I keep hearing about people using VCDS or VAGCOM to find stored faults and codes. I have a few questions and I am just wondering if I got this right and since a search brings up 100's of incidences; If I purchase just the connector/USB I can then download the software to my PC (at a cost) and then u...

Don't know about the error code. But if set to cold it is only blowing at air temp it likely needs gassing, I suspect since you ask it has never been in for gassing. Drop it into ....... well pretty much anywhere these days and they will check and re gas if needed. maybe advise on servicing if it th...

No mate,
I want an actual paper book in a wallet I can hold..Call me old school

Mine only has the service schedule with it, seen em on flea bay but wasn't sure about the saloon/estate thing, from what I can see the ones with the Gamma radio and CD changer are saloon.

I have my eyes on an owners manual for my 5.5 estate,mine is only part complete. But some are posted as saloon manual.

Is there a separate saloon and estate manual? or is it a generic one covering both?

you can be sure there'll be pics going up matey.

That's a bummer..

Here's the Overflow pipe.

Yea apparently it can be done, but I wan to coordinate not just have a mish mash, Black covers are not really what I am after. like My RA thread said I want Chrome/shiny alloys with colour matched inner rim and between the forks, I'd like to continue that theme under the bonnet, II want the metal wo...

Cheers fellas, it is spotless inside which is why I am happy to keep putting money into it. And hands off T2000 =; I want to try keep the exterior looking as standard pretty much except wheels and maybe roof bars. new headlights or might try the megs kit on them Can't do much to improve a petrol non...

Just to update.

My overflow pipe fix is working a treat, and the fumes are gone

Yea you do

So far so good though, thanks for dropping in, and sharing..
Good to see Mean Machine products being used too

I have been without breakdown cover since the AA went ott with price last year, I never got round to renewing. but it is one of those things you never use until you don't have it...

Who does everyone else use?

Mainly just want breakdown and recovery to home.

Hmm, I wonder if just changing the colour of my original alloys is classed as a mod?

Good enough for me

Well I have been working up to putting some pics of my wagon up, since it is pretty standard still I felt it was a waste to put it up, anyway this year is the year I plan to get things changed. (not too much). I inherited it from my father in law, and it replaces a shabby looking V plate passat S TD...

Pretty neat

They can't have a key, surely they would have driven it off by now?
Or is there some sort of ignition transponder too?

Has anyone got or seen any road Americas that have been coated silver/Chrome? (pic if poss)
I am thinking of getting mine done with maybe a colour match insert, but not sure how they might look all shiny.

To be fair, unless he lets Jeremy Clarkson take it round the track every day those Dunlops he claims to be no more than 12 months old look pretty well run in to me..

Is it on your drive? Maybe get a stand alone alarm system on a separate fob to the one you use for the car, or a cheaper option one that uses a pin and just sits on the dash. It wont stop them getting in but might deter or allow you to catch them. Failing that Mr Bean is a guru for car security.. ht...

Does anyone ever put a litre or so of regular petrol in with their diesel fill up?

I once did it by accident in a works car but was told not to worry as it is pretty much standard practice for taxi drivers and such, especially in winter.

Thanks matey,

I guess it is inert so I can safely plug it with any old bolt since I can't see any strut or pipe nearby to attach to.

thanks again it was beginning to bug me

Whaaaat??? don't suppose you took a before photo so I can compare your approved wing to my not approved wing?

I think I found it on a salvage website, just look like a bolt or something in it.

I thought of that maybe, I'm off out to mess with it again, maybe let some smoke blow over it see if it draws/blows at all. and exactly where it connects.
