I had the same shot camshaft issue. I bgt the Nochentecknik (maybe wrong spelling) ones from ebay. Best bang for buck. Do a search and good luck.

Hi there. As for the glow plugs - best ONLY use the original spec NGK ones. Even though the others such as Bosch as correct spec (for the engine), their current draw may be slightly higher than NGK. This doesnt affect the engine but this could be long-term bad news for the wiring loom which was spec...

Okay gents and ladies. After several months of still using the B6 (cant take that away from the B6. It is a PITA, but it keeps on running!), I managed to get the ABS fault tracked down, confirmed and repaired. In the end, I got a used ABS pump from BBA Reman (used but lifetime guaranteed unit) for m...

Another good job Jarek!

That heated windscreen is great. Once you got it, you cant go back.

My wife has Galaxy 1.9tdi and it is brilliant for frosty mornings like today.

With help of a few here, narrowed it down to main abs pump body. ABS ecu checked and was fine.

Gonna get it repaired by bba Reman(?) in next few months. Will keep you posted.

Hi

I have exact same fault on exact same car. Pretty much the ABS main pump body. I'll get a replacement from Reman(?). Gonna be about £250. I'll do it around xmas as i need to use car for work.

Will keep you guys posted.

The G201 sensor is in the pump part of the ABS unit, the ECU is just the contacts into the actual sensor when we fit the repair kit to the golfs, the ECU remains and we replace the pump part hope this helps Chris Thanks for clarifying. If you are free sometime, would you be up for me to bring the c...

Was this problem resolved, I have the exact same problem. cheers Mate To cut a long story...i sent the ABS ecu off to be tested and it was found to be fine. After checking the main ECU and other things, my next step is to remove the whole ABS pump and get that checked. Despite live readings saying ...

Hi As you know the CR engine is problematic check the full list of remedial work done to your car. Then you will see which common faults have been tended to and of course, which ones have not. Start from there if i were you. Best of luck. Try not to drive your car in the meantime. It could be a smal...

Agreed. Only one I use in my Passat.

Ant, I have the BKC. Martin 1810 is a wealth of resource. Basically he is helping me to narrow down from: 1. Dirty ABS sensors on each hub. 2. Faulty ABS pump - google this and OMG. 3. Wiring issue: I also have the cambelt sensor. Car drives fine! Just not ESP! Will let you know how I get on. thanks...

Hi Minio.

Been busy with work and did the front brakes/pads.

Did oil chg service .

Got an annoying ESP/Cambelt pos sensor and ABS fault lights come on.

Not the ABS pump - still chasing that puppy down!

I got Forte off fleabay. Do google searching yourself of user reviews and you will get a good idea of what is pucker.

You do THAT for r&r?

If you need more therapy, you can always have a go at my B6!

You need to check the exact original glow plug. I have the 1.9tdi and chged the NGKs to Bosch. On Martin 1810's advice, I chg back to original spec NGK. These are the VW ones ie from the factory. The problem is not so much the glow plug for the engine but the load it places on your loom. It seems th...

10/10 for perseverance.

Thought my b6 was bad for faults! Just one more fix...yes master!

Fleabay,a company called london colour. Very good quality £70. I have my car and def recommend.

Hi mate. I live in Southport and the guy who does my car work lives in Wigan. PM or email me if you would like his contact info. Be warned, he is not a gadget freak and his Wigan accent is thick so he may be difficult to communicate with. I have him do my work on my B6 and Galaxy. He doesnt muck aro...

That vid of you beating the S2000 is priceless!

Hi, I have similar issue with my B6. I pulled the ABS ECU module out and have just sent it off for repair. I did it this way *with help from Martin 1810. 1. Do a live scan of your VCDS. Confirm there is nothing untowards mechanically with your car. 2. Clean ABS sensors on each hub: as mucky sensors ...

I currently have the 5 speakers plus sub setup but i was looking into the soundbars you get. does anyone know how good they are and if they really do deliver a surround sound experience, ideally i want to get rid of the multiple speakers we have Soundbars are impressive for what they are. Personall...

I am into audio 2-channel but my HT is mitsubishi hc5000 k proj with ps3 as bd player. Just normal 2-channel output via sony receiver amd mission speakers.

Projectors all the way!

For camshaft, i got the hardened version from Germany. Nochturtecknik or similar spelling. See my build thread for pics. I paid £350ish delivered and it is fabulous. I have now done 5k and it is miles better than original VW camshaft on my BKC engine. This or Darkside - you wont go wrong. Best of l...
