Would you think that'd be down to the first or second fault or both?

I'm trying to sort out getting it scanned but doing 6am-8pm every day so hard to get someone to do it.

Hey people, first fault is a flashing glow plug light, if I drive sensible (I.e. 5th gear doing 40mph for ~10 miles) then I decide to boot it in a 60mph zone it'll drop power and flash the glow plug with the message "engine fault garage". Now, the second fault can be brought on by the driv...

I'm in kings Lynn, Norfolk buddy. Its still under a 3 month warranty so may just take it back to them to get it sorted.

Just a generic picture of Google, but its that light that's on (only when the ignition is on, whether its meant to be there or not I don't know)



Which according to the hand book is an exhaust fault.

As the title says really, noticed it earlier today, only seemed to do it in 2nd &/or 3rd at around 2-3k rpm. Its not done it since I've had it (got it Saturday) first time I've noticed it. Am I right in thinking maybe EGR or MAF? Also noticed that the Exhaust light stays on the dash once ignitio...

New to the site, here's my B6, picked it up Saturday, its a 170 sport model.

Needs the wheels refurbed & I want other bits doing to it, but will be keeping it for a few years.

VCDS is the software used to talk to the VW's modules... you can buy it for around £250 or ask on here for anyone local to you, who has it (people will be happy to help... normally) Fogs as DRL's and 15% turn signals..... is easy enough But you will need newer module to do cornering fogs Where are...

What year is your B6? Loads of mods quick easy and cheap with VCDS (if youve got access) Ive added: Free if you have use of VCDS: Fogs as DRL's (Plus added Tahirs LED cree bulbs so looks very OEM) Cornering Fogs Turn signals at 15% with sidelights (US style) Cheapish mods: B7 Vents.... get some use...

Well if I'm honest budget hasn't been thought about, saving up for a wedding for the next 10 months or so, but even then not looking to go over the top with wheels and lowering it etc. Maybe get a remap at some stage but not too fussed. Wouldn't mind doing the donut/skyline light mod and just changi...

How would I check that exactly?

Also been told about Rear Caliper Electronic motors(?) being a common issue.

Hi guys & gals, I have searched endlessly over the past hour or so and heard of some absolute horror stories of the B6 & generally other 2.0 TDI VAG engines. I see that they had a recall for the injectors, I presume that now, once the cars been recalled and problem fixed I should have no iss...
