Re: Led drl
Thank you for your reply o_ptic. Physically I am not in a state to do anything as demanding (cos of chemo) as taking the light unit off. Apart from glow plug no 4, VCDS doesn’t list any other faults! If the control module has failed, should the cornering lights NOT be working? Cheers

Re: Led drl
Sorry for late reply folks. Health problems 😞. I managed to hook the car up to VCDS but nothing showed up apart from a glow plug 4?! Nothing on the dashboard either, only sometimes the rear right/left reverse lights (I’ve replaced them with leds). The drl are still not working though! I’ve got a new...

I think 1 torque screw holds the outer plastic in place (maybe posi) then two torque to remove the light tthen can change the bulb.

Led drl
Hi there. I noticed yesterday that the passenger side led drl wasn’t working. Rest of the lights work ok. The rubber cover at the back of the light unit is missing. Has moisture played a part in the drl not working, or has the light just given up it’s ghost? Do the drl have a separate fuse? Does any...

Re: Crankshaft oil seal
Hi maclee. Thank you for your help. I did contact the seller with the reg, and they said the picture you posted is not the correct one for my car. I’ll just get the ptfe round seal from carparts4less, although I’m pretty certain the Meyle part you posted is the correct one!

Re: Crankshaft oil seal
04L103151 is the part number of the cover. Is the seal part of this cover/part number? So I just prise the seal off instead of taking the whole plastic cover off? Cheers.

Re: Crankshaft oil seal
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it’s the cambelt side. I think the link might be the correct one, but I think this is part of the cover?

Crankshaft oil seal
Hi all. I serviced the car last week and noticed some oil on the driver’s side crankshaft! Does anyone know the part number for it? Also, is it just the seal I’ll need to replace, or does it come as part of the crankshaft cover? Cheers.

Re: Driving in France
If you don’t have the option to change it on the dashboard menu, you’ll have to get beam deflectors on ebay.

Re: Another Clutch pedal issue
I had the same problem. Changed the master cylinder switch with a Sachs one from ebay and all is well. Biggest headache was getting the clutch pedal upper bolt, 3-rd one. Don’t forget to bleed it afterwards!

Re: gearbox oil
Mine’s a manual too and the part number was different. I don’t remember exactly, but definitely different part number. Around 2.2-2.3 litres needed, but obviously you’ll have to get 3 litres. I think it’s G052527A2.

Re: Estate lower chrome trim?
Hi. It’s just plastic chrome plated/covered. I’ve replaced the passenger side one, can be done with a flat bladed screw driver from inside the bumper. And they’re NOT cheap!

I personally change the fuel filter every 2 years or 20k miles max. You could start with changing the fuel filter.

Re: B7 2013 2.0 TDI Highline saloon advisory work advice please
Does that price include fitting? If not, it’s quite steep. I got a pair of genuine front brake discs from bay for £60, and the pads were Pagid for £20. Front pads include sensors.

Re: Hi what is the normal oil operating temperature?
My understanding is that the engine oil HAS to reach above 100c degrees, in order for the water to evaporate!

Re: Hi what is the normal oil operating temperature?
Mine’s a CFFB manual. Driving uphill in Austria (long drive in Europe) outside temp 40c, my oil temp went up to 132C.
Car was serviced before I left UK just under 1500 miles ago, with Castrol Edge 5w30.

Re: 2014 executive suspension
How much are you paying for the springs? I paid around £130 for the correct set of Eibach springs for mine when osr one broke. I have Bilsteins at the back, Sachs front shocks.
