Just had a look and the oil level is right at the upper limit on the dipstick! The egr is slightly wet but the hose on top of egr had a bit of wear from the engine cover so cut that bit off and put it back in. Surely the oil level not actually being low would point to a oil level sensor? I have got ...

Ok will try that. If it is am I right in thinking egr? Do you mean the pipe at the bottom just behind the front bumper?

Hi all, Need a quick bit of advice please. My 2005 1.9 tdi 100bhp has started to use some oil. The oil light came on so topped it up sorted......... then 2 weeks later same again topped up and a few days later it did the same I put about half a litre in each time. There doesn't appear to be any oil ...

Thanks mate

Ah so is it the replacement light unit I need that clips in?

Hi all
Just a really quick and simple one.my wing mirror indicator has stopped working how do the bulbs come out? Also the headlight indicator and rear light work fine but I always found if a bulb goes the remaining lights flash faster? These work normal

Alternator pulley and new belt and it's like a Swiss watch once again.
Thanks guys

Will try and have a look this week it's being motd tomorrow so will get garage to have a look too. Thanks for the info

As title, my 2005 tdi 1.9 100bhp highline rocket ship has started to sound really rough so just been investigating and noticed it is in desperate need of a aux belt as its starting to split between the grooves!! So I will get one of those. The noise sounds like it's coming from the belt area and I n...

Did you just push the rubber gaiter back and was there an obvious split?

Oh ok thanks. I will order a unit and hope it's not the wiring then as I'm not good at that kind of stuff lol

Hi all, I have a recently purchased highline wagon 100bhp model and the passenger side rear door only sometimes unlocks. Press the remote to unlock and sometimes the knob pops up sometimes and more often than not doesn't. Is this likely to be the lock as I do know these are a problem? Or another par...

Evening all, I need some new mats and normally I like to try and stay genuine but I can imagine they are pretty expensive. Can anybody recommend anywhere to get some fitted ones? Or know roughly how much genuine ones are?

Thanks guys

Having sold my sport wagon a while ago and kind of regretting it I have now bought another 55 plate highline estate 1.9 100bhp. Nice example and hopefully be as good as my old one. Can anybody tell me what the engine difference is between the 100 and 120 bhp models? What kind of figure would a remap...

Hi, I will be selling my passat wagon 1.9 sport in the next few weeks if interested. It's a 2002 185k loads and loads of receipts and previously a forum member I've had it 2.5 years. 17inch largos great paintwork and great runner. Only selling as I have just bought my bro in laws seat exeo. I think ...

Mine is due a service anyway so I will have a look and check the filter but I only use good quality service parts. Maybe being fairly low on diesel didn't help still had a few gallon in and no light on. Thanks again

It worked!! Thanks guys for the tips really appreciate it. I was very suprised as it's been a very good car when it didn't start. I now know it doesn't like being parked on a hill. Time for a celebratory beer

Ok thanks I will try that later when I'm home and report back

Has anybody got vag com near silverstone northants? Beer awaits you if you have!

Just tried what you suggested but still nothing!

The mrs has just tried to start it while I'm at work and it came up with a STOP warning and oil pressure low and oil light was on. I did check the levels myself this morn and they were ok.

I will give it a go when I get home! I don't want to be driving the wife's beetle too much it will ruin what street cred I have got left haha

Yeah very slightly

No key symbol came up and I haven't got a second key either
