Had a call this morning from VW, they have confirmed it is the steering lock control module and have quoted me the following: Part is (Steering Lock Control Unit) - £77.92 + VAT Labour 3.5 Hours Initial Diagnostic - £65 Total - £444.68 Does this seem about right and does this lock unit need to be...

Hi Guys, Had my worst experience yesterday with the passat. Its a 2006 2.0 TDI DSG Sport. I drove the car home 20 miles from work and stopped half a mile from home to pick a few bits up from a shop. Came back to the car within 10 minutes and it just wouldn't start, put the key in and i would get no ...

Anyone had the problem fixed at VW recently?

Surely somebody else around manchester must have this problem?

Usual steering column, not starting problem, ive had it for the past year but it seems to be doing it more often recently and is getting annoying having to wait a few minutes to get it started. Anyone know somebody who can fix it in the Manchester area? The guy in Nottingham is just too far to trave...

Engine was only run for a few seconds, it sounded as normal on idle up until you rev it slightly when it starts to over rev. It was switched off straight away. When the problem first occurred and we drained the oil, around 10 litres came out as there was a lot of diesel mixed in there. After changin...

Just had the all the pipes off the turbo and it looks perfect, nothing untoward so it looks like it is the engine after all.

No oil in any of the turbo pipes or on the exhaust tail pipes, was just really white smoke that it let out.

Still not found the cause of the diesel leak into the engine, most people are telling me its the tandem fuel pump? Is there anyway of testing this before forking out for a new one? The garage is going to get the turbo off tomorrow for me so we should hopefully know more by then. Not checked the oil ...

Changed the tandem pump gasket tonight as it looked abit messy, changed the oil and oil filter and got it running again but with the slightest bit of revs the car starts stupidly over revving itself, looks like the engine has had it to be honest.

Anyknow got a bkp engine for sale?

Definitely correct fuel in the car.

Hi Guys, Was on the M6 on Friday night when i could see lots of white smoke starting to appear from the exhaust at the back, there was traffic so i was doing around 20-30mph, didnt notice any difference in power, no overheating, no warning lights etc I probably drove it for around a mile with the wh...

Dont seem to have the battery drain issue with the above fused wire fitted in the fuse box, however the cd player resets itself back to the first track every time the car is switched off and then back on again?

Im guessing the memory isn't being saved due to the wire?

Fuel Pump changed and all good so far, will report back if the issue comes back.

Guys im after a set of the four injector rocker arms with the shaft they sit on for the 2.0 BKP Engine. Number 1 and 3 of the shafts seem to be slightly worn and im still on the hunt to cure my tappety engine sound. So far both camshafts and camshaft bearings have been changed but still no change. A...

I also did the wire in the fuse box thing last week and all seems to be fine so far.

Shame the rcd510 I fitted doesn't work with my parking sensors and display on the screen like the newer ones.

Could you elaborate on that?

Just had new cams and camshaft bearings fitted a couple of weeks ago and I'm positive something's not been done right when it was all put back together.

Could this be caused by the two pipes on the left hand side on the fuel filter being the wrong way round?

Yep recall was done about 4/5 months ago.

Injectors were only checked last week and all showed to be perfect though?

Hi guys Car is a 2.0 Tdi BKP Was on the motorway today doing a steady 60/70mph when the revs all of a sudden dropped abit and the car started slowing down, then all of a sudden again it would pick back up and go back to normal. It did this to me twice and then as soon as I came off the motorway and ...

Hi guys, I have a intermittent starting fault. Occasionally (once every week or so) when i go to start the car all the dash lights will just go crazy and start flashing oddly, some times it will start but then the glow plug light will start flashing and it will just cut out straight away. On the occ...

Guys some of you may remember a few of my posts from a few months ago about my engine sounding very tappety, il give you a quick brief: I bought the car with a knackered turbo, had a new turbo fitted and also fitted a new oil pump at the same time (even though it was fine) due to the known problems....

Guys i have a 2006 B6 with canbus number - 3C0907530C It is fitted with the usual RCD300 as standard. Now i have managed to get hold of a RCD 510, it is one of the earlier versions without DAB. Now what is the easiest and cheapest way i can make this work without any issues? Will the parking sensor ...

Guys following on from my previous threads, heres a brief reminder: - I bought a 2006 Passat Sport with the BKP engine that needed a new turbo fitting. - New Turbo was fitted, Car was serviced and started up for the first time and the engine sounded tappety, no warning lights or anything like that t...

Thanks alot for the help so far guys. Got the sump off this morning and it is definitly the later spur gear type system fitted. Now everything looks fine at first glance. We removed the 3 bolts for the oil pump but couldnt get this off? Is there a certain way this needs to be taken off without havin...

Thanks alot for that Martin, first bit of 'potential' good news ive had about this car since buying it.

Guess next step is to get the sump off and have a look.
