I plan to keep my car as long as possible as even with a possible £2000 scrappage scheme I wouldn't be able to afford a brand new car.

Verrry nice

What size pipes to order to replace?

There is no blanking plates attached. I checked all the hoses and they are all fine none clogged up or split. Could it be the valve that activates the egr valve? How could I check this item?

I purchased a Passat 1.9tdi 4motion on a 04 plate in Mar 2017. Since purchase the engine management light has always been on though no power issues and never gone into limp mode. The code returns as p0401 which I thought would be the EGR valve which I replaced 2 days ago and deleted the fault code f...

Replaced EGR valve engine check light now has finally gone, looped the brake sensor cable so that check light has gone as well, loads of meat left on pads just sensor playing up

Well came back from abroad drove light came on again. Took both front wheels of and using a bit of wire closed the loops for both sides. Light has gone of hopefully no more false brake pad light warning.

Oh dear seen my area rating is E* I suppose that would have something to do with it

6 yrs ago I was only paying 200 quid for a 2.5tdi Quattro sports. It's just a bit infuriating

I got my car insurance renewal through the post today and was horrified that it had more than doubled. It had gone from £358 per annum to renewal price £850 my eyes nearly popped out my head as I spluttered on my cuppa. Clean license 17yrs no claims etc driving 25yrs. I phoned them and they said the...

Even if a scrappage scheme came into play offering £2500 I still wouldn't be able to afford a brand new car. I bought my tdi 4motion have done majority of the work to it runs well yet I know selling it won't being much. Surely it's more cost effective for people to reuse cars rather than car compani...

Welcome it's a great forum with wealth of information

Welcome dude

Car has been parked up for past two weeks and I'm away for another two so if same issue arrises then I'll check the other side.

Removed ns wheel and the connection was loose properly reconnected light is off now so hopefully sorted. Thanks to everyone.

Shall bear that in mind

Yeah thinking it is the wiring rather than anything else as the light went off then a short time later came on and now off again for over half an HR. Will take wheel of and have a look at wiring

When I turn ignition on a warning message "check brake pads" comes on. However I've checked brake pads front and rear and they seem absolutely fine. Is there a wear sensor I need to be aware of ? I've checked brake fluid level that also is fine.

Welcome dude

What Passat is it?

Nice job so far

Nice car same colour as mine but you have all the toys and leather you lucky Sod

Paid £170 in March this year

I had the same issue last month where I actually flattened the battery cranking it over. As one member states cranking short bursts works. I placed my battery on charge during full day and night and then refitted. I then just kept cranking on short bursts and it did fire up eventually. I know it sou...

I went in Auto trader was looking at another 4motion 1.9tdi and saw that in the performance section road tax was £240 instead of the £170 I paid for the year. The co2 is 178 which falls into £240 annual road tax unless I'm totally reading it wrong
