I have a 2005 highline pd 130 bhp mine doesn't have wood or cruise control..............
However they could of possible been an optional extra the first registered keeper paid to have.....
Cruise Control Yes But Wood

sorry for the late reply yes the terminals from the car not the battery.

don't know exactly what it does but I had the same problem and a lad told me to do it and it worked.

if you have a faulty switch and on the bonnet catch ( the ecu doesn't register the bonnet being opened) the car will not ...

It Could be a faulty oil senser OR a faulty micro switch in the bonnet catch.

Trying disconeect the live and earth of the battery and using a set of jump leads connect one of the jump leads to the earth and the same colour jump lead but other end onto the live.

so simply what your doing is ...

Thanks for the heads up guys

I might wait a little longer see if any turn up and if not just buy a set and hope they are ok

well unless I get impatient in the meantime

Thanks T

Its trying to find a OE set them and im defo not going to vw coz I have a feeling they will be expensive

Thanks
Yeah I know I need loom and switch, prob be able to make a loom myself.

its more the fitting quality on them grills and foglights that's concerning me, as they are prob copies and not genuine

As above what do you think as I cant find anyone on here breaking a Passat with fog lights already in.

The garage haven't had a chance to look at it but went into limp again the other day so thought I would plug vagcom in again to see what came up this time and the following came up

16688/P0304/000772 - Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected :((

Think with all other problems im having could be an engine ...

yum yum, antifreeze is a known mixer for people that want to get rid of their partners...
I would avoid the taste test, these are toxic fluids after all.
if the oil is black i wouldn't worry, for peace of mind get a leak sown test carried out, should cost too much as it only takes less than an hour ...

if your oil cooler was faulty the oil would be cream sludge, as it would if the head gasket was gone.
With just a little in the breather pipe i would not be concerned at all. Is the car driven short distances regularly? this is a classic sign for that.
if it is in the breather only dont panic. if ...

The smoke is defo NOT unburnt diesel if left to idle for a short time then revved up if I dash to the back of the car where the smoke is it has a smell of burning oil.. plus more a blue smoke than black which you get with unburnt diesel.

I might see if I can find someone local to me who can maybe ...

At a guess I would say its the pipe from the turbo going to the metal intercooler pipe along the bottom behind the bumper (one end goes into turbo connecting with a short pipe and the other end connects to intercooler throught another short rubber pipe)

would a faulty oil cooler cause the coolant to mix with the oil ?

not sure what head was removed for and am I right in thinking a leak test is done by pouring water into the rings so therefor head will need to be removed?

would I be right in thinking it may be the head gasket leaking, and going from compression test results would I be right in thinking it could be from cylinders 2 & 3 and with it only been down slightly could indicate just a small leak?????? :???: :???:

Acording to the service book with the car the ...

Yes it uses a few small amount every now and then (with no obvious sign of leaks anywhere)

Pop the turbo intake pipe off and check for play on the shaft

There should be a little left and right , up and down play but NO in and out play

It also could be worth removing the boost pipe coming off the turbo to see how much oil in it

There wi be some dude to the crank case breather feeding ...

Thanks for that will have a look at them at the weekend.

Shame there isn't a way of testing them

FINALLY!!!! someone with the exact same smoking issues as me!

my pd130 does exactly the same thing, the only thing mine does that you haven't said is when i ass a little bit of throttle at slow speeds to go up a slight hill, i get clouds of blue smoke, but its only at very low boost, as soon as i ...

It does have a whistle which i think people have described as a police siren tone at very little rev on and off you can hear it it also has a whine not the more the turbo it getting used. So not sure if this makes it too far gone too replace at home

Thanks for that now just whether to get my turbo reconned or just buy a new one

What is na engine?

And a little on start up but mainly when idling at lights or if warmed up and just left it ticking over for a few mins then put your foot to the floor you get a cloud of blue smoke ot used to be quite a lot but not as much now as before it was a lot of heavy blue smoke but now ...

I presume that this is a TDi engine? In which case 40 psi difference is fine. See ... http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/b5/glow-plug-removal-passat.htm ... If it was a petrol then that difference would be a bit dodgy. But I guess at those pressures your plugs would have blown themselves out ...
