I don't know anything about Diesels, but I wonder if your engine has a crankshaft position sensor, (aka engine speed sensor).

They seem to be a common cause of intermittent 'crank no start' issues. If your engine has such a thing it may be worth changing it as they are not usually expensive.

Just ...

I cannot think that the torque values are critical in these instances, but values are stipulated because the robots used in production have to be programmed with a value.

It seems the values in this case are 45 & 50 Nm.

Item 17 on diagram:




Part Nr: 510827861

Same part for variant and notchback versions.

You mean item 25 on this diagram?

Please double check with supplier before purchase.

Any rechargeable battery of 6v any around 200mAh capacity will be fine. It does not have to be fitted on the circuit board, so long as it will fit in the alarm box without making contact with anything else in there.

If it will not fit in the box you could attach it to the outside and run wires from ...

That battery pack is a NiMH rechargeable which consists of 5 individual batteries (actually cells), of 1.2v each, (total 6v), in a shrink-wrapped plastic sleeve.

Such things are used to maintain a voltage to any circuit that required a voltage in order to retain its memory or other settings. They ...

Based on a year 2003 model with the AWT or AWM engine, the part number for the tensioner is:

058109088E
or
058109088K

In practice, it is possible that you can use any that has the same number but with a different suffix letter, though you should check that with the seller first of course!!

Some time ago I changed the factory shock absorbers on my SEAT - fronts at first, and then the rears not long afterwards.

The car was not particularly bouncy when given the "I am thinking of buying this car" test, but were horribly so when actually driving, (though it had crept up on me so I did ...

Might this make for an even easier repair?

From what I can see of it, the following is the case for the clutch (VW call it the coupling btw), of a 2004, AVF.

The wiring loom connector to the swirl flap actuator looks ok despite its incredibly stupid twisted design ( do VAG do this built- in -fault stuff on purpose??).





The 'twisted pairs' are used, in the case of cars, on the pairs of communication lines, (such as CANBUS).

Think of these wires ...

I assume from what you have said that these springs are no longer available from a dealership, (or perhaps they are available, but stupidly expensive?)

First things first. You can identify which part number of spring is actually fitted to the car by looking for the coloured paint blobs on the ...

Photos of the entire panel (minus the window motor), from ebay listings.

These may make things easier to understand.

These videos, (doubtless there are others), may assist:

This all assumes I have understood things correctly and is to the best of my knowledge, but not having specific B6 experience I cannot guarantee what follows...

Item 4 in the above diagram is the pinch bolt that closes the jaws of the window lifter onto the glass enabling the lifter to grip the ...

The window motor (blue) fits this side of the panel in the position shown by the blue box.

I have not done this job on a B6 but the basic design looks pretty similar to that on my 1999 SEAT, which is identical in design, if not in exact parts, to the B5.

Here is the parts diagram for a door panel of a 2007 B6:

Is there anything I can unplug that would bring the EML on?

If, under normal conditions that light illuminates with the ignition and extinguishes when the engine is running, (like the airbag light does), I think you can consider it a self-test of the warning light, (as with the airbag), and ...

That might just be something as simple as the bulb having failed.

UPDATE:

Surely, if the radiator fan is running all the time, it would over cool the engine?





No, not quite.

The engine temperature is regulated by the thermostat, which controls the percentage of coolant that passes through the radiator, (and is cooled), versus the percentage that ...

Regarding the radiator fan.

Simple thing first.... have you tried it with the air-conditioning switched off?, (I think the display will show 'Econ' when the AC is off).

Radiator fans will usually be on all the time the AC is on, irrespective of anything else.

Before you install the new one check the following:

The blower motor spins freely and is not binding or tight.

There are no restrictions in the air path to or from the blower.

In particular, check the pollen filter is not obstructed. If it is, or has been in place for a time, it is worth fitting ...

The thermal fuse is a part of the resistor assy, (the silver coloured object at the top of this photo).

The part number for the resistor assy is 1K0959263A. They are easily available from ebay.

NB If your car has electronic HVAC control it will not be fitted with this resistor.

By 'eck, you have certainly earned that last photo after all you have had to do.

Thanks for your kind comment, it is very much appreciated.

That looks like a delightful piece of design!
