Rang VW today who suggested electromagnetic switch on the waterpump. Will see what mechanic says tomorrow

Plenty of fuses. They all seem ok but no list of what's what

Thanks for the reply. Everything else seems to be working Ok. I mention the fan as normally when I stop the engine and get out of the car you can hear it working overtime. I haven't noticed that. Just seems really bizzare. Wouldn't the sensor always be an issue though?

Normal driving on both occasions. Can't hear the fan when I've stopped driving like I normally can but finding it odd that's it's maintaining temperature of 90c after the initial overheating even when I give it some

I had them in my old car and liked them. Really good for the kids

So car overheated yesterday and said switch off engine immediately. Turned it off let it cool and carried on for it to be fine the rest of the day. Same has happened today. Tried to find the fuse for the fan but manual is useless. Has anyone got any suggestions before I call the garage tomorrow. Tha...

First thing to look out for- at that mileage it should've had the gear box oil and filter done twice.

Obviously check other service records too.

Could be wrong but I think it'll be due a few more things at that mileage to like water pump maybe?

Hopefully others will be able to advise you further.

That's really terrible. Good luck with the new motor whatever you get. Any ideas?

I can definitely recommend carista. Good adapter and good app. Allows some customisations with the car too

Welcome.

Is the cutting out the car stalling or is it start/stop trying to kick in the failing in some way? I want to say I've experienced this but to be honest I've disabled my start/ stop and I really don't like it with the dsg gear box.

I'd seen that. Not a good experience for you at all!

Cheers. Ended up booking into VW as my local garage couldn't recommend anyone

I've always found YouTube useful for these things. Only done my running lights to be honest

No, booked in for Monday. Certainly not neglecting that

Answered my own question by ringing VW. Yes it does need doing at 40k. Can't see any mention in the service book annoyingly

I'd second osram nightbreakers

Hi all,

So car needs a service and done just over 40k miles. Service book has no information at all about what should be included. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

It's a DSG so more thinking about does that need a service? Seen somewhere that it might.

Cheers

Incredibly well done avoiding that. Very lucky!

It didn't seem to

Yes. Used to use sport in the summer on setting 3 I think. Then eco in the winter which still removed any lag.

Sport+ mode was bloody mental!

They're brilliant. Had one on my old insignia from DTUK. 160 diesel and had to use eco mode in winter otherwise was almost constant wheel spin.

Haven't got one in the Passat mind you because it doesn't feel as bad as the insignia was.

Is the SD card reader not in the glove box. My 17 plate B8 has that.

Android auto negates the need in my opinion. Button even works with Android auto.
