So I think the best and most cost effective solution here is to remove the offending battery from the existing alarm siren, clean up the pcb with the alcohol cleaner, then replace with the common all garden AA rechargeable batteries in holder, that way there will be no future obsolescence problems A...

OK great thanks Please see attached for info including the damage. Main concern is the ic adjacent to the terminal but if this one is u/s then I will have 2 others on order that I would put a new battery in For info for others I used a bare hacksaw blade and gently cut around the seam of the outer c...

Most informative and helpful Maclee I will probably go down the 150 mah route for the spare replacement battery and see what the condition is of the 2 used siren units are Still baffled as to why the so called brand new Chinese copy didn't work but cannot be arsed to remove it until I have the repla...

Yes I thought about the lower capacity battery and protecting the pcb from leakage I now have a 2007 replacement ordered and one from a b7 that looks the same It will be interesting to see exactly what's inside the Chinese copy as it has made things worse rather than better! I assume the replacement...

Hi
Do you have a link for the battery please?
I have been looking but thought the 5v 200h was obsolete?

Hi all So in common with a lot of b6 owners the alarm siren has stopped working throwing the 01143 vcds code for no signal on my 2007 140 TDI sport. I ordered a flea bay Chinese copy and fitted yesterday but now have 00323 no signal to inclination sensor and 00135 no signal to interior monitoring se...

For what it's worth I have disconnected the battery for several months on a b6, b5.5, mazda bongo and alfa 147 jtdm for exactly the same reasons The only thing you may need is the radio code as the system can forget this over time but if you have upgraded then it's no problem If you are concerned ab...

Hi

Regards

Correct it's kind of oval there's only 2 of them the car is abroad but I think I have a photo somewhere I took as I need a new battery as well
I will see if I can find and post

Thank you for the reply
It's not in the diagram unfortunately
It's actually a bung rather than a grommet in the firewall engine side of the battery and is not listed on any diagram on parts websites so I guess I need someone to get the number physically or at a local scrap yard ?

Hi all Just wondering if you can help please with a part number and best place to buy the rhs small grommet that is in the bulkhead immediately in front of the battery mine has gone missing If yours is still there then could you please take a look and let me have the number It's on a 2001 130 sport ...

Thanks for the replies, It looks like I will be favoring the braked trailer option as I used the Insignia to take a caravan weighing 1200 Kgs plus a full boot a couple of months ago the same route, the difference being the caravan stayed so the return was much quicker! It may just be simpler to take...

Hi Ray Thanks for the reply I was thinking about using an a frame so it wouldn't need 2 persons the car is in great condition and running with current tax mot insurance etc but I am not sure what unbraked weight is possible as the b6 is a heavy car and I would be towing approx. 1200 miles over Europ...

Hi All, Probably a strange question but I was wondering if you could help please? I would like advice on how far it would be possible to safely tow the above car and the most cost effective but SAFE equipment to buy. The tow car already has a towbar and the Passat is a 6 speed manual so I assume it ...

Yes but just wanted to do homework and inform others before going to dealers so any feedback would be useful...

Hi all Car in question is a 2013 1.6 Bluemotion TDI Estate with 6000 miles Thought at first it was some kind of regeneration for the cat.... Was leaving the motorway after "booting it" uphill when fault occurred, would not go over 3,000 rpm and plug light flashing, reminded me of limp mode...

So I have a 2007 (57) B6 140 tdi sport with the standard factory fit single cd player and no steering wheel controls I bought the 6 cd magazine on e bay cheaply for the glove box but have not got around to fitting it (the idea was a simple way of replicating my 2001 pd 130 sport that now lives in Gr...

Hi All, Just wanted to let you know about this supplier in the US on E bay :- http://stores.ebay.co.uk/dz-speedy/Bumpers-Spoilers-Skirts-/_i.html?_fsub=3300056012&_dmd=2&_nkw=passat My spoiler has just arrived after 7 days and is Genuine VW and sprayed to very good match (shadow blue) and qu...

I have fitted them to a Mazda Bongo (the sensors were wired to a transmitter module locally to the rear bumper that I then situated in the rear reversing light cluster). The main receiver unit has a feed from the front cig lighter socket. Has worked well for 2 years now with the very occasional blip...

I have vag com and am in the south west but also want puddle lights fitting.....
Anyone wants scan or fault code resets etc let me know

Hi All My 2007 TDI Sport Saloon (approx 42000 miles) has had the injectors done under warranty at the local stealers, but then I noticed the dreaded rear tyres wearing uneavenly on the inner edge and reading the forum decided to try the rear wheel alignement at a local Auto care centre (not Thick Gi...
