I shut my drivers door yesterday in the same fashion as I normally do, locked the car and went for a surf, came back unlocked the car and the drivers door handle is not working..... wont let me in, so now having to open the rear door and and awkwardly reach to open the drivers door from the inside!...

I need to get a replacement for the drivers side storage compartment (below the ignition) but I have no idea what it is properly called and/or it's part number. Can anyone suggest how I might find out? I have no intention of paying to get it from a franchised dealer BTW! :???: Vw call it 'Tray' and...

Currently the DSG DMF is listed at £200 less than the six speed manual DMF. I have no idea why. Perhaps you should contact a dealer to see if they can confirm pricing. Have you tried Euro car parts? They are usually pretty good.

Losing brake fluid, noticed rear n/s brake caliper weeping brake fluid between caliper and electric motor housing, anyone experienced this? regards There is an o-ring seal between the caliper and the motor drive pinion that leaks. Easiest thing is get a recon caliper and motor from TRW. It's all ex...

Can i use the measuring block thing on vcds lite ??

No vcds lite won't work on a b6 passat.

if you have a problem get a vcds scan of engine measuring blocks. Cleaning the egr is a waste of time but it might make you feel better.

Can anyone tell what the thread is for the oil pressure switch on an '06 tFSI 2.0L engine? Fitting an oil pressure gauge and need this info for the "T" piece thread to match And where is it? Thanks! Thread is M10 x 1 and it it should be in the oil cooler/block that the oil filter attaches...

DMF for BMR/BUZ: 03G 105 266 CJ £560 from dealer. You need a clutch kit to go with it. It's a standard LUK part. Try Euro's or GSF for a cheaper price.

So really i need a laptop to change the front pads? If i'd of known that then i would of just took it to VW. Lowey. You don't need a laptop or vcds to change front pads. VCDS has nothing to do with it. On a B6 Passat you have one wire that makes a circuit through the front left pad. When the wire i...

Morning all. Fitted some new brake pads to my motor on the weekend. Genuine VW passat parts with the sensor for the brake pads low warning light. Anways. Fitted them all fine, since then the Brake Pad warning light seems to have a mind of it's own. When i took the car out for a test drive after fit...

You need to get a scan done to see what the engine ecu is reporting.

They are not all the same but clips are roughly 50p each, o-rings and clamps are about £5.00 each. Some companies specialise in o-rings and seals so they may be available cheaper elsewhere.

You can buy clips, o-rings and clamps from the dealer.

Hi everyone!!! Maybe someone knows or heard anything about interior airbags . As so many already knows , steering wheel airbag wiring changed around 2007-2008 , it went from dual ignitors =>>> to single . So my question would be : does seat airbags changed as well ??? or they all the same up to now...

You mention a wet drive but this cars faults sound like it's been in a flood and some of the connectors/controllers got soaked/damaged.

The autoscan is nonsense. Who ever did it should have cleared the faults and scanned again. If the car really had those faults it wouldn't start or run. My guess is many of them are left over from an attempt to start the car with a flat battery. Don't do anything until you have another scan. You wil...

As it's a common rail engine the boost control valve/solenoid will have broken. It's a fairly cheap and easy fix. The epb fault is a coincidence. Clear it and see if it come back. If it does, fit a new switch.

It's not a throttle actuator it's the anti-shudder valve. Cost about £350 from VW plus fitting. It can be bought cheaper from a motor factor. Make sure they check the fan fuse as this often blows at the same time.

Light on means you have an emissions related fault code stored so you have to run a fault code scan to find out what it is.

You have to get a fault code scan.

How hard is it to replace the engine speed sensor (g28) we have a 1.9tdi new shape 55reg ? In theory it's easy, in practice it may not be. Look just above the gearbox where the gearbox joins the engine. Its in the end of the crankshaft (sort of) at the end of the cylinderhead but lower down. Troubl...

The injector problem is only for Pd 2.0 engines not 1.9's which use different injectors. B6 passats are expensive to run if they go wrong but so are many modern cars. Main problems are electric parking brake and steering column locks.

No such thing as audi sourced engine. They are just engines that the VAG group use.

I need the part number for the spring in the storage units either side of the hazard light. Its something like a tongue which coils up to push the coin holder out. My head is fried looking for these. I only need the springs so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be F%$£ing ...

Probably one of the motors is starting to fail. Stop using the epb and get a scan done. If you don't, you risk damaging the epb control module which is expensive. It could just be a failing switch which is a cheap and simple swap so you could try that first.
