In my opinion if you can feel air the leak is not big enough to make an impression.
If you replace the o ring it should stop the oil seeping out though!!

Re: Egr vavle needle help
If you close the butterfly you feed the engine with only exhaust gas so it should be killing the engine. As long as the bolts are tight there should not be any leak of air there. If the engine is on is the any air escaping you can feel with your hand? When I did mine i took off the inlet manifold to...

Re: Oil Change
As far as I am aware there is not but are you looking for help with it?? It is dead easy. Jack up the car after a bit of a drive to warm the engine. Open the cap to put oil in, undo the bolt to drain the oil out. Let the car sit a while and while it is sitting, undone the cap for the oil filter. Tak...

Has anyone else noticed that the EPC code is no longer working?? I have tried to get something this evening but the code is either expired or nonexistant. Anybody any ideas when it will be up and running again?

Re: Genuine VW CD player.
Even if the Climatronic is at the top 6 disc should fit in too.

Re: installing a cb radieo
These are a great job. My wife from is from Poland and nearly 50% of cars have them over there.
I was borrowing her dad's 'sat and it saved me a few times from the teddy bears hair-dryers.
Would install it here in my passat but not enough people have them for any real use.

I have had this problem for the last two weeks now but I have had to fight with it nearly everyday as the pressure just seems to blow the cable ties off each time.

Intercooler Hose Blown
A few weeks ago I had heard the all to familiar noise of air hissing as I put my lead foot down. Nevertheless I kept driving and after a day or two I heard a loud pop and started to see a lot of black smoke. I knew what was up, the intercooler hose I replaced nine months ago had blown out of its hou...

Re: Alarm help needed urgently please!!!
Have you tried pressing the button on the door pillar before you get out and lock the car? It is to turn the sensors internally off but maybe thats the problem? You just need to do that everytime you get out to lock the car.

Does this mean closeing the windows while locking the car?If you have a VAG-COM lead download the motordiag program and register it then you will be able to remotely open your windows.
