Hi Gaz.

i dont have a particular vehicle in mind yet, still looking

it will be a 2009 or 2010 model as hopefully most of the glitches will be ironed out on the run out vehicles

Does this engine suffer from the dreaded oil pump issue ?

Thanks to anybody who can help..

Thanks for the feedback..

not looking for performance, just looking to make sure its free of the problems the earlier cars had..

does anybody own one of these cars ?

just looking for some owner feedback

do they suffer from the engine that haunted earlier models ?

The B6 is a lovely looking car and i would really one..

i have been put off with all the problems people have with them, so just wanted to know if any of the models were a bit more reliable than the older versions..


i know the BKE is one to avoid, are any of the 2.0 engines reliable ?

it will be ...

Good answer haha..

How about the 2010 runout models, surely they sorted all the issues by then ?

I really fancy a B6 TDI estate but all the bad stuff about oil pumps, conrods, injectors and handbrakes put me off..

Is there a period where they sorted all these things out ?

cheers lads.

changed my stat tonight but dropped one of the bolts down the engine bay..

does anybody know the approx size of the bolt so i can find a replacement untilk i can get a genuine bolt.

thanks to anybody who can help

does anybody know how to get rid of this.

my car beeps service everytime i put the ignition on

5.5 1.9tdi 2003 53 plate

Turned into a great thread this..

looks like the solution will be new o rings and 2 clamps..

Thats original Gaz ...

I have 2 of this clamps somewhere in the garage, will try it.

My mpg has reduced recently would oil leaking at this joint be a possible cause ?

I have oil around one or two of the joints on the pipework to the intercooler..

Are there any cheap fixes for this or will replacing the rubber seals do the job.

genuine merc stuff

Thats a shame..

You can buy 20ltrs of genuine Mrec stuff on Ebay for £55

Can we use mercedes MB229.51 oil is a PD 130 engine..

If we can, has anybody used it?

Thanks ..

I already have a upgraded pollen filter from Mann, they are excellent..

i will wait for the next GSF weekend special and order my stuff..

hi gaz, i changed everything around 9000 miles ago.

how often should the fuel and air filter be changed

i am changing the oil in a couple of weeks so wondering if i should do it all

1.9tdi awx

I have always bought Febi and they have been great..

They are made in Germany , so excellent quality..

my car is a 53 plate 1.9 tdi AWX

The car runs very well but i feel i could be more economical..

The most i ever get on a run is 53-55 and i always stay around 70mph..

The stat and coolant temp sensor have been changed so i was think if the air mass meter was coming to the end of its life ,as it ...

the reception on my radio has gone really bad over the last few weeks..

i got an aerial from the local scrappy which has improved slightly but its still not good..

does anybody know what the problem could be ?

Passat 5.5 TDI estate AWX 2003

the tyres on my car are 205/60/15

i got a price from Black Circles and when i entered my reg they said the size was 195/65/15 ,which are much cheaper..

which is the correct size ?

Passat 5.5 TDI SE

My pad on the front need changing, does anybody have any recommendations..

I would prefer German pads that do not create too much dust.
