Most places just scan for fault codes. You need a complete engine measuring blocks scan that you can post. If the fuel filter was black and things improved when changed, change it again, It is easy diy and cheap. If things improve again, the tandem pump is probably causing your problem by leaking oi...

You will need a new lock. It's a common problem. You can try stripping and cleaning yours but it is probably easier to fit a new one.

Run an engine measuring block scan and post the results.

Never test fuses with a multimeter, too little current. Centrol electronics control module is under drivers side dash, above your knees. There is a relay on it that the interior lights run via. Fault is usually a blown fuse though.

Check the fuses again. It is probably fuse 15 drivers side which feeds to the central electrics control unit.
Don't look at fuses, test them with a battery and a bulb.

The reason for the alarm triggering will show up in a VCDS scan. It is usually a faulty door microswitch or faulty bonnet switch.

You have to get a fault code read to see what code has been set. You use the code as a guide to find the fault. The codes don't usually tell you exacty what a fault is.

I bought my VCDS from ebay for around £60 and it works excellent! It has the most upto date software. It was NOT a cheap chinese copy it was a genuine copy that was made by someone who isnt as greedy as others who sell them for £300+ I am well for 'supporting' the people who can produce a product...

Gendan or Ilexa. Both have web sites and do mail order.

You either support ross-tech and all their hard work for developing it or you support Chinese criminals. Your choice.

I doubt there would be any engine management issues. You will find out when you fit the aluminium one.

Got an aluminium one on my 2006(06) BKP - I know this 'cos I took it off today to clean it out! It shouldn't affect engine management - it's function is to close (for 3 secs) after the engine is switched off then open again & stay open(anti-run-on I believe). I don't think he means that flap. Y...

Those are the prices for the injector and loom. Next you have to pay for someone to do the work. Usually comes in around £750 at a specialist inc parts. More at some dealers.

Looks like the price you have quoted is for the aluminium one. I think they are a straight swap but I can't guarantee that because I haven't tried.

I mean if you send me an email address or post one here, I can send you some details to help.

Depends what you consider difficult. You dont replace the bearing. You unbolt and replace the complete housing including bearing. Send me a pm if you want help.

If it's the basic model, the switch has a flexishaft sticking out the back to control the heater. They may be detached at the switch or the heater.

Unlike previous models, this engine can run using the signal from the engine speed sender (crank) or using the signal from the camshaft sensor. The best signal is the camshaft signal. If a wire is damaged or the cam sensor has failed, the car will run but give a fault code telling you the camshaft s...

I am sorry but that is not correct. I suggest you look up information about VNT turbo's.

The ones I fitted plugged into the mains (240v) and were set on a timer in the garage to come on for an hour before starting the car. It does mean a power lead going to a connector on the car and you have to remember to disconnect it before driving off.

Yes. VW state that there is no time limit only distance. Any VW dealer can check that.

There is no time requirement for changing VW diesel cam belts. The belt is due for changing at;
Up to 2007.....120,000 km
After 2007.....150,000 Km

Anyone working in a VW garage can check and confirm this.

Common problem. The flap sticks and the motor drive breaks. Often blows the fuse which also controls the radiator fan so your rad fan may not be working now.

Auxillary heating shows in VCDS whether you have it or not. What code was next to it ? and what scan are you talking about. I have retrofitted the webasto type heaters. You normally plumb into the heater matrix pipes. Main problem is finding enough space for the pump/heater.
