Diagnostic has come back as throttle body.... Engine management light has been cleared (temporarily as it may be)... So... I have to question liklihood of any goodwill gesture bringing main dealership fix anywhere near an indi dealer....just thinking out aloud really... But any further input appreci...

Too true... It may not be related.. Independent scan it is then.... But if egr related then... Massive coincidence that it's happened shortly after the emissions fix... Don't get me started on that topic. The wife's 1.6 Golf (also an EA189) stopped the other day with a dead EGR, and the indie garag...

Besides, youre not really a fully accredited modern diesel owner until youve had to sort one out

Time to return to petrol if that's the case.... Lol

08 B6 2.0 140 TDI CBAB VW emissions fix done (please don't ask me why... Right now I can NOT come up with a decent answer) About 2 months on now and engine management light has come on.... Along with the annoying "bong.... Engine management workshop"advise EGR failure?.. Booked into vw for...

The system has been pressure checked, regassed and confirmed free of leaks... So obviously not that simple..... Anyone have a positive opinion of a specialist in Bromley Kent /s e London...

Cheers for the reply....In honesty I have no proof of that...service book doesn't mention it....also why I did cam belt water pump..tensioner.....a short while back...(slightly late at 5 years and 60,000 miles)....so quite happy to do dsg oil/filter change..and also brake fluid change soon......does...

....most noticeable in sport....get into 3rd gear...and either allow car to bleed off speed or brake to a speed that causes gear drop to 2nd then at 1250 revs there is what I can only describe as an occilation of clutch action..... a violent jerkyness...like a manual being caught from stalling when ...

From ecs through awesomegti


Delivery time from ordering completely sucked at over 3 months ...but I'm happy with the item

Interesting ..mines a late registered 08 plate cr 140
Engine code is cbab
So would you say I just got lucky on that?

Will grab some autosol and apply some elbow grease .. see how it comes up . Thank you

Have to admit I'm thinking of taking some fine grade steel wool to my original tips ..just to brighten them up I don't want a high polished or chrome look ..just a slight lift to them ..think all the rolled in/slide over tips look small .. so would much prefer to keep original dimensions with this c...

I have probably used most if not all of the performance tyres from the leading BIG brands over the years. . .and even the Ultra h performance designs since that phrase started being used. . .truth is they've all been good . . using these on my b6 currently and have no complaints at all http://i1238....

just thought I would mention in case anyone else is looking for similar solution. I decided to buy autosol and a set of brushes. have scrubbed mine up now pretty well rather than buying the tips. tips are cool and I have had in past on another car but I was not sure about ordering from abroad so de...

Coming from a 6 speed manual Merc that I had from new ..I agree DSG is awesome .. bought my 08 highline 140 mid last year .. zero regrets so far ..incredible car ...I put on some 18"Scirocco rims which help to ease the cleaning ...glad you're loving yours too

I went from a 6 sp manual/petrol that I had from new. . .the car was reasonably well performance modified. . . Last year Due to a new addition to the family it was tim for 2 more doors. . .and one more seat. . . .as a result I am now proud to say I drive an 08 b6 Passat 140 tdi highline dsg. . . .al...

not the most slammed b6 . . but for springs only . . .on standard shocks. . I'm very happy with the obvious but not ridiculous drop,visually. . .and ride quality? . . .its only over the worst sort of potholes that the firmer ride feels slightly harsh. . .completely happy with the more connected feel...

. . . today started the car. . .begin to drive. . .short way down the road. . .engine temp still cold i.e. not started to register. . .and I hear a noise that sounds like a bird is chirping wildly under the bonnet. . .not quite a squeal or a whistle . .having a listen with the bonnet up it appears t...

Thanks for the pics and link. . . Eibach springs are a 30mm drop.... Here's mine sat on eibachs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v479/AJoakes/5fda6bb2.jpg of course you're right. . .and I have no idea why I thought it 25mm drop. . .also I have to say quite without knowing it. . .My car will be like...

any b6 shots to show a saloon fitted with these springs please?
. . .need to determine if the LOOK is what I'm after. . .as I'm told they are about the best comfort/appearance compromise I could consider. . . Thanks in advance. .

I'm on 18s I should add

Would a firm cushion raise her to right level ?...bit like a booster seat
