gear doom?

I are got a problem with my passat :( It’s always been a bit ‘wobbly’ in 5th (sometime popping out). Currently if I’m in neutral with the clutch pedal down and engine running, it’s fine, but if I lift the pedal, there’s a loudish grinding noise like something is loose/rubbing. Stops when I press the...

Re: help a fool

Cool, Thank you!
It appears i have dummy lights - on closer inspection there's nothing in there :lol:
i have no settings for DRLs in the MFD :(
Are these all things that i can just add or will it require extra gubbins and wiring?

Re: Rear cup holders

There's a gap in mine in the back where the ashtray is, which holds the remains of a broken cup holder... so it definitely goes there but I'm also on the lookout for a replacement part too. I might try Smashing VWs in leeds this week and I'll let you know if they have any more in stock dude. :)

fan heater motor fitment

On inspection it turned out that the little brushes were worn down loads, so with them replaced, i've tried to refit the whole thing. The fan spins up fine and actually works now... but i can't seem to get it back in th...

clean your windows with lots of soapy water and a razor blade (not kidding) it will get rid of the tiny little specs of dirt you can't really see until you put the film on and it bubbles over it :)
