Thanks for your input. I only have the small dust caps on each wheel but I have today seen on the internet that there some monitoring devices that affix to each wheel that replace the small dust caps. I presume these are wireless ? :-?? At present in the car I only have the fault code and dash light...

Since I replaced my automatic B6 Highline estate for a manual B6 Highline estate, I have a warning light on the dash indicating a tyre pressure problem. I have replaced both front tyres and checked pressures (both OK). I tried to remove the fault code without success and I can't see any unusual wiri...

Hi All, any updates on this one please, my MOT on the replacement car is due soon.

Hi Maclee, the saviour of many problems! ^:)^ Unfortunately, I wish I had that information a couple of weeks ago in time to purchase such a tool. However, the car (an automatic DSG gearbox and shift B6 Passat estate) had been damaged extensively in the accident and I had intended to send it to the c...

Hi, I have problems replacing a steering rod that had snapped in a minor accident (no one hurt!). :evil: :evil: However, I am awaiting a replacement kit but trying to remove the broken one is a hassle. I removed the rod end easy enough but the part of the rod going into the steering rack is near imp...

Thanks for the reply, I will now buy a replacement.

Bill

Help1 My scanner detects a faulty sensor but my Haynes manual states the item is a combined oil level/temperature sensor. However, when I do a search on the web with that information I only find oil level sensors not any combined sensors. ~x( ~x( I haven't gone underneath the car yet to drain the oi...

Hi, just replaced my B6 with another due to a silly accident!

However, I notice the drivers side rear seat belt does not 'grip' it just pulls right out even if I jerk it fast.

Is there any way of repairing or is it a case of replacing?

I'm not an expert or anywhere near it but does yours have an integrated sensor for wear limit. If so, I only know of one size for mine. Check on Eurocarparts.

To cut a long story short, I have cleared the air bag fault light. :-bd I didn’t have any luck with the ELM327 and other pieces, so I bit the bullet (£45) and purchased a cheap scanner that showed that it dealt with air bag fault lights for VW’s. What swayed me in such action was that the cheap scan...

Ta much. I did open up the door trim again and found the main connector had come adrift, probably when I tried to take a photo of the air bag sensor. However, all is working again except for the dash warning light stays lit! :evil: I will have a look on the internet for an ELM327 that works on wifi ...

Thanks Maclee, details are as follows: a) iOS version 16.2 b) model name iphone 12 mini c) model number MGE63B/A BUT I STILL NEED DETAILS ABOUT ELM327 AND THE PHONE APP USED. An update where I disconnected the battery and have also checked behind the door trim but didn't find any problem although ne...

Thanks, it's amazing the expertise on the forum. :ymhug: Before I approach the AA, I will just check behind the door trim in case there is a loose connector ! Also as there could be other problems with air bags I am interested in your ELM327 and would ask the following:- a) what version of ELM327 do...

As promised, I tried today with my old Autel maxiscan ms309 scanner, but no luck! :(( :(( The only two modules that came up were a) $ 7E8: engine and b) $ 7E9 A/T, and both indicated ‘no codes found’. I did a check on the internet for any reviews for the scanner, one of which indicated that the scan...

That is worth knowing thanks. I have an old OBD2 tool and see if I can reset using it. I will let you know sometime on Monday, weather permitting.
Cheers
Bill

That's interesting thanks Maclee but something else has happened. ~x( ~x( The air bag warning light has come on! I'm not sure how many bags mine has but reading Haynes there could be a sensor in the driver's door. :-?? :-?? I will have to take the trim off again to make sure all connections are soun...

As I intended previously, I closed up the car door but in the process I squirted some WD40 into the lock aperture. I disconnected the battery for a minute in case some of my work had an affect on some electronics (?) I tried the handle – no joy! ~x( ~x( I then remembered I had read on the Internet t...

As usual, you have come up trumps :-bd thanks once more (*) I will put the house point in your record book. I did have another look during the day but temperatures were around 2-3 degrees C, so at 76 years of age, I decided to call it a day until we at least get into double figures and no wind or ra...

You are a star Maclee! Do you by any chance have a list of the parts that are shown on your diagram so that if I need any I can use the correct terminology when ordering, and I will give you a house point as well!!
Cheers,
Bill

Thanks Mitch, looks like I will be waiting for warmer weather as it may take some time!

H Biffy, sorry I haven't replied (trouble logging on) but the simple answer was that the door switch WAS actually faulty.! I bought a replacement on the internet and it works OK. :-bd :-bd Mind you the switch does not operate the rear tailgate door but I don't need that. So all my work in removing t...

Hi, my problem is the driver’s door handle. On my car, I operate central locking remotely from my key fob but during the icy weather recently the driver’s door was stuck with ice. I tried pulling the handle hard but without success. :-? I waited until temperatures were above zero degrees centigrade ...

It's OK, I have seen a video on Utube. The size of the single nut is 18mm which I didn't have but I have ordered one today.. Let's hope it comes off easily, the one on Utube did!

I need to change the front lower arm ball joint. I know the correct size to remove three nuts but I am not sure of the single nut holding the ball joint. Any ideas please

My driver's side rear side/tail indicator light on the wing is cracked but on removal I am not sure which is the part number from the following:-
ZSB 3C9 945 096C 04/05/07
27.45.02.22.11.19 066 EU
Can anyone help please?
