Morning All

Thanks for the heads up.

Can anyone clarify if the drain and fill bung is a specialist multispline or 10mm Allen key?

Oil change this weekend in the hope of making this box a little less noisy.

Evening All Well I'm back in a passat after a long sabbatical. I have picked up a 2003 sport with leather, heated seats and factory xenon's. After a service and MOT I have noticed that I have an annoying gearbox whine in 4th and 5th from the gearbox. Has anyone had any success at quieting this down ...

That was quick!

Ive got a trade account with Euro so should get a few ££ off.

Thanks Chaps

Can anyone recommend a upgraded bulb for my passat? I'm looking at this from Euro http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Passat_1.9_2003/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/lighting1/car-bulb/?48177022N&1&45529a43320bdd244158db97a8e3c522198cc128&000384 I've been doing a lot ...

I have access to both and I live in Stockton. If your after a cluster smithy756 had one for sale awhile back. Give him a pm and see if he still has it. It's a 929 cluster so uprated and it's fully work (as I have seen it working in the original car) plus has lives in the next town so I could pick i...

I haven't bought anything yet as I'm waiting to see if someone can help me out. What do you mean by Vag tacho and SKC?

I'm just outside York in a market town called Pocklington. I'm willing to travel as I get about a bit with work.

I'm looking for some helpful Yorkshiremen who have vagcom and can program a set of clocks for me. My fuel and temperature gauges have stopped working and I believe second hand clocks might be a cheaper option than sending the display off for repair. I'm happy to pay. :-P Failing that can anyone reco...

Hello I live just outside York. I stripped out the cluster today at work and nothing looks untoward on the back of the PCB. Has anyone got a copy or a link to the wiring digram for the cluster and the pins and ohms required at the cluster. It makes sence to test for continuity and confirm that both ...

Ok After a brew and digging around on the site I have found this. http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25463 I dont have access to Vagcom but the above problem is very similar to mine. Does anyone have any contact details for a company that can repair clusters or better still the...

On the drive home from work both the fuel and temperature gauge decided to pack up. The car is a 2003 1.9 tdi 130 with 162,000 miles and drives like a dream. I pulled over quickly to check the water and oil and all was well and topped of as I expected. I don't want to dive in and replace the sensors...

Can anyone point me in the right direction here. My boot will only open if I use the button on the key fob. It will not open from the switch on the drivers door or the boot mounted switch. The key on the boot is stuck at the 1545 position and wont budge. I can still get into the boot using the fob b...

Hello

Is there anyone in the York area who has vag com able to plug into my passat for some beer tokens.

I suspect my turbo has gone pop but could do with a diagnostic check to confirm.

Systems are zero boost. checked all the hoses and N75 valve.

Thanks

Scott

Help Guys My turbo has packed up. I'm currently pumping Mr Muscle up the backside of the VVT in the vain hope to cure the zero boost problem. I've had intermittent boost problems for the last year. I have checked all the hoses and all is good. I've belled out the N75 as well as having the codes read...

I haven't cracked into the system yet. The condensing rad in front of the engine rad has a hole in it and its loosing fluid. When I remove it I will obviously have to crack into the air con gas side. Is there a way to do this without opening the dryer up to moisture. Shut of valves? If I refit the s...

Help Please I had an unfortunate accident with a blow down tree last night. The end result being a smashed lower grill and a few branches through the rad and condenser. I have the car the front end stripped down after breaking my T45 bit removing the metal bumper part. :-s My question is when I crac...

O.k I will have a look at the siren. The rear passenger carpet on the LHS was damp at some point last year before I cleaned the drain plugs. Am I right in thinking that some of the sensors for the air bags are under the seat under the carpet? I put a fan heater yesterday on the carpet that felt wet ...

Can anyone point me in the right direction. The electrics have been playing up on my 2003 tdi. The alarm keeps setting of intermittently. Some days its fine the next it gets me out of bed a 2 in the morning. :(( Also the Air bag light has come on. I have dropped the battery terminals off and re conn...

Has anyone refurbished their brake callipers?

Any links to seal kits or are they dealer only?

Has anyone rebuilt there callipers?

The piston seal has gone on mine but I have rebuilt callipers in the past. Second hand parts are ok if money is tight but its easier in the long run to replace both with refurbished units to save on time?

I've have just replaced my front dampers. (nightmare of a job due to the top pins!) I replaced the front disks and pads early this year and now my front calliper is sticking. I'm going to need two new callipers but I have been considering how much more money to throw at the car. I'm currently at 143...

I need to replace the front shocks on my passat

Its a 2003 1.9 TDI sport.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of parts numbers and the best place to purchase?

Many Thanks

Thanks for the reply Andy can you interpret the data from the vag com. I could really do with someone who knows their onions. I'm thinking of cleaning the turbo with the Mr Muscle but I could do with some pointers of what to change. N75 etc. I hate changing parts on cars hoping for a fix. Being a sh...

Hello Is there anyone in the Yorkshire area that has vag com and a good understanding of the fault codes. I'm struggling to solve an intermittent power loss on my B5.5 130pd. The car occasionally looses boost power. Its has been happening more recently with the hot weather and air con running. The d...

Hello

Has anyone any links/tips on removing the rear door cards?

My rear passenger window has stopped working and the door wont lock either>

I'm thinking a solenoid has packed up on the lock mechanism.

Any tips please?
