B8 Estate rear backrest remote cable part
I had to replace the latch mechanism for the offside rear backrest (fold-down switch). All good, but in doing so I lost a small part for the remote release (the cable actuated system where you can fold the backrests from the boot via levers on each side). There are two bowden cables. One goes from t...

Re: OBD port not responding
got round this by removing the white cover from the dongle and it can definitely plug fully in then. So much for "definitely" :roll: even with the cover removed it still wasn't quite making contact. I had to remove the coin storage compartment and then remove the OBD port from behind wher...

OBD port not responding
Hi, I picked up a 2016 2.0TDI SE Business Estate recently. The OBD port isn't responding, I don't believe there is power to it as the LED on my OBDEleven dongle doesn't even light up. I know the original dongle doesn't fit properly on the B8 due to the aperture in the trim being too small, got round...

Re: EGR Valve Repair
Been reading this with interest, especially the advice about mapping out EGR/DPF. Can anyone recommend places that can do this, preferably within 50 miles or so of Bristol? Thanks.

Re: Does anyone know what could cause a drive belt to fail like this?
Usually reason for belt failure like this is that pulleys are not straight in one lane, and that's reducing belts lifespan rapidly. Usually it's tensioner, which fails (need to be checked when under tension with belt fitted). But I have seen few power steering pums and alternators which are damagin...

Does anyone know what could cause a drive belt to fail like this?
https://i.imgur.com/46V6vfA.jpg This was changed around 30,000 miles ago at the same time as the cambelt and water pump. I heard this strange noise while driving yesterday that sounded like a loud flapping that got louder with revs (but silent on idle). Before I could pull over safely it had stoppe...

Replacement key fob
Hi all Short story: I have lost a 3-button key fob. I still have the black plastic strip "valet key" for it and I also have a spare fob with valet key, so I'm not totally stuffed. But I would like a replacement fob as if I lose my remaining one, it'll be worse news. So does anyone know wha...
