Re: Water in spare wheel well in 2008 TDI Sport saloon

The two seals around the boot hinge are a good suggestion by Chrisdut. Take them out and look carefully to see if there is any nick in them, even the tiniest nick could mean a major leak. They are about £7 a pair from the stealers. I had continuous water leak in the boot and found that one of the ...

rear windows 30amp fuse ?

May 2008 b6. Rear windows failed and had a blown 10A fuse which may have wrongly been put in. Its definitely not original fuse. Should it be a 30A fuse for rear door control unit. I believe it might be slot SD23 for rear door control unit fuse ? Can anyone confirm please ? Thanks

I had my 2008 PD 170 remapped (Stage 1) a few years ago by Awesome GTI (Irlam). Had no problems with it at all save for a couple of DPF warning lights which I dont get anymore.
