Ok. Finally, After a long time, got a and fitted a towtrust fixed flanged towbar. And installed with a polished stainless bumper protector. And it does not interfere with the parking sensors. Even the keyless boot opening using the foot works - just a bit more hit and miss to get it to open. Just in...

Thanks all. Good reading. Looking to use on passat 2012. I think it will work for a octavia as well but not as important.
Mostly reading fault codes from all ecu/systems and later down the line maybe setting up a towbar!

As per title. What can vcds do that obdeleven cant? Just deciding what to get?

I suppose ive answered my own question. Yes it does. An ABS sensor can effect all of them things. Ive replaced the sensor and all errors have gone.

Hi. Had some errors pop up after replacing a door window ecu. After getting most reset by a garage i still have abs, auto hold, directional lights, auto start/stop, esp, steering assist and parking brake errors. including optical parking assist is unavailable. Error codes 3842 rpm sensor believe its...

Ok. Finally went out for a bit of a drive. Just round the block, and still got most errors. Is there anyone nearby sudbury, ipswich or colchester that would minding resetting things? Ive tried a couple of garages and waiting call backs if they can fit it in? Might think about getting Obdeleven? Are ...

Will taking thr battery off cause me more issues?

Does anyone kmow the lifespan of a compressor?

Ok. So swapping switch and window motor make the mirrors operate as per the old car. But now ive got a number of errors. Is this because ive swapped bits or is there other problems? Is this what was ment by I'd need to coding? Abs error Parking assist is not available Airbag error Directional light...

A flange towbar will probably upset the parking sensors, if you don’t want the expense of a detachable then you’ll need to go for a swan neck bar. I had my detachable fitted at Bury St Edmunds VW when I bought mine but it was a local fitter who did the work, I think it was about £650 for the demoun...

Ive had to buy a new car, same year and model. But my old car had a new compressor and condenser fitted a year ago. Is it worth swapping it with the ones on the new car? Cant see any work for the new car regarding these components? Thoughts please. How easy would it be to swap. I know the gas has to...

Oh ok thanks. What software/hardware is needed to do the coding? Ive noticed people using vag-com and alike. Or is it best to take it into vw dealer or another garage? I bet it wont be cheap.....i guess the old "disconnect the battery" doesnt work any more. Strange it didnt upset the car t...

in addition, am i right in thinking you can get 3 types of electric mirror setups. 1, electric adjusting mirrors only. - controlled from driver door. 2, electric adjusting mirrors with folding in option. - controlled from driver door. 3, electric adjusting mirrors with AUTO folding option. - control...

Thanks ill have a look.

Has anyone got a fixed flange with reverse sensors? Do they interfere with it?

Cheers i know i get a good answer here, better than scanning the net!, I did the same with the spare wheel when i had a cracked rim. So hopefully that will be fine. Mirrors Memory seat? dont think the old car has that! the mirrors only fold in when the wing-mirror knob it turned to folded in. Will i...

Hi all. Been a while. But since my 170 sport estate got written off by some twit behind, ive had to find a new car. Now ive bought another 2012 170 sports estate with a few more bells and whistles but doesn't everything my original car had. As ive got both cars at the mo. How easy is it to swap thin...

Ok. Whats the torque limit then on stnd clutch? lol.

Ok cheers. Heard people say the standard cant cope with much past 170. Is there a rated limit for the standard clutch?

Ok im now needing to replace my clutch on my passat b7 170 bluemotion sports. Slipping. As im planning on a remap (+40bhp +30nm roughtly) what should i replace my clutch with? Standard oem clutch or find an uprated one? Any thought?

Thanks for the great reply. The bolt is still present. I do suspect the clutch isnt kicking in for some reason. But finding the right relay and fuse doesnt see as easy as i though it would be. Plus no fuse or relay inlay cards or anything in the book.

Hi all. Ive got an issue on my air con. Now ive check the gas and its up but the compressors not engaging. Ive seen a few coments and thoughts as to possible exspensive reasons but i want to quickly check the basics. Can someone tell me which fuses to check and which relays it uses. Ive check the fu...

Thanks for all your replies. Let's seem what's happening so now. Why don't they just make the dpf larger?

As only option now to stay legal is remap only. I've had mine remapped, there's little improvement in more lively accelerator but no surprises, its still only 2.0l engine. Do DPF,and you may get away with it. But think this way: You may have a friend who'll do the MOT for you, you'll get passed but...

Any thoughts on these local companies? Anyone used them? Also looking at superchip too.
