I had success on a golf with this a while back, performed the basic settings on the flap actuator with VCDS & the clicking stopped & it functioned correctly. Not sure how long it will last but it's been going strong for over a month now :) Was easier than a dash out job! But I guess it depen...

I have a guy fixing it for £130, insurance is too expensive ;) was tempted by another door, but we shall see!

Ouch! I feel for you! Nothing worse than that scraping/crushing sound! Especially when there's nothing you can do to stop it in time
Hopefully the car will be going in on Wednesday to be done!

Tell me about it! Although I have said I might need a new door which sent her very quiet for a while ;)

They are a rare breed, you never see them move, but the damage they can inflict!

I prefer the PC version, less offensive ;)

Oh you get those as well! This is a wall that has been where it is longer than I have been alive, yet it appeared with out warning.

But of course it's my fault for having a 'big car' ;)

They get cheap insurance because its our cars they damage & we pick up the bill!
Oh & they are 'safer drivers' ;)

The guy who does my spraying is going to give it a go for mates rates, pull the dent, fill the 'light scratch' & spray!
Will post the results when he gets a free day

I remember when she doesn't drive my car now...
Not even 2 meters from where it was parked... Nice 'scratch' & a dent that travels right across the door!
Wouldn't mind so much if it was snowy/icy but it was a dry day!

Hope you get this sorted! I want to do this mod my self, can't wait to see the results

I'm liking that tool kit! Need to do that to mine

Will have to let us know how it goes ;) are you doing the remote opening/closing as well?

Has anyone done this with their B6 estate?

Copy & paste it into notepad & save it as 'filename.html'

I'll think about it ;)

The same as my book, glad I'm not going mad!

Love it! That's why I love mine, nothing annoys the boy racer type more than being beaten by a diesel estate with a dog in the back

It does make you wonder if you just add up the price of all the servicing over so many years or miles, don't bother doing any if it, save the money & buy a new engine

I know, scary thought! Although it does say to check the condition a bit more often.

How often do you guys do your oil & filter. Or fuel filter?

My book says 100,000 lol! Luckily (I think) mine was a company car before I had it, so job has been done!

I don't know unfortunately, shall check my VIN number & find out if it is in the group of chain drives. Interesting that a lot of people agree 100,000 miles is a fair bit for a can belt :p (or 120,000 on some petrol engine) Went through my service history today seeing the previous gaps between e...

Nice to see another southerner on here! welcome!

Just a question about how often you change filters, oil, belts, braces, underwear etc :) I have the 2.0TDI (BKP) & I know what it says in the book, but I'm wondering how often you guys change your various 'bits' (be it on mileage or time) to get an average. I've read on here some do the fuel/oil...

I agree with the Exeter one! Very hit & miss, it's not exactly a small place, but like a ghost town most times you go in there!

Although have had some useful help occasionally, after a while...
