Fuel guage broke?

Hi all, My fuel guage has been working perfectly but yesterday I filled tank to full and now it doesn't register at all and beeps at me when I turn car on to remind me I need petrol. I've done around a hundred miles since I filled up, I was hoping it might start working again once the fuel level wen...

Battery cover?

Hi all, replaced the battery the other day. Was surprised to see that any water coming off the windscreen would just dribble through onto the top of it!

Also battery just sits there loose.

Am I missing something like a cover to keep it still / dry?

Bluetooth OBD II connectors

Hi all,
I've seen some Bluetooth OBD II connectors on eBay, they'd be able to connect to my phone and read codes, see live data stuff while driving etc, but does anyone know if they work with our B5 's?


Cheers

Airbag symbol on dash

Hi all, new to forum and passats. Picked up my lovely car and it's showing the airbag symbol on the dash (got an advisory on mot).

Is this a common thing? Any ideas what it means?

Unfortunately the owners manual didn't come with it.

Cheers!
Stu :)
