Hi folks 1.9tdi AFN. I had to change the plastic coolant flange that bolts to the side of the head as it was leaking around the join between the flange and the head. I swapped over the temperature sender from the old flange as well as the rubber washer, but the plastic push in clip broke!! I manage...

Hi All, Currently running a 2ltr petrol bought with 54k on and car is faultless but a bit underpowered so will be moving onto a 130 Tdi and ideally the sport one which I believe had 4 wheel drive. Has anyone had experince of this model and any buying advice would be appreciated. Thanks Yo. There is...

If you have basic tools and spannering skills you could do it yourself with some guidance. I can send you the proper factory instructions and advise on any tools you need etc. They are available for not too much cost. Would save you probably €500 or so, it’s not that involved a job. You will need VC...

Nice work, I did exactly the same last week before the Mot. All discs and pads, plus offside rear calliper. That side disc was messed up a little. And the calliper handbrake mechanism had broke.

Hi all. I have a 1999 Vw passat b5 tdi (AFN) that has a coolant leak coming from the pump area.

Clogged EGR valve 99.999% Car has full service history so even at 182000 M, I don't reckon it need a new camshaft, cam folowers/tappets. I didnt have time to check the EGR valve but it has oil all around the union from ally to plastic. I found a video saying Passat diesel "Poor mans EGR blanki...

Hi Aiden, Yes it is. I can tell its coming from the air box and its making the airbox rattle which is making it all even louder. The EGR valve has an actuator arm for the flap, When it was ticking over the other day, I moved the arm, which opened or closed the flap and it shut the engine off. Its a...

Hello all. I have noticed the last few day that the cooling fan has been coming on even in cooler weather and for short trips? It doesn't stay on for too long, normally about thirty seconds after engine is stopped. Not noticed it before except in very hot weather? Any ideas to what could be causing...

Needs to be dead on alignment wise, and perfectly parallel to the crank or it won’t go in. Some I’ve done can be a pain, some go strai...

Panels all back on and just about finished, few niggles need sorting but nothing major. Badges have been “revamped” to match my colour scheme/callipers as they were very tatty.. Aircon has died again, suspected evaporator failure. Knew I shoulda changed it when I did the heater matrix back in 2020 b...
