If the mechanism is making a noise but not operating, it suggests some kind of failure has occurred of what are almost certainly, (being a modern car), inadequate plastic bits! As far as I can tell for a 2015 car the fuel flap mechanism is all in one plastic box, (see diagram): fuelfiller.png The pa...

Blower/resistor issue.

I forgot to say that a constricted pollen filter may also cause the thermal fuse to fail as there could be insufficient cooling air flowing over the resistor, so check the filter and replace if necessary.

Heater fan issue is likely to be a failed resistor and often it is positions 1 and 4 that are the only settings that work. You'll need to replace it (located behind the glove box or to the right of the passenger foot well from memory). They often go on Passats at the point that the motor brushes we...

You could try asking Michelin themselves and see if they offer an explanation - assuming they answer at all that is.... many companies these days seem to just ignore their customers.

Afternoon everyone, just joined the site thought id say hello. recently purchased a b3 currently repainting it and tidying it up before i put on the road so may need some help and advice. cheers matty Hello. The B3/B4 in my opinion were the right balance of older and newer technology, modern enough...

I suspect that the LEDs are probably a part of the actual headlight assy, and not a replaceable part. Not certain, but I think that the DRLs are switched off when the indicator is on, in which case it could possibly be a fault related to the indicator that is switching the DRL off, though I concede ...

Are you certain that your car has original headlights, or is it possible they are aftermarket (perhaps a different design)?

Are there any part numbers on the headlights?

If you can upload your car's year and a photo or two it might help.

I placed a post in the 'Other VAG' forum to see if anyone can advise about matching my remote key to the car. I hope no-one minds me placing a mention of it in this forum (as my car is a 1999/2000 year, so about the time of the B5/B5.5). Not everyone looks at the 'Other VAG' forum, and I just wonder...

Not specific to your case, but a general comment based on my experience of buying a car battery on-line. I cannot remember the name of the company from which I made the purchase, and anyway, this was not a problem of their creation, but one of circumstances. The battery I bought from them had a five...

The outer part of that arrangement has an internal flange through which the plastic pipe (smaller diameter) is pushed. Assuming that there are no splits in any of that pipework there should ne no need to add any sealant. The foam surround is not a water seal, more likely it is there as an any-rattle...

Hi guys, My O/S headlight bulb has gone! I thought it would a be simple change...looks like I need the whole bumper off! is this correct? any advice would be great!!! I do not have any experience of your particular car, but usually it is just a case of removing a plastic cover from the back of the ...

1999/2000 SEAT Toledo, (same sort of age at the B5/B5.5 Passat). I need the advice of a professor of keys!! A few weeks ago, while away on holiday, the remote function of the (one) remote key stopped working. This did not and does not affect the immobiliser... everything works fine with the key blad...

To identify the correct heater matrix for these cars may require the VIN as there can be variations beyond just the name Valeo or Denso. In some cases this is further complicated by the LHD/RHD situation. In case it helps, here are some photos to show the basic difference between the two makes of ma...

The heater matrix is where this stuff seems to gather most readily, so if you are going to flush the entire system, (as seems very wise), and you can do so without the water passing through the heater, (having flushed it independently), it seems an excellent idea to me. In fact, if you can disconnec...

Not sure that this applies to your car as I think it might only be newer models, but it is worth mentioning as it takes only a moment to check. Have a look at your coolant reservoir, (this assumes you still have the factory fitted item). Does it have the words 'mit silikat' on it, - usually near to ...

From parts illustration: AC drain is item 31A - (check this carefully for cracks in the plastic that can also allow water to escape) Drain valve is 31B - 1H0820119 (Google image search will give plenty of illustration of this item) drain.png Image from golf, but will be similar if not identical.... ...

Extracts from here, (Golf 7): https://www.volkswagenforum.co.uk/threads/mk7-no-hot-air.38316/ ....Your car is built on what is known as the MQB platform and all the cars built on this platform uses the same heater matrix, it has now become an annual ritual that when the weather gets cold, we get cal...

My 1999 SEAT has gone through a few front springs in her time, due in no small measure to the appalling roads around this area! In the past I have had the springs changed individually, all the time that I could obtain genuine SEAT/VW springs at a reasonable cost. I know it is not ideal to just chang...

Does your coolant reservoir have the words 'mit silikat' on it? If it does, you may find that you can have this fixed by a dealer at reduced, or possibly no cost, (possibly by flushing the matrix or possibly by replacing it). Do not get your hopes up too much, but it is worth asking before you do an...

Good luck with it. For future reference, if you need a part number, it will help a lot if you can quote the engine code for your car as VW differentiate almost all parts by the engine code, (except gearbox parts when they use the gearbox code). You will find the engine code on the sticker inside the...

I used that part number to search for images on ebay and Google and the images I found suggest that the seal is a part of the cover, and the cover appears to have a sealing medium around its periphery, (see photos from an ebay listing). Suggest you contact the seller to confirm this is the case and ...

Good luck with it, hope the part fits perfectly. No need to apologise about the RHD/LHD thing. RHD is logically the default for this website, but I take nothing for granted any more!! Also, there are some visitors from mainland Europe and occasionally the USA or Canada, hence my checking. Best of lu...

I am assuming when you say 'offside' you are referring to a RHD car. I cannot speak from experience, but the part numbers suggest they are not. Saloon (Sedan in the parts listing) parts start 3C5 whereas the Estate items start 3C9. Saloon: 3C5945096H Right outer. 3C5945096K Right outer, tinted, R36,...
