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...

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 ...

Thanks mrderv Pics show a sensor on the front pads and the fitment detail says wear indicator is integrated so I shouldn’t need the separate sensor 👍 Fronts have a sensor, Pagid pads include it. Rear pads are a multi-fitment across a huge range of cars, so if the pic shows the sensor, it will be ge...

Sorry I missed the info above from Thursday and Saturday on the brakes and discs, so thank you for that both of you Also the Pagid front brake pads I’ve ordered look like they have sensors on them and the rear ones do not look like they have any. On the carparts4less and eurocarparts websites they ...

YOu may be worth asking the question on the RossTech forum then

Don't think there is any component protection on them. Pre-tensioners might be an issue, not sure if these are in the belt reel, or on the buckle on the seat

Skip eurocarparts and order through Halfords online. Pagid discs and pads far cheaper than eurocarprats even with their discount code.

For the rear brakes, i would find a set of TRW pads. I tried eicher and pagid pads on the rear, but they were loose fit in the carriers, and TRW were a perfect fit.

Right - probably due one then as the last one was in November...

Supposed to be, don't hold me to that though.

Just had a look online, last release was 28th Nov 2022

At least every 3 months i think.

Howdy!

Replacing the fuel filter would be worth a try. My sisters Kia started limping in the freezing weather, and the fault codes showed low fuel pressure. All forum posts suggested a manky fuel filter so we replaced it and all was good again. Diesel becomes thicker as it gets colder, so if the fuel filte...
