MFSW was an option on the B6 Sport, only the late 2009/2010 cars got it when the steering wheel changed in design.
Could have been changed after at the dealer.

My car had the following added:
Leather with heated seats at £1600
18" Chicago wheels at around £400
Sunroof at around £400
Rcd510 at around £400
Metallic paint but that I would not count has an option.

To be fair I think their pricing is assuming the egr is at the back of the engine bay. I think some are! I really want to do it myself to save some money and see if the original unit can last for a bit longer. Worst case scenario I get a new one and job done. If my local garage offers me a good pric...

Hi Chrisdut. What do you mean by the full egr system? Do you replace the cooler? Anything else? Can I ask you how many screws there are on the egr? I had a look in the dark and I can see two at the bottom of the unit and three to the manifold. My local vw dealer wants 4 hours just to change the egr ...

I also meant to ask. If I replace the egr myself will I need any coding to get it running? Is it as simple change and go. I guess i will need to reset the current error code. Thank you in advance

Hello all. In recent weeks a few of us have been getting the coil light coming up, some for different reasons. Mine came up late last week and the car went into limp mode. Seb and member of the forum very kindly scannedy car and the EGR n18 with code p0403 came up and the only error. I have a photo ...

We had a Porsche Cayman at work where the original contract was 3 years and 30k. Car came back on time and within 30k. We sold the car to a dealer who called us back with a gearbox problem. We took the car back and sent to our porsche dealer. Well well, they came back and the ecu came out with some ...

Thank you. I have sent you a pm with my number to arrange if you can make it.

WBC? If you are can we arrange something?

Hello all. I hope someone may be able to help. My car decided to give me some trouble. Before I check around the forum I wanted to check if any of you may be able to help me with a vcds scan? Im based in Newbury but depending how far you are I can drive. I got the EML and coil light constantly on my...

The highline selling point is the leather but with standard style seats. You don't get the sport seats the nicer wheels or even the climate control as per the sport. For your money I think you can get a nice example of either trims on a 06 or 07 plate with 80kplus. There plenty of them around so don...

The bigger ones are those you mentioned. Most should have had te recall on the injectors. Just make sure you get one with many options fitted. This will ensure when it comes to sell it you will get more people looking. There are plenty of b6s around. Good luck

To my knowledge the engine block does go pop but I'm sure someone on here will give you full details. If you are happy to get a high mileage 2.0tdi cr then go for it. Otherwise get a 1.9 or a mint b5.5. I will be selling my car soon but only when I found a replacement, which has been hard. Otherwise...

All depends what mileage you are after. If you decide to get a 2.0 tdi cr which in most cases are late 2008 cars with the sport trim, then 4k will get you a high mileage. You could get the 1.9tdi at any age, I think the bxe engine code is the one to avoid. Where are you based?

Why change to a b7? If your car is good please keep it. The b7 is a facelift Over the b6. The b7 interior over a pre 2009 b6 has some key changes but mainly buttons and clock. A b6 from 2010 has the same interior including clocks and steering wheel as the b7. Personally I would not pay that much mor...

Did he turn up at yours? If it guess messy just call the police to ensure he doesn't get any ideas. I have bough a car where I had to spend £1000 within days, it was my fault for not having a good look.

I upgraded to Philips bulbs, for some reason I can't remember their name but made a big difference. Worth the £18 if searched online.

When you hold your wiper stalk and get water on the windscreen you should get water sent to the lights. Some cars only happens on the 3rd or 4th spray. If ou still get nothing it could be a fuse. My old mondeo had a common issue when the fuses for the headlight washer went wrong on icy weather to av...

Easy one to be fair. With te money you have I would get a late b5.5, simples. If you want a b6 then you need 5k to get something decent

I have some sport 3's on my car and they are pretty good. I had had Dunlop sports before and they were good and very quite.

I love the fact no one uses the official figures for the b6! I use 36 at the front and 38 on the rear. I also think it's also depends on the tyres fitted, some tyres need more or less pressure to perform at its best.

Not on any se or sport up 2009. Not sure if the final 2010 models got it.

My car has the following factory options- 18" Chicago wheels, rcd510, leather interior with heated seats and electric sunroof. Accordig to the original invoice those options came to around £3000.
Would love to get Bluetooth and cruise but not a good handyman like some.

Please don't take it personal, but touch wood you only had one bad experience with your car. Sadly there are others on here which have had several problems which in most cases pre CR engines. And for those the problems are very common which this site is very useful for future buyers or checking thei...

Many posts from Holopyte are just negative without being constructive. Goes on how amazing his old a4 was and how bad the passat is. I understand that we all can have a bad experience and should be expressed on here when they have a problem or when people ask for overviews. Some take this opportunit...
