B7 Parking sensor volume

Hi Guys Just upgraded to a 2014 B7 Executive 2.0 and am impressed as always. One thing new to me though is parking sensors! My last 2.0tdi sport B7 didn’t have them and this new one does. Not an issue as such, but the volume of the beep when I’m reversing is almost mute and I can’t hear it. Had a me...

Re: Coolant Leak on 2011 2.0TDI Sport

Bowled over as I was with all the responses, for those of you that are remotely bothered, it was the water pump. £400 worse off while they fit a new one.

Re: Coolant Leak on 2011 2.0TDI Sport

Thanks for the reply. Today it had stood cold for 2-3 hours and then I drove it 4 miles and the fan came on.... it's going into the garage Monday so they can investigate the coolant leak. Fingers crossed.

Re: Coolant Leak on 2011 2.0TDI Sport

Thanks for the reply. The water pump wasn't replaced at the same time as the cambelt. Basically, the selling dealer agreed to change the belt as it was 4 years old But didn't do the pump at the same time. As the car had only done 43k I thought I'd leave it for now. I have noticed the cooling fan com...

Re: Coolant fan remains on

Mine has been doing this recently and I've just posted a new thread about a coolant leak that has developed. Could they be related.....? My coolant level has dropped after 12 months of no issues and I had it topped up. 3 weeks later warning light comes on again and I checked her level to find its wa...

Coolant Leak on 2011 2.0TDI Sport

Hi All I've got a 61 plate 2.0 TDI Sport thats just covered 54k miles and just before Christmas the coolant warning light came on. I duly looked beneath the bonet and the level was just below minimum so I took it to a local garage who checked the pressure and topped it up. No leak detected and nothi...

Re: omg omg, just got a b7 ftw

Guys, ive got a b7 saloon 2.0tdi Bluemotion sport and when I got it home after purchasing it used I found it had heated 'rear' seats aswell as front ones. Never come across heated rear seats before. Passengers love it, although I don't carry that many that often. Anyone ever heard of heated rear sea...

Re: Couple of quick questions

Dashboard update.... I bought some dash removal tools on eBay for around £3 and some felt like on the YouTube advert. My rattle was only coming from behind the steering wheel and speedo and in around 15-20 mins today I was able to remove the trim and place the felt in all the connections. Touch woo...

Re: Couple of quick questions

Is it relatively easy to remove the dash and sort the problem? I'm not very DIY savvy so any tips would be welcome. I've searched YouTube and found one video of a guy from Australia who inserts felt into the clip connections / is that the one you're all referring to? If not, could somebody post a li...

Re: Couple of quick questions

I also have a dashboard that creeks. It comes from behind the steering column and on the silver dash trim. It drives me insane. The only way to stop it is to push down on it with your fingers. If anybody has any tips I'm all ears....

Re: Budget £8k, Help to buy Passat

Hi,

I bought my 2.0 Sport Tech Bluemotion about 3 weeks ago. It's done 44k with 2 VW dealer stamps in the book. I paid £9.5k. It's immaculate inside and out so I'm really impressed. I'm the 2nd owner from new and it's a Sept 2011 '61 plate.
