Thanks for your input. I only have the small dust caps on each wheel but I have today seen on the internet that there some monitoring devices that affix to each wheel that replace the small dust caps. I presume these are wireless ? :-?? At present in the car I only have the fault code and dash ligh...

Since I replaced my automatic B6 Highline estate for a manual B6 Highline estate, I have a warning light on the dash indicating a tyre pressure problem. I have replaced both front tyres and checked pressures (both OK). I tried to remove the fault code without success and I can't see any unusual wir...

Was your battery AGM or EFB? I was over in the usa a few weeks back. It sat at the airport for a week. It did start instantly. When it was in getting the clutches done some months back they claimed they had to jump start it. Last winter the stop start was very limited and when it did work the engin...

Report him to VOSA. MOT testers are not allowed to interfere with anything during the test, they have to assess the vehicle as presented by you. They are not allowed to replace things like bulbs, disconnect anything, top up fluids etc, they have to do that after the test, not before. Same goes for d...

Funnily enough it’s been doing that for the past 2-3 years. AGM’s die a very slow death compared to normal batteries. You are right time to replace. There’s a France/Belgium/Amsterdam road trip coming up in September. Is your battery original? It was until November last year, when it died being sat...

I'd say time to replace the battery before you start to get the phantom electrical issues (such as fault codes for things that don't actually need attention). I got mine from Tayna.co.uk, cheaper than Halfords and EuroCarPrats. Will need coding in after replacement but an easy job. My old B7 is sti...

Are you sure there's oil in there? apart from the sludge, that looks bone dry!

I think it has cameras below the wing mirrors too?

Thanks again maclee. Never knew any of this about the compressor and was told the Passat unit needed a pressurised system to operate, and if it didn’t have any pressure it would just spin and the clutch wouldn’t engage. As you will see from these, fairly generic photos, that is the case with the ea...

Hi, A first time VW owner, I just bought a B8 estate, late 2019 with the 2.0 EVO engine and DSG auto. The car is ex-lease/auction, with a partial service history, so will be looking at what servicing & TLC it needs to be a reliable drive for the next few years. I know it was previously serviced...

It has a bulb check on DRLs. Unless you are using a load resistor, it may give a warning like this.

You can code out the bulb check with VCDS

Fuse box for the interior is behind the glovebox

I didn't have to code when i did by old B7, so i think you'll be fine in your B6 since it doesn't have stop/start

If you don't have a DSG, then there's only one thermostat.

Pop your reg in https://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts/cooli ... thermostat and it'll list the right one for you.

Classic symptom of a failed thermostat

I'm using an Auxito set in my B8, no bulb errors

As I would like another key, I was quoted around $1300 from my local VW dealer. Couldn't believe how much they wanted. I could possibly get a new key through my insurance but I'm not sure what my excess is so I had a look online and found quite a few second hand keys. So my question is assuming the...

01314 Engine control module P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 or Single Sensor P0627 Fuel Pump A Control Circuit/Open It's throwing up different ones but this in the main ones Post up the rest of the codes. Something elsewhere may be a cause. At least with all codes ...

Strangely I'm able to start the car with the remote placed next to the steering wheel The system is designed to do this incase the battery in the fob dies. When you press the buttons on the remote, does a red led illuminate on the top right of the lock button? If not, you've either got a flat batte...

Hold the key fob next to the steering column. There's a key symbol where it needs to be held. This will stop the alarm and allow you to start the car. Change the battery in the key fob, then turn on the ignition (no start) with the fob on the column. Once on, press the lock button on the remote 5 ti...

Nice one.

Thank you https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/p/pagid-brake-pad-101442108 https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/p/pagid-brake-pad-101442088 https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/p/pagid-wear-sensor-106440278 You don't need the last item on your list. The front pads come with a sensor already. But seriously, Order ...
