Pretty certain that 'marker lights' are/were unique to US market vehicles, so are unlikely to be found outside of your market.

European vehicles had corner indicators, thus:

For a 2007 model there are only two PR codes shown, being 1KU & 2EA, (see sizes in previous listing). The PR codes can usually be found on a sticker inside the service record book or near the spare wheel well: https://www.partinfo.co.uk/files/INF12110_GB.pdf VW part numbers are: 2EA option (310m...

Most outlets, (esp a VW dealer), will be able to identify the correct size from your registration number or the VIN. Otherwise, please post here your year and engine code, (most items are identified using the engine code). The correct size may also be identifiable with the option code (PR code) part...

Just for info. The last time the timing belt on my petrol engine changed I used a genuine VW kit, which was marked 'made in Germany'. The contents of the kit were: Timing belt - Gates Powergrip (marked with VW part number), made in UK. Idler and tensioner - No brand markings, just in genuine VW part...

If changing the compressor, personally, I would also fit a new condenser, (the item in front of the radiator). A few years ago, when it failed, I replaced just the compressor on my car, (Valeo)..... it lasted less than a year before it again failed and I had to redo the job. The second time I also f...

Cheapest thing first.

Swap the front wheels to the rear and vice-versa. If the problem goes away it is probably down to the tyres.

Cannot help with any specific advice I am afraid, but if you can dry the area in question, then apply to it a dusting of talc or the like, when water next appears it will leave tell-tale rivulets in the powder which might assist is locating the cause. That said, remember that if this is in the tailg...

I am not sure it would be a good idea to cover the hole is such a way that it is sealed as this could allow pressure to form in the crankcase. Similarly, you do not want an open hole there because of the possibility of oil loss and dirt ingress. Can you not perhaps put what is left of the old one ba...

I think that has to be your decision once you have the new, longer hose there and can compare it to what is already in place. All I would say is that, as you can see on the diagram, the earlier version did not have the oil separator, and I assume it worked OK without it, although on the other hand o...

Hello folks, me again! So I have discovered that the crankcase breather hose that goes from the side of the engine on my 1.9tdi AFN Passat has broken and has been leaking oil. It is the plastic flange that bolts to the side of the engine which has completely cracked in half. Managed to remove it an...

Also I need to order a new 4 pin coolant temperature sender (the one which goes in the coolant flange and is held in place by a plastic horseshoe clip). The current one is leaking since I replaced the plastic flange as I suspect the old O ring isn't sealing properly! Anyone got the correct OE part ...

I do not know anything about this I am afraid, but perhaps this parts diagram will assist you a little in seeing the routing of the drains?

Items 16 & 18.

No problem, though I say again that if it is working I would be inclined to leave well alone* and only have the system emptied and regassed if you have lost, (or if you ever do lose), sufficient refrigerant that the system ceases to work, or its performance diminishes to a point where it is not work...

As above....... However, if you find that the O ring is fitted correctly, it may very well be just the case that you need to fit a new O ring so it can bed in to the new flange, (the old one may have bedded into the old flange but as a result is not sealing in the new one as it should). When the sen...

PS. Just a thought... Not sure about this application, but if the airbag warning illuminates on older cars because of a failed slip ring it is necessary to reset the warning light after replacing the slip ring. It will NOT reset itself. Have you tried clearing the error code and/or making any other ...

Speculation: I suppose it could be that the difference between those two part numbers lays in the ribbon cable itself, (the one part you swapped over), though I do not think it likely. Then I found this thread elsewhere which suggests it may be necessary to 'code' the new part to the car, and you mi...

Often referred to as the 'clock spring' or 'squib', VW used to call that item the 'slip-ring'. Curiously, it seems to now be called, (by VW), the 'control unit for steering column electronics' . Perhaps this only applies to later versions that include the steering angle sensor? The 2013 model lists ...

There are many variations on that particular badge. Some relate to the style, some to the colour and to the particular version of the car to which it is attached. Doubtless any will stick well to a properly prepared surface, but if you want the actual correct badge for your particular car, your best...

Sorry for any misunderstanding, I did not make myself clear. When I said 'I am pretty sure that these inserts are the same as those used in tyre valves......' , I meant it in the context of the tool used to remove the insert, being the same as the tool used for a tyre valve, not that the valve inser...

Based on a 2012 model, both 'valve inserts', (low and high side), have the same part number: 8E0820855 I am pretty sure that these inserts are the same as those used in tyre valves, and are removed using the same tool as is used to remove the insert so as to rapidly deflate a tyre prior to changing ...

When you refer to the 'solenoid cable' and mention 'running a cable directly from the battery to the solenoid', which cable to the solenoid do you mean? (there are two). Do you mean the really thick cable that connects to the solenoid with a stud and nut, (from the battery positive post), or do you ...

I know little about Diesels, but I did have something similar, just once, with my car which is petrol. Not sure of it will apply to you but I mention it just in case. I had gone out to the car on my drive, started it and immediately remembered I had left something I needed in the house, so I switche...

but it just wouldn't bite. Not sure quite what you mean by that. Do you mean that the starter was turning but was not engaged with the engine, so that the starter was spinning fast but the engine was not turning at all? I do not think that is what you mean as you later said that the engine was bein...

You will usually need the PR code (Option code) to be able to identify a part that is specific to a particular version or option.

Thanks for your reply Dave. There is no SKC I can find anywhere with the car's documents, and I have no way to interrogate the car for that info, (far less the knowledge it would require!!) I think I will just make do with the old-fashion key-in-the-door method and put up with getting a bit wetter w...
