tells that you need to retract the brake pistons using a tester - and MultiEcuScan cannot do this. However, you can drive the pistons: 1) Remove the old brake pads 2) Apply a brake caliper tool between the piston and...

Re: EPB alignement after caliper change

Basically the answer is no. The EPB will calibrate itself, but it may need several engagement and release cycles before the fault indicators turns off.

Have you replaced the calipers already?

Re: Skyhook

I've always thought every Thesis was equipped with Skyhook because I've never seen one without. The part numbers that "racing" gave revealed that a conventional (non-Skyhook) suspension seems to exists, but it's limited to the armoured models only, plus a "special version: Aziende&quo...

Re: Lancia Thesis 2.4 JTD-Automatic Gearbox

That's interesting. I have contacted several junkyards in Germany and Poland that sell Thesis parts on various web sites, but they all (except one that has closed down) refuse to ship any parts to Finland. I cannot really understand why. Within the EU, there are absolutely no problems with internati...

Re: lancia thesis bootsector problem

Hi, Sorry, I missed you post. It looks like you have found the solution, but in case you still need the CD, you can contact me at hs ät nic dot fi. I have a disc from Vlad (thanks, Vlad - it works well!) but for the boot sector / firmware update problem you need the original CD. There's probably som...

Re: Skyhook

Hi, The Skyhook is standard on all Theses, I think. The shock absorber is quite pricey. The reference price is around 600 euros per unit, but that does not include the dealer's profit. The local Lancia dealership here always charges exactly double the reference price, so I have so far avoided buying...

Re: Lancia Thesis 2.4 JTD-Automatic Gearbox

I would definitely not call the gearbot "not that well built". The same Aisin gearbox has been in use in several Volvos, so it's widely used and therefore well known. It's true that there have been problems, but it seems that there should be no problems before 500.000 km or so if the trans...
