P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor

The car got a P0341 code. "Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range / Performance Bank 1 or Single Sensor" It's the first code since I've owned the car, at 95,000 miles. I've driven the car 300 miles with the light on and no problems. I searched all of the W8 forums and Facebook groups and...

Re: steering wheel options

What did the W8 have originally? Mine looks fake, almost rubber like but has stitches.

steering wheel options

What choice do I have for a different steering wheel? My car has the multifunction buttons. What about those sewn on leather covers? Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Skoda Superb boot spoiler

I don't like those "lip" spoilers, I know 99% of us don't like the large rear spoiler but I do. The one sold by ECS is the Votex factory spoiler, which I have the Votex ground effects/body kit to go on but so far the Skoda rear spoiler suits me best.

Re: Skoda Superb boot spoiler

The spoiler isn't expensive, it's the shipping to America that's costly.

Re: Skoda Superb boot spoiler

The top of the boot lid is the same - so a spoiler from a Superb should fit. I'm only paying attention to the top of the lid because that is where the spoiler will be fitted; the rest of the curves, contours, shapes and lights are of no consequence. I was just looking for some confirmation before I...

Re: VIN code for G60?

This car is in California, how it got there I do not know. I purchased the entire drive-train from it. When I looked up the part numbers to get some new brakes it had two listings, a G60 with discs the same as the Rallye Golf and a non-G60 with smaller discs. I bought all the Syncro bits to fit to m...

VIN code for G60?

Does the VIN tell me if a Passat is a G60 or not? It is a 1992 Passat Syncro from Canada. I would like to know if the VIN tells me it is a G60 or not. Thanks.

Re: help with shipment to USA

Yes, if you can ship for me that would be great. I know it will be expensive. Where are you located? I have to find another.

Re: help with shipment to USA

All that I need is the floor part of the boot (trunk). If someone could educate me on shipping things from U.K. to U.S.A. or ship it for me.

help with shipment to USA

Hi, I will source some parts from the U.K. for my conversion, like the rear boot area that is needed.

Do any members want to ship for me? UPS or another company. I will pay the shipment cost and also for your time and effort.

Please contact me if you're willing to help.

Thank you!

Re: B3/B4 Syncro information, where to find (Bentley?)

There were Syncro Golf Mk2 in U.K.? I know about the Rallye and Country but not the Syncro in U.K. and Canada. I have ETKA on my computer and there is nothing about the B3/B4 Syncro but I will look up the Mk2 A2 Syncro now. Thanks.

Re: B3/B4 Syncro information, where to find (Bentley?)

I am, at this point, just gathering information for a Syncro conversion to my Mk2 Jetta 16V. I'm not going to find any book in America, we didn't get any Syncro here for the Golf/Jetta and the Passat only a few of the G60 Syncro. I'm most interested in technical drawings, so language doesn't matter.

Re: B3/B4 Syncro information, where to find (Bentley?)

No, I've checked the Haynes manual for USA, Canada and U.K. and nothing. I've even looked on the ETKA and nothing.
