It won't happen that suddenly, it will get noticeably louder before it fails.

If you are happy to accept little bit of rattling, sometimes flywheel can last like that for few more years. Just keep an eye on it, see how badly it will or will not progress. It must be at early stages if you haven't noticed it before.

Plus with single mass flywheel all vibrations from engine are directly transferred to gearbox, which again reduces gearbox lifespan.
After single mass flywheel conversation and lot people reported immediate gearbox rattling in neutral and clutch released.

Possibility it's worked loose, but can they do this without warning? When I replaced gearbox last year I didn't remove the flywheel, only the clutch needed swapping over.

Valid point as well

This engine is Euro 5B CRKB, it's quite rare and tracking down one is not easy. I'm seeing the poor service levels in the motor indUstry iup close. Has anyone given estimate to rebuild damaged engine? Most likely bottom end has no damage, usually valves get bent, so it's cylinder head rebuild with ...

Could be multiple things, clutch release bearing, gearbox itself. If clutch plate has issues usually will show up as slipping clutch.

So! Finally added Full Screen clocks. Only a small detail which doesn’t really offer much over the half screen but it’s a nice detail I think. And my half screen was going very sim around the edges. All coded into the immobiliser and eeprom coding modified to have needle sweep, Permanent backlighti...

Has anyone upgraded from factory d3 hid bulbs to the led type like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D3S-D3R-HID-TO-LED-BULB-KIT-NO-ERROR-HEADLIGHT-FOR-AUDI-A3-S3-8V-2-YR-WARRANTY-/144214999406?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Sent from my SM-G973F u...

Tayna batteries getting my vote as well, next day delivery and cheaper than elsewhere. Bought yuasa silver last year, never had any problems with it.

Flipping heck I hope not. I've purchased a test kit anyway so can test when it arrives next week. Would it not be losing fluid or blowing white smoke of it eat hard gasket?

Blown head gasket 99%. In short words, compression getting pushed into cooling system, that's causing airlock usually in heater core hoses, because they are highest point in cooling system, airlock stops coolant flow, that's why you get no heat coming from blower. Should have quite hard coolant hose...

Most likely you some how will need to get to the bottom of this problem. Because if auto headlight levelling is fitted from factory, it must work on MOT test, otherwise it's a test failure. Good luck with getting it sorted.

Calm down... So you know there will be no errors? I will do a scan. I can try disconnecting both headlights but would rather fix than fudge. More effort for both lights than sensor? Also seems likely to be a bad connection because of warning, then not bobbing up and down. As if sensor disconnected ...

Bloody hell, why you keep disconnecting sensors, but don't disconnect actual hight leveling motors in headlights? It will stop self leveling for sure.

Or get it fault scanned, might be it will show where's the problem.

International shortage of ECU. Getting broken too often, supplier can't manage to produce them. Just joking

Hopefully it's a week's questions to get it supplied from Germany, if no branches have it in UK.

I can confirm the alternator bearing is working as it should but the sound came back with a vengeance. I did notice it wasn’t happening all the time on full lock just most of the time. I think I’m going to have to wait until the actual part breaks down or worse still take it to a garage. Lol Cv joi...

I replaced one a few years ago, took the old one apart and cleaned up the contacts, refitted and took the replacement one back. Simples. All it is is copper contacts that get furred up over time.

Dirty contacts shouldn't turn brake lights on randomly thought.

That does not bode well! Howver I see many advertised that have covered over 250k miles and still going, surely that label would fall into all the vag group of cars? Unless passat is the only car with ecm exposed to the elements? I know one b7 2.0tdi over 150000 miles and running without any issues...

Why not to get proper b5.5 Passat springs? Remember they are all different between various engines and saloon and estate. Taking springs from different car even if they fit in place, still might cause car sitting too high or too low due to different weights on axles. Better get in touch with suppli...

Well the car broke down on the service manager from AC this morning on his way to work! Car was recovered back to VW, at this point I'm being offered a full refund, the only similar car in AC stock is 2 grand more! Looks like we might end up without a car unless VW can pin point the issue! But I wo...

Now that sounds quite shitty. Could be ECU related, and you don't know when it will fail again.

But did they agree there's a problem with car or they said that everything is fine?

Definitely been clocked back.
