Mine is a 2009 car on 70k and they were replaced under warranty but it's now out of warranty so unless you have an extended or "aftermarket" warranty I doubt you'll be covered.

You try eBay or a local scrappy.

I had a couple out on mine but it was replaced under warranty

mk4gtiturbo - 69,000 miles athol - 70000miles mercedeslimos - 119000 miles Toca - 121000 miles Bewildered - 125000 miles Leep17 - 137000 miles Jez - 168000 (in 3.5 years :-) ) minio - 248100 miles B6 Charlie - 255000 miles Just a note is it worth adding the year and engine so we can see what lasts? ...

I noticed last week when we had summer that the clear bit of plastic over the display in between the speedo and rev counter has dust in/under it. I know it's a bit OCD but it annoys me on those two or three days a year when we have sun and I'd like to clean it out. Anyone know how to remove the pane...

I wouldn't risk it. 12 years ago I was minding my own business when someone jumped a light on me and did this http://www.desmond73.freeserve.co.uk/Images/N106CKU%20Smashed%20Ft.jpg The car was remapped and they found it out. They refused cover until I pointed out I had disclosed it on my proposal. D...

I tried this with my old DSG and was told it's been disabled in the diesels due to the torque of the engine. Still active in the petrol versions tho I believe

Keep an eye out?

Well the Passat went a few months back as I had a job with a company car (I had an 11 plate Insignia). Well to cut a long story short I quit the job. I've been out of work for a month but now I have another job and today I purchased my new car, I was looking at Mondeos, Insignia and the like. My old...

Well the Passat has now sold, I actually got a better price from a dealer than I could have from selling it privately and I saved all the listing fees. It will leave me on Friday having not moved since the new company car arrived a month ago (60 plate Volvo V50 R-Design before ppl ask!) Overall I ha...

Don't forget it has 235/45 for a reason, if you put incorrect sized tyres on then your insurance company will have something to say. What you save in fuel you'll probably have to pay as an additional premium.

It's supposed to be half decent but not as good as the real thing, more like an intense cleaner than a proper clay. It will make a difference, just remember to add your choice of protection again once done.

Funnily enough mine has been fine as well but it is also being put up for sale very soon, not because of any of these problems but because I got myself a new job and with the miles I'll now be doing I opted for the company car again. Looks like it could be a Peugeot 407. Regarding the 170 I thought ...

I have to admit I don't agree with the methods stated above either, but that's not to say it doesn't work. Each to their own I guess. @OP Get yourself over to http://www.detailingworld.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for loads of tips and advice. Be careful tho, it's a...

I've not taken mine off so can't help really, but you could always give a dealer a quick call if you need a fast answer I'm sure one of the techies will know off the top of their heads!!

I've just put the third set on the front of mine 2.0 TDI 140 Sport DSG (with 235/45 R17 97 Pirelli P-Zeros). Mine usually gets 19k out the fronts. I also put the new tyres of the rear wheels and swap the worn ones on the front.

Bizzarely my issue seems to have resolved itself. With the RAC here the car struggled into life then stalled again and then struggled to start again but after reving it a bit and clouds of black smoke it seemed to clear and has been fine since. I've dropped it down to the local dealer and they ran a...

Mine is currently sat at home now unable to be started (I'm away) turns over fine but no firing. It'll get recovered to the local dealer for them to fix. Depending what's wrong it's probably gonna get sold. Sounds like injector failure. Diesel waxing is almost unheard of these days. Just on a sligh...

Turns over fine just will not start.

A couple of mine after a top up detail

Thanks for that, but I think there are some developments. ~x( Having spoken to my local dealer he thinks it may be the dreaded injector fault :(( . The car has only done 42k miles and is a few weeks out of warranty :-q . I'll have to use the wife car to go away over Chrsitmas and I'll then need the ...

I've not driven my car in the snow so I went to start it tonight and the battery appeared to be flat. Put it on charge for a hour and a half but still dead, no chance of bump start because its an auto. I've ordered a battery from Halfords as I need to drive (with family) to my parents tomorrow for C...

I have a 57 plate 2.0 TDI Sport DSG. I've had it for two years and put over 20k of miles on it (only 41k in total). The only problem I have had so far is the handbrake switch which was changed under warranty. Having said that I do have the worry at the back of my mind about all the issues but luckil...

+1 on plenty of lube when claying. I don't want to scare you but I didn't use enough and caused some marring which I had to get machined out. As a result I got into detailing and now have my own machine. Claying is really straight forward just make sure you use enouigh lube. The clay should glide ov...
