Hi, I need to transport 4 bikes on the roof (3 adults, 1 child) what are the best options ive had the thule tow bar mounted one that holds 3 however it has been crashed into twice. I have now sold my a6 and want roof mounted bikes. What is the cheapest best option including bars and carriers? much a...

I would of thought doing 20k per annum 70% motorway i would get a average of 55mpg. I hope so my A6 was doing 37mpg. With £20 tax and a low insurance group and nice spec it seems a great allrounder. I had a 60 plate and 59 plate Passat saloon 2.0 manaul 170bhp and they were good for 50-55mpg great c...

I am in a similar position selling my audi a6 that is doing 37mpg and looking at the 2.0 manual GT line. I am looking at them with 110k are they good cars?

Having had 2 passats I am looking at the above with 97k on it fvsh and the cambelt done. I do 22k per annum 50/50 motorway/town driving. How reliable are these? What mpg am I likely to get hoping for mid 50s?

Can anyone reccomend the best place to get 4 x glow plugs for my 59 2.0 tdi 140 highline plus manual and a exhaust sensor?? How much should I expect to pay? Kind regards

Ok I have had some luck. A guy at work has the VCDS he plugged in cleared all errors I have drove 20 Mike's and the line came back on with no engine light. He has re plugged it in it is showing a exhaust sensor or glow plug. I am not sure how accurate these are. How much is the sensor/glow plug like...

Rac guy over the road has failed to help me. Still got the 2 engine lights on the management light is permanently on then after 5 minutes driving the squigly line lights up too. The car is shuddering slightly when at a stop. I haven been running it still. I was on the motorway and smelt a clutch lik...

Update.

Started the car this am no warning lights completed 60 mile round trip still no lights. Very odd seems to be running fine. I haven't touched the car neither has anyone else. Do forgive me but what will clearing the codes do? Kind regards

Hi that is very nice of you. By chance a rac guy has moved in this week over the road he has offered to plug in and have a look. I will let you know the outcome. I work in Bolton so it could be a option. Much appreciated

The underneath (foam) of the engine cover had all corroded away and had covered the top of the engine so I have vacuumed it up and kept the cover off. It seems quieter now and isnt shuddering when idle. The engine lights are still on

Cant see ant issues. The engine cover has been took off had a look around nothing obvious. Can anybody help I am happy to travel? Regards

Hi appreciate the response. I will take the cover off the engine and have a snoop about to see if I can see anything obvious. Yes i did have issues with my other car . It is a 59 plate, I am in the warrington/st Helen's area any help would be great. I will check it this am and report back

Hi, I have 2 lights on my dashboard it's a 2.0 tdi 140 manual highline plus. I have had for a few days just the orange squigly lane on with a message saying take to a garage and now the normal orange management light has come on so I have 2 on. The car is running fine but it does sound a bit louder ...

Took the car into VAG St Helen's was Andy's VW. Told me they could not do the laser alignment as the back wheels were out so they fitted new arms and bushes then tried to do the 4 wheel laser alignment. They then told me the front wouldn't line up and they thought it had been in a accident and would...

Hi, thank you very much for this, is this likely to be a expensive job?

Hi, my Passat Highline 60 plate has a issue with the rear wheels they are bent slightly outwards so the inner inch of the rear tyres is wearing very thin. i put new rear tyres on the car 10000 miles ago and they are nearly bald on the inner inch but the rest of the tyre has 5mm on. What is the best ...

Hi my rear light cluster is flashing and some of the led's have gone out. It is only on one side do I need a new bulb? Whole cluster etc?

My driver mirror has been smashed wires still in tact but the casing and mirror have gone. It is a 59 high line plus with heated mirrors. Any ideas where to buy a new mirror from? Are they easy to fit. I'm hoping a scrap yard can help?

How much would I expect to pay in the north west for discs and pads all round fitted?

I just wasnt sure if black car and black windows on this model looked good or a bit "chavy"

What are peoples thoughts on tinting the windows on a B6 Passat Highline in Black (obviously would have black tints) do people think it looks ok or over the top and would it affect re sale?

The 170 was a 60 plate. Perhaps it had a underlying issue the 170. What is the mpg people would expect to get out of the 140? is 52 average accurate?

It is a 59 plate

Thanks i didn't know the 140 didn't have a dpf! wow i am made up. I just thought it would be down to the higher mileage and engine wear. Can you recommend anywhere in the north west to get a re-map and how much is it likely to cost?

Regards

Hi, after selling my 170bhp b6 (150k) i now have a 140bhp b6 (68K) i was only getting 37mpg average out of the 170 the 140 is returning me 52 mpg what a big difference doing 20k per annum this will save me a fortune!! happy passat motoring
