The colours of the paint bands on your spring appear to be 1x grey and 1x blue. If that is correct the part number is 8D0411105CS - the CS at the end of the part number equates to the spring with that colour combination. You will probably have trouble finding such an elusive object anywhere other th...

Parts diagram attached, (I hope I have identified the correct part!)



To identify the part numbers for your car will require the gearbox code (NOT the engine code).

I cannot visualise precisely what you mean as I do not have such a car, but it sounds as if it is 'just' a case of the locating lugs having broken from within the end caps. If that is so, could you perhaps drill through the end caps at the location of the lugs, and then use self-tapping screws or th...

I think you may be better off waiting for your AC guy to be restocked with the UV leak tracer... it may save you a lot of work!! Under average conditions the low side of the AC (when in use) is at about 30psi and the high side is usually over 100psi, (I believe 150-250 is more usual, depending on th...

According to the parts listing the numbers for your car (2010 model, engine code CBBB) are: Item 4. 3C0820743BT Item 5. 3C0820721R Item 6. 3C0820741AJ If you have any doubts, and before spending any amount of money, please check this with a dealership parts dept. Finding a leak without access to the...

Can you clarify the following: 1. The year of your car. 2. Your engine code. 3. Which of these AC line are you looking for? (see diagram - ilcats ) A. Compressor to condenser (item 5) B. Condenser to evaporator (item 6) C. Evaporator to compressor (item 4) For clarity, the condenser is the item fitt...

Search ebay for: 3C0 820 741 AJ Critically, the third digit is the number 0 (zero), NOT the letter O. You can sometimes increase the number of hits by removing the spaces in the part number, in this case making it 3C0820741AJ. There are several used examples and even a full-price new one listed at t...

Let me start by saying that I know little about Diesels, and nothing about taxi engines. You said you are losing coolant but have nothing to suggest the mixing of coolant and engine oil, so have concluded it is leaking past the head gasket and into one or more of the combustion chambers. Is that an ...

A long shot... but is it just possible that the thing you need is item 17 in this diagram?



If so, the part number is 3AA121330

I had to replace broken springs on my SEAT recently and could not locate the originals at a sane price, so I opted for *Febi-Bilstein springs ('for cars with sports suspension'), and they seem fine. That said, I have read so many threads here saying that Eibach springs are excellent that I have no r...

Not sure if this was included in the other fitting guides, apologies it is was.

One of the many part numbers for the front, left latch on a RHD car is 3B2837015AK if that helps. If you follow the advice from 1.9Tdi you will not go far wrong, but you will be wise to double-check with the seller when you order. There are many reasons for the plethora of part numbers. Obviously th...

Taking care to not damage the panel / paintwork, try pushing down on the bonnet in the area of the latch, and while you are pushing down, have someone else pull on the bonnet release. As they continue to pull on the bonnet release, see if the bonnet will now lift. Do not pull excessively on the rele...

That cover on the B5/B5.5 is not removable with the key, in the way it is on later cars (B6 onwards).

There are several threads in the B5 & B5.5 forum about his kind of problem, which is usually caused by a defective door latch assembly.

Can you post your engine code here as that is what is used in most cases to identify specific parts.

Also, confirm that yours is a 2008 model.

General opinion here is to avoid Circoli thermostats as they appear to have a shorter life than might be considered ideal.

So if you can find someone who could weld it for you, you would be happy with that?

If so, it might be worth stating your approximate location in case someone here knows of someone there who may be able to assist.

Just a thought.

I do not doubt that for a moment.

Sadly, long gone are the days when VW deserved a reputation for being as loyal to its customers as they were/are to it.

It is now just another, slick and faceless, mega-corporation.

Check your VW anti-perforation warranty.... no promises, but you may find you are still covered by it.

Just spotted this on ebay. I have no idea at all if it will fit your car, so please check with the seller first. The seller is in Lithuania, but apparently the item is in the UK. If that is the case you might avoid import and customs charges and delays, (resulting from Brexit), but again, check with...

My middle box bracket has broken on my Estate and I am not finding someone who can weld it for me! Do you mean that it is repairable but you just cannot find anyone who can weld it for you, or that you do not want it welded / that it is not repairable? I do not know anything about 'free flow' exhau...

No need for any concern on your part. The diagram I used is from the parts illustration for, (virtually), all versions of the car, (of that year). If you look closely, (which I grant is not easy give the amount of compression I had to apply to get the file small enough to attach here), you will see ...

From your info that harness is part number 3C0927903C, which appears to have been superseded by 3C0927903L. Item 9 on this diagram (includes items 13 & 16): harness.png There are some 3C0927903L listed on ebay at around £70 inc delivery. Be aware though, that the sellers are in Latvia/Lithuania,...

A chirping noise is perfectly normal if the steering is held at against the end stop, at full lock (with the engine running). So long as the noise stops when the steering is released from its end stop there is no need for concern, (assuming there are no other symptoms of course). This is from the po...

The wires in the car's harness are probably made of aluminium, (cheaper than copper), sometimes with a thin copper coating. Aluminium cannot be soldered with ordinary solder, it requires a different flux and alloy, (containing Silver), and a higher temperature than is required of ordinary solder. Yo...
