got a second hand hub and changed it, problem sorted
literally could not undo the hub bolt in the old one! even had a large scaffold tube on it, could not get i to move, not sure why!

Almost certainly you need a new rear hub assembly, if the bearings shot the wobble will stuff the reading from the wheel speed sensor. Afaik the b6 is like the b5.5 and its almost as cheap to replace the rear hub assembly as it is to spend labour and parts doing the bearing. I suspect you should al...

Well, was it a pothole or was it the edge of the road? If pothole it's the traffic authority's responsibility If edge of road then it'd be where the road ends and the adjacent private land begins Passing point laybys are the traffic authorities' responsibility Did you change two speed sensors or on...

i guess the standard avf clutch must be able to take a bit more then if it can be used no issues with 4wd box

it is a 2008 140 b6
yer will have to have a closer look at the hub assembly to see if theres anything obvious,
well it was the edge of a country road, where it has a big drop off and is jagged, not sure whether could claim for that tbh?

thanks
is the 240mm clutch the same for fwd and 4wd?

My mum hit a pothole the other day, she broke the 2 nearside alloy wheels and as if that wasn't bad enough, there is now a fault with the car. We are getting a fault code 00290 - rear left wheel speed sensor faulty signal intermit and 01316 ABS control unit - check fault codes- intermittent Changed ...

Does anyone have figures for avf standard clutch? just wondering what they can realistically cope with torque wise, thanks

oh right, do you have a link for the other socket and the dac? thanks

A while back i installed the diy 3.5 jack for aux in on my 2002 b5.5 passat. It works, however you have to turn the volume up ridiculous amounts to get any sound and the quality isn't the best. Have i done something wrong? or is it a faulty jack from maplins? cd changer still works and sound quality...

I was reading through this only yesterday, great How-To :-bd However I think if I do mine, I will feed the socket through to the cubby under the armrest, that way I can hide the cable and the ipod etc and keep the dash clean. I can also have a socket on the end of a lead if wanted, instead of it be...

I did this a while ago on my 2002 passat, it works, however you have to turn up the volume soooo loud on the gamma unit to hear anything from your aux in. By that time the sound quality is not the best and there is some interference from engine, not sure if the socket is at fault or i've done someth...

my original switch was working perfectly, i changed it anyway, still exactly the same,
and like i said, if i'm using cruise control i can't get the fault to come up, it's weird

00526 - Brake Light Switch (F): Implausible Signal

but the switch is definitely good,

i think its something else causing it to throw that code, but not sure what could do it?

yes i might have to go back through it, but i was thinking, if there were wires incorrectly placed surely the cruise control would not work?
My cruise works perfectly since installing it,

Hi everyone, after i installed cruise control on my car i have had esp issues, now the esp button does not turn it on or off if i drive for a little bit usually on a straighter road, the esp light will come on the fault that comes up is brake light switch fault however i have replaced this and check...

Hi all,
Is there any way i can remap this myself?
what do i need etc?
i have a cable that i used on my b5.5 tdi along with a blacksmoke remap
thanks

My parents have had a 2008 passat 2.0 tdi bkp for the last few years and ever since they have had it it has never really given very good mpg figures at all. The car all ran fine etc, and i have asked the question a few times before as to why it was happening, tried lots of the suggestions but to no ...

234k ish :P i know the guy who had it before me and it had a new camshaft fitted before but yer might be worth a look at reseting them. If I got anywhere near 650 miles out of a tank I'd be over the moon, the best I've ever had is about 500 from mine!!! It's a 130 sport wagon, black smoke remap and ...

Hi all, just wanted to give an update, Found one injector was providing a reading on vcds and was not moving at all, so swapped it out Also coolant temp sensor appeared to be fine, it was showing what appeared to be correct temp on the climatronic and also the dash, however on vcds for example, it w...

Hi all. Had this problem a while, i beleive its since i fitted cruise control The esp light will come up on the dash randomly and will reset only by switching ignition off then on, when this happens, it comes up as 'brake light switch fault intermitent' however i know this is not faulty and i even c...

cheers for response, is running cheap tyres like my b5.5, thinking this may be part of the issue, both cars are running 225/40/18,

the temperature gauge is reading fine, sits steady at 90.

starting to think it might be down to my tyres on my wheels now, they are real budget tyres, nee dto swap wheels over and see if it make sa difference

sounds good!

is the sound quality good through all the means of playing? thanks

18" amg alloy wheels, however ive been running them for years and theyve been fine. the poor economy actually started up last year, but just been putting up with it, but it seemed to just happen all of a sudden. in the summer and winter there doesnt seem to be much of a differnce, i am based on...
