I'll keep the pump in mind, it had a new one at around 100 - 120000 miles, as the original died on me on my commute to work. So this one has around 40 - 60000 on it

2.0li diesel 160,000 miles. In recent weeks i've noticed that the readout on the dash for mpg has taken a near 10MPG drop from usually around 52/54MPG to about 42. The car doesn't appear to be running any different although i suppose the air con has been on a lot more than normal due to recent hot w...

has anyone bought one of these from ebay http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&userid=auto_tech_obd&iid=222368953621&de=off&items=25&interval=0&searchInterval=30&mPg=2&keyword=222368953621&page=1 cant tell if they are ...

ive not kept a proper track of the mileage but i bought a 5l oil carton on the 5th december and ive just had to replace it so thats 8 months for 5L seems a lot! but i have a feeling its just got worse.

Ive known the passat (57 2.0 di 150)was getting through some oil for a little while now, but yesterday and today ive noticed excess smoke on starting the car and when putting my foot down on a motorway on ramp for instance. the car has always had the odd smokey moment which i attributed to the usual...

thanks ill take a look

not the low pressure warning but the low oil level warning (yellow lamp) has stopped working, i know this because the pressure got too low and the car wont start without the lamp ever coming on can anyone tell me where to find the sensor for it so i can check connections and maybe a part number if i...

Apparently they can hear it move by vcds , but when they push back on them, they dont go back far enough to get the pads on. they said they do them all the time but haven't ever had this happen. its an indi garage, but its not particularly a cheap one.

Have my car in the garage, having the brakes done, they've been pretty spongy for a while, its a 57 passat with the electronic hand brake. they have just called to say that they cant get the calipers to wind back in, apparently in VCDS they are moving a couple of turns and then stopping, can anyone ...

ill check all your other points when i get a bit of time. its possible it is leaking as my driveway is gravel so might be hard to spot

sorry yeah its 57 Tdi 2.0 I dont think its leaking at least I cant see spots on the driveway and the engine is fairly clean apart from my refill spillages. ill check for oil in the exhaust and on the back, when i put my foot down i get the black smoke plume that you see from time to time on the TDI'...

Hi guys, any idea what the issue might be here? I've been having to top my oil up a lot recently and it seems to have gotten much more frequent recently so i set the trip counter the last time. I managed to use around half a pint in 700 miles, which seems excessive, also the low oil level warning la...

lol I didnt set them up myself, A lad from here did it while replacing the CAN Gateway. I dont have a clue what he did!

these can be turned on in VCDS, my 2007 has them but i did do a can bus upgrade to upgrade the stereo. the only issue is for them to work you have to leave the (standard) headlight switch in the on position all the time. then after a few mins of locking the car your lights go off. I think the lights...

Im fairly certain im going to need a full set of break pads and disks on the passat. brakes have recently become very poor, especially if the abs kicks in, may as well not press them. Pedal feel is also really bad, rear disks look scored, so im thinking i've gone through the pads to the metal back :...

In the last few days my brakes have become a little spongy, on first press of the Pedal the pedal travels nearly all the way down then the second press things seem a bit better but this is every time I brake. I think the pads are in need of doing so I'm going to try to take a look as soon as I can. ...

ok guys its running, and I think it my own daft fault. Called the AA and the first thing he noticed was the oil was below minimum, Id not seen any warnings on the dash, but admittedly i hadnt checked it in a while. Now the car was parked half on and half off the kerb overnight, I think what oil was ...

Any thing I can do on the driveway to check?

Nothing on the dash service now as the service counter hasn't been reset, before starting have the same lights as always nothing new other than the oil light mentioned above

Also Fuel pump was replaced only a few months ago..

Just came out to my passat after parking it up lastnight with no issues and it's turning over but it won't start. If I crank it long enough I get a red oil warning and beep. Any ideas what it could be?

I bought this one and put int on the windoscreen in the very corner and router the wires down the a pillar. seems to be working well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111195116986?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 although it can cut out going under bridges lol I havent connected the ap...

also are the mics included universal and will fit my passat or is there a specific mic, would i also require a cable for the mic?

ta

can anyone tell me which looms are required, i dont understand why there are different ones on ebay for instance this one has just a small loom http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetooth-Interface-Module-9W2-OEM-Fit-For-VW-RNS510-RCD510-1K8-035-730-D-/191112622156 but this one has a whole different loom ht...

DAB reception is a different arial and a different socket to the fm reception so the FM reception stays the same. ive just fitted dab into my 07 passat and used an internal antenna. reception seems ok so far but i havent tested it too much
