Update!!!! I have just tried an iPhone 4s and it says Phone not compatible. This is so frustrating. Called my local dealers and they sent me a list of supposedly compatible phones and they are all Nokia's and they say the Nokia N97 Mini is compatible but alas that also failed yesterday. Surely someo...

Are they replacing the injectors?the letters says.... On certain vehicles with a 2.0TDI common rail engine of a certain production period, resonances in certain operating conditions could over long term cause cracks on a Diesel Injector pipe, Although unlikely, in the most extreme circumstances dies...

I have just received a recall notice from both VOSA & VW.
Is this because of the problem with the injectors we keep hearing about?
Has anyone else had this letter?

I have a B6 58 Plate Passat. It has Sat Nav DVD Player with Bluetooth as standard, but am not sure what the actual model is. I have been using a Nokia X6 to connect to the Bluetooth but had a mishap with a tin of gloss paint so the phone is kerputt. Have tried two other phones I have here, a Sony Er...

As you may know I had or my car did it's MOT yesyerday and it passed. In discussion with the tester he told me that from January 1st a towbar with no electrics is an advisory and from April 1st it will be a fail.

Hello, I took my B5.5 for it's annual test today and It flew through with no advisories. Well Chuffed. Whilst I was there I asked their auto electrician if he could take a look at my radio and he got it light up and it went to safe mode, a few seconds later MUSIC was blaring out, then a few seconds ...

Hello, I did mine with Cherry Blossom Renovating Cream
Was hard work, and I sweated, but was worth it.
I got it on the bay. £2.70 a jar plus p+p and a discount of £1.35 if you buy two which I did.
Dunno if I am allowed to name the guy though.
Hope this helps.

My Gamma radio is naffed and was looking to put a double din Sat Nav in it's place but that appears to be way to expensice and complicated for me so I had an idea, would a SINGLE din work with a slide out screen? I am refferring to the type you see in Halfrauds with a motorised screen and is a DVD /...

Hello Folks!!!!! I have posted about my radio not working in my B5.5. As a double din sat nav seems out of the question I looked at my radio for a model Number amd all I can find is it is a 'GAMMA' if that means anything to anyone, it has a 6 stack CD player beneath the radio so would I need to repl...

Hi, my seats are black.

I am well impressed with the end result, but it was a lot of buffing and PUFFING.

I have posted in the wanted section for a B5.5 Double Din Sat Nav. I had a thought, I have NEVER seen a 5.5 with a factory fitted Double Din sat Nav, prehaps the car is too early and they were never fitted. If so, does this mean I have to buy a cheap chinese version off the bay? Are they difficult t...
