Tried putting hazard lights on?

I haven't connected any diagnostic kit yet but I very much think the ecu has failed from possible water ingress, not from flooding thou the drains don't look that bad.
What an incredibly stupid place to put the ecu, they should be shot!
Has anyone repaired or replaced an ecu?

Howdy folks

Having bought a 2013 B7 2.0 tdi bluemotion on a cat n due to rear bumper damage it has been off road since purchasing due to waiting for log book.
Car was fine on test drive and was then delivered to me on recovery wagon.
I started it just the once no issues on my drive but didn't ...

Wow to both comments! Let's hope so! Thats a mighty fine looking motor!!

So that's your secret minimental!!

Very impressive piece of kit!

applaude you for your skill and success!!

A did a B5 AJM, there's a really annoying coolant pipe that's a nuisance at the top of the bell housing.

A stud and nut can be a life saver as this acts like an extended dowl and helps to line up the engine and box (commonly found on Peugeot gearboxes)

Clutch kit with flywheel are the essential parts.you may want flywheel and clutch bolts too but I have always reused mine. The spigot bearing takes a bit work packing with grease and hydraulic in out.


On your back these are not nice but if your well healed at it and strong it is do able, but I ...

I am in outwood, Wakefield, WF1 3ER

Although the B5 has been off the road for a around 4 years, I say goodbye to my old faithful on Saturday when it gets collected for what I presume will be scrap/breaking or maybe exported either way they fetch a good price!

Always starts efforlessly and the A/C still works (sure do miss the A/C ...

My method is to remove the alternator

I make this easy by snapping a cooling fin on the back of the viscous fan, look for biggest spaced and snap that by placing a prybar in and twisting.

This allows easy removal of the bolts and alternator. 20 min job!

Is the alternator clutch pulley in good order?

I like Exide or Banner Starting Bull too
