Re: Heater not very warm

Well after some investigation I removed the matrix hoses and hardly any coolant came out. It was like there was an air lock. I put the hose pipe into the matrix. No poo came out, maybe just some discoloured water. I back flushed it and it works a treat now. For some reason my system didn't burp itse...

Re: Squeaky front

Dry arb bushes or the front wishbone bush. I had a squeak from one of these and some lubricant spray sorted it out.

Re: Heater not very warm

I've since looked at the blend motor and it moves when turning the heat dial between 18 and 22 degrees. No further movement from 22 to 26. The heater matrix pipes in the car feel very hot. Not really sure on the blend motor operation or how to access the flap it operates. Sent from my SM-G998B using...

Re: Heater not very warm

No I don't have a bag in mine and as far as I'm aware I never have. I'll try removing the inlet and outlets on the matrix hoses and drope a hose in there to see if I can push any air out. I have noticed my blend motor makes a noise moving it between 18 and the 22 degree mark but it doesn't make any ...

Heater not very warm

A few months ago I replaced the secondary coolant pump and a hose. Had issues getting air out the system for a few days. I get coolant out the overflow pipe and no warming up issues and the car sits at 90 degrees all day long. Problem is, my heater is only luke warm. Could I have air in the matrix? ...

OK thanks. No issue with it spilling all over then. Do you just leave the cap loose?

Re: Bleeding air out of coolant system

Went out this morning and the coolant dropped in its own over night. I probably added a litre. Gone down a tad more since. Have heat through the vents now. Quite warm but not hugely, can't remember if diesels do get very hot vent temps. I have had the temp on max. I did take the smaller top tube off...

Bleeding air out of coolant system

Hi I've replaced a hose on my passat, lower rad one, anyway I've ran the car up but the coolant level hasn't dropped. I've had the car idling at 90 degrees and the fans came on. There's no heat from the blowers so I assume air it'ss stuck in the matrix. Shall I try taking it for a drive? Sent from m...

Re: My aircon, the continuing saga!

Did you compare the two valves prior to fitting? Also am I right in saying you need to remove a circlip first?

Gearbox oil minefield

I'm looking to change my manual gearbox fluid but it appears the choices are baffling me!

I've seen some vw 75w.....then I've seen 75w 80, I'm like wtf! Why are there no further digits after vw's 75....

Thanks!

Re: My aircon, the continuing saga!

I know I changed my valve a few years ago as like you, had no air con. Can you remove the circlip and take out the valve and see if there's a number on it.

Coolant pump 2 anyone??

Does anyone know the location of Coolant pump 2 on a 2.0tdi engine CBAB?

I think mine needs replacing or at least the wiring checking.

Thanks

A first for me

I've had a few handbrake issues over the years and it's always been on one side, even more so since buying a refurbished caliper! This time the same side has broken again but the splined shaft that goes into the caliper snapped!! Anyone had this before?? Anyway I've bought a new genuine TRW caliper ...

Temp goes down in traffic

Hello I've noticed my 2.0tdi temp gauge goes down when the engine isn't up to temp and I'm sat in traffic. For example it's slowly going up to 70 degrees, I wait at traffic lights and I can see it dropping. It's fine once it's up to 90 degrees though. I believe even with the heater off it still does...

A question I shouldn't be asking...

I have a 2008 tdi which I bought in 2015 with 69k on the clock. I've no idea if it's ever had a clutch and dmf, I'm suspecting not. I'm now on 143k and still going and hopefully not tempting fate by asking how long on average do these last [emoji28]

Re: Parts search - balancer unit shell bearings

I have no help whatsoever to offer but is this something that needs to be done? I've heard of the balancer shaft but read nothing before regards bearings. Thanks. Just intrigued.

Re: Issues

Am I right in saying if you continue to drive the car with the engine light on it won't do a regen and could lead to a blockage?

Alarm siren going off when raining

Hi

My alarm has just gone off after some heavy rain, the car was locked. I also happened to notice when I was washing the car the other day that it went off as well.

Any ideas as to what could be causing the issue. Thanks.
