Thanks for that, think that handle clip was to far up. Also noticed that the golf lock barrel end was a bit shorter than the leon one. Switched over the ends and slackened the handle clip and works grand now.

Hi everyone. Have just bought a 2001 seat leon and the drivers door lock barrel was just spinning (rcl doesn't work either), also the door lock mechanism wasn't working. The button inside the door to lock all doors works to lock/unlock the other 3 doors. So I swapped out the door lock mech and the d...

Hi everyone just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the problem I'm having with my seat toledo. It's 2001 with 1.6 sr petrol engine. Basically it's misfiring constantly, underpowered and engine is struggling also vibrating and sounds like a metallic rattle once revved. When started from cold...

Thanks will have a look and see. Have a spare ccu from another 1999 tdi I'm breaking so if that's the problem hopefully there the same. One of the problems was the windows not working and I had tried other window motors to see if it made a difference but it didnt though at the weekend I held the key...

My b5 tdi has a few electrical problems and I hope someone can point me in the right direction to sort it. The windows don't work, door locks, boot release, fuel release, interior lights and every so often the immobiliser won't read the key. I've checked all fuses and none are blown though as I said...

Just wondering if any one can help me out. Recently bought another b5 it's a 99 s tdi 90bhp and seems to have a lot of electrical problems and from looking at the fuse box it looks like fuses are the problem. Ill put a list down of what fuses are in what number in this car and a list of what are in ...

The only warning light I get is the glowplug/engine light flashes every-so-often and it goes out when I press on the brake pedal, could that be something to do with it?

Found a loose wire in my engine bay and can seem to find where it connects to, hoping someone on here can help me. Ive attached a picture with a couple of simple highlights ha. The wire Im talking about is the one in my hand circled light blue and it comes out of plug circled yellow about 6 inches f...

yea i realise the glovebox light one after a while. So previous owner must have been looking at the climate control problem and not connected the light again. See the lead in the engine bay it stems off another lead with a bigger plug that plugs into the unit beside the coolant tank. Someone told me...

Took out my glove box there and notice a wire that isnt pluged in, dont know what it is or where it goes hopefully someone can tell me incase its to do with my hot air not working. Heres a couple pictures of it: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv34/nathancoyle/030220112719.jpg http://i667.photobu...

when i see 444 02 i try pressing hot and cold to scroll thru aswell as trying other buttons but nothing happens. Could i have a faulty unit then?

where abouts is the switch on the gearbox? is it accessed from under the car or is it around the gearstick under the graiter?

My reverse lights and number plate lights don't work. Ive changed bulbs but doesn't help. Where should I be checking or how can I fix it. Need the number plate lights for mot soon. All other rear lights work. Don't know if it has anything to do with it but I have a towbar and electrics fitted, could...

Got the code there, held in recirc button and econ. On the left side it said 444 and on the right 02. Anyone know what that means?

I tried that a couple times today an no code appeared. Would there be a reason why or did I not do it correctly?

Was just wanting to know what alls involved in changing the ECU. Mine is faulty and is making warning lights come on and the car run rough at times so been advised to have it changed. Can any diesel 1.9 passat ECU from the same age fit or does it have to be an exact match, and if I get another one i...

Found out the ecu needs replacing as its malfunctioning and reading faults when everythings fine. They said to take it to VW for a second opinion but I was wondering can I just buy another ECU of another diesel passat and fit it or does it need coding etc?

Brake lights are definatly working just checked there now. Cars booked in for tomorrow to get checked on the computer to see if the fault can be found

I noticed today that the glow plug light didnt go out for a couple minutes when I turned the key, so after waiting and it not going out I started the car and it was fine. Could i be geting the flashing glow plug light when driving because the i need them replaced?

Yea the engine is reading 90 on the temp gauge, guessing must be an electrical fault or just the unit then?

My climate control doesnt warm up, even after a two hour drive its still cold also when I turn the fan speed up theres a clicking noise, would these be related problems and anyone no what to check/replace first?

Thanks.

yea they are, why what would that of ment anyways?

Hi everyone, just bought another b5 passat 1.9tdi and noticed on the way home the orange warning light that looks like a coil flashed a few times but when I tapped the brakes it when out. Why would this be? Any information would be great thanks.

thanks for the info

I have a 1.9tdi but say this quite cheap and thought it would be worth buying if those two problems mentioned arnt serious
