Ne bother, happy to help

very nice, think I might have to find a copy of Elsa Win somewhere

If you still want me to post photos let me know. I can grab them whenever

ahh ideal! that pdf is a really good link to have to look and read through, i will check the youtube vid later. Thanks for that!! :mrgreen: Thanks, I try to create PDF's with all my files, also helps me remember if I forget things and have to repair stuff I'm putting my website / disclaimer in all ...

Here's the original PDF I created when I first repaired the lock

My youtube channel is in my siggy. Video name VW Door Lock Repair

the dealer does still do the parts as a "repair kit" but think you would be better getting a second hand one from a breakers yard & using the parts together with your own lock barrel, also would be cheaper :-bd Main pisser is he'll stil have to repair it anyway :P I'll find my PDF I m...

Do you have a link to your YouTube I could look at? If you could get some pics of the wiring in this area that would be great thanks! Just want to find out where this brown/red wires go to, and double check the others that have been connected by previous owners. Cheers :) Links in my signature, if ...

take your dash cluster out and try starting the car then ;) 3 days off road for no dash in car, you sure :wink: Ah sorry, misread the meaning of the original post. I know immobiliser functionality is built into the dash. For some reason I was thinking computer screen (as in head unit) faulty. Was t...

The CCM mounts directly underneath the front of the passenger seat (when it's fully slid forward) The flat surface of the CCM points upwards and if you look on the floor there's a small pin, this lines up with a notch on the CCM. There's a video on one of my youtube videos where you can see this. If...

3 days off road for no dash in car, you sure

Engine code, year of car?

Can anyone advise how to dismantle the boot lock on the Passat.

I've removed the entire central locking assembly, but can't work out how to remove the lock chamber itself from the central locking unit

Or if desperate, buy a repair kit on fleabay and DIY

Mine already is one

Is it me but i was thinking the other day about these wettest droughts on record and all these hosepipe bans, don't know what it's like for all of you in the north but down in the south for the last 60 years they have just built housing estate after housing estate infact so much so most town have d...

Yey for living up norf!

ahahaahah

damn, not that bad my way, but it still gets pretty deep in certain areas.

times like this when driving through those deep puddles (if you're actually dumb enough ) that you hope your VW isn't suffering from water ingress issues

Probably the best advice I can give. Also check out detailingworld if you're not already on there

Strange I do that too. Although I dread to think of the consequences if I hit them. usually they chicken out first though when the car is about 2 car lengths from them

Unfortunately everything is PC now, When I was going up I learned the hard way for being bad, it usually involved a belt, slipper or hand :mrgreen: I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it made me grow up respecting my elders (although some are wrist exerciser), kids will be kids, but smashe...

How come it's always the little toe, I mean the smallest thing on your foot and you always stub that one

SPeaking from experience here like many others

Can you not get a secure lockbox?

I know it's a bit extreme, but one of those bad boys would be a lot harder to carry than a simple saw

Problem is our country is too soft, need hard justice like before

Karma has a way of coming round to get them. So fingers x-d they'll try and steal a car and it will turn out to be a major drug dealers and they're killed :D My house doors are usually always locked, if someone walked in my house they'd get a sharp surprise. Pretty much look like Butterbean, and I ...
