Weird question to ask, But here goes. Are there any kits on the market to raise ( make the seat higher ) the seat frame to make the seat higher than standard when the seat adjuster is at it`s highest ? I am reluctant to sell my 2004 passat estate 130bhp Avf engine which has done 200k miles,as it has...

Hope you got sorted !!

..... no problem craig, thanx for your help anyway m8.

Hi to the guys that haven given me advice, the problem has now been resolved...……. and for any one in the future, this maybe of help. on the relay board under the dash, are x2 20amp fuses at the bottom of the board, BUT at the very top is a lonely 20amp hiding ( away bit fiddly to get to ) I took ou...

Hi dave_1, tried that fuse location but there is no contacts in there for the fuse, thanks

All the power sockets in my 2004 sport tdi estate 130bhp,work, EXCEPT the 1 in the rear of the centre console, I have checked fuse 33, which is obviously intact as the others work, I have checked the 2 20amp ones on the relay board ( drivers side behind lower panel ) which are also intact, I have ch...

I also have same problem, Just checked the afore mentioned fuses, ( still intact ) so as yet mine is still inoperative.

Thanks every1 for your help..... after trying 2 or 3 times to crank over with no luck, i attached a piece of clear hose to the supply pipe at the filter and sucked about a litre of diesel out. Reattached pipe, and it fired up straight away...... Lesson Learned !!!!

Not got battery charger, but got heavy duty jump leads, and a vw polo, so is it just as good using donor vehicle ??

So even though the filter is full, by turning ignition on and off repeatedly will still push fuel beyond the filter to the injectors............ sorry to sound like a numpty, just thought that by cranking the engine in short bursts would do that ??

Having fitted new fuel filter, to my 04 130 avf.... filled new filter with wot thought was sufficient fuel re-connected pipes and new back/blue o rings, on start up engine started and died, now will not restart, anybody out there with any ideas would be much appreciated........ I have done this job ...

Thanks maclee, that`s probably what i was expecting to hear, i recently had a rear lock fail so i will get the part and book it in with my local veedub specialist. Thanks again m8 !!

Left my lights on this morning, ( 2004 1.9 sport est 130bhp ) when i came back to it to go home 9 hrs later ...... flat battery, there was no bleeping with key out of ignition to say i had left my lights on, and no puddle light on. I have read some where that it could be due to a faulty micro switch...

Ijust did mine today & had the same problem,haynes manual says to use an oil filter strap which i happened to have from my mk1 golf days......and low and behold off she came.

would just like to say THANKYOU to all who tried to help with this link,It appears that the fault has been rectified by indeed fitting a 219 ECU relay, it has been a week+ with no issues ( so far....fingers crossed it stays that way ) it is a godsend for forums like this with likeminded vw enthusias...

Further to this post, ( a 219 relay has been ordered by my local vw specialist) my question is :- when the engine cuts out, the 2 yellow warning ligts that show are:- 1) ABS 2) ESP the engine will not restart until rested for 5/10 mins then when the key is turned a loud double click is heard then al...

Great stuff thanks for that , i`ll ring round to get hold of 1 tomorrow, then report back.

is there a relay nos for that ... & location( engine fuse box or interior)..... are they available only from the stealers ??

on 1 occassion green flag came out to me and the usual happened.......arrived turned the key hey presto started ( not a suprise as it was 30mins without turning it over) he plugged what i think was vagcom ( or similar ) and it came up with nothing.after a bit of fiddling and doing the paperwork i we...

Hi Dave, my mistake.....diagram in the haynes calls it an "actuator", picture i found when googled calls it an "anti shudder valve" so yes.......when the engine is running and i press it in the engine cuts out ??? assume that is normal practice.

Havn`t had the "low oil pressure" warning @ all,but having said that about the bonnet sensor, the car yet again cut out on me tonight and usually i have to wait 5-10 minutes before it will restart ( just turns over and over so have to leave it) but tonight i lifted bonnet and depressed the...

The oil light , i have been informed, on another forum is most likely sludge in the sump, so mine is off to be booked in, i did disconnect the battery for an hr or 2 re-connected and the light has gone......but that isn`t to say the problem has gone............what bothers me ore is the fact that it...

For the last month or so my 130 sport est 04reg avf engine, has had the nasty habit of cutting out ,but only while at very low speed , i.e whilst coming to a rolling stop or whilst setting off between 1st & 2nd gear.it has had the "check engine oil level" and a yellow static oil light ...

i have an `04` passat estate, the side trim along the drivers door and passenger door has been damaged,i have toyed with the idea of having it totaly removed and the holes filled and resprayed de-chroming it but have since decided that i would like to keep some trim on there,so............is it poss...
