Cheers Pete, Cheered me up no end did that. In all honesty I know nothing about cars and have to take as gospel most of what people tell me on here. I have been a little (lot maybe) naive but what else can I do? £3k is a lot of money and to be honest I have 6 payments left on one of the cars and 0 ...

Well, well, well, just took the car back to VW (Black One) and after spending over 1200 quid on it this morning they now tell me the current EML is LSB1S1, should this not have been picked up when they did the EGR and intake manifold? Pissing me off big time. I am no further forward than I was BEFOR...

Cheers Pete, I had the car back today, driven 10 miles and the EML is back on and the car is back in VW, now awaiting their response to the reason it (EML) is back on. Not going to be cheap I know.

But who would buy it?
I would not thats for sure......................
AOHO
P.S. What are you laughing at there is nothing to see is there, or have I gone blind?

...............When will it all end

All I need to do now is get BOTH cars booked in for BOTH balance shafts to be replaced, will not be this side of Christmas that is for sure.
Pic will follow if Pete will do me the honours.

no wonder b6 prices are tumbling just not worth taking the risk in buying one Personally from what I have spent in the past 6 weeks I could have had a nice deposit for a real car like a Lada Samara. It has cleaned me out to be honest. I cannot part ex it as they will give me peanuts for it and I ca...

Sadly, too late Gaz, the car is in VW as we speak and they (lie) say I will have it back tomorrow at 630.
I am NOT holding my breath
AOHO

Well, really can it get any worse? Changed the Lambda Sensor. Had the car back two hours and the bloody coil light came on, took it back to garage and they report EGR Valve & Intake Manifold and also a broken spring so advise replacing both at the same time...... ........The cost of this work £...

Gazwould wrote:Clean or new EGR required ?

It was always going to be a saga , Al , it's a B6

You are right there Gaz, I have just been told that an EGR delete would be a cheaper option and only takes minutes and a VAGCOM is that correct?
AOHO

After replacing and spending a small packet on this damn car I have now yet another problem....

P0403 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Circuit Malfunction

Makes no sense to me but I know it going to cost me a large packet to cure.

Any ideas folks of the cure and the cost?
AOHO

This is odd, I got two letters today from Volkswagen, one for me and one for my son. When I put the VIN's into the website last week it told mine was not affected but my son's was. Now in the letters both cars are affected. Cocks ups already me thinks.
AOHO

It's not the car that is in a bad condition, far far from it. It is the people who I trust to keep me on the road thinking I am an easy ride. I am fekking fed up with it. I am down about £700 quid after this nightmare trip past two days and still no hex key fitted. Mrs AOHO is not speaking to me co...

Pete, I am about to send you a PM
AOHO

I will put this here as well as it seems not many people go in the B6 department. After my trip to Launceston yesterday and today I am now apparently in need of a Lambda Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1. I have called both GSF and Capitol VW and the prices vary tremendously. Capitol VW £176.38 GSF £76.36 bo...

After my trip to Launceston yesterday and today I am now apparently in need of a Lambda Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1. I have called both GSF and Capitol VW and the prices vary tremendously. Capitol VW £176.38 GSF £76.36 both including VAT Do I really need one from a dealers or will one be OK from GSF? A...

I just did a check on my boy's B6 and his car is affected. Only the last 4 digits are different to his car from mine, if they go up one digit per car built then there is a difference of 4756 cars. Mine was st registered on 23 December 2008 and my son's on 08 January 2009 so only 16 days between them...

Hunter £60. I noticed a massive difference.
AOHO

Gaz, does the kit not have to go back to KMB for whatever reason, refurbishment or summat. I have no clue.
AOHO

I have a 58 Plate CBAB and is not affected.
I will check my son's car later and my good friend has a 62 Plate but cannot check that as he is in hospital having Major surgery tomorrow.
I will check for him next week.
AOHO

Mine is being done tomorrow and as said above I have no idea if I have the 77 or the 100mm shaft, but it is a chance I cannot afford to take. Phil may take it off and is 100mm, Happy Days. As I am having a lot of work done over the space of 2 days I decided to make a night of it and go sightseeing i...

Is there Voice Activation on all RNS 510? Or is it just the later ones say from 2012.
AOHO

Even better, going to happen sooner.

You, ain't it?
Sent you a pm.
AOHO

Miller? You read too much.

AOHO

It is not being done till the end of the month. We are talking 4 figures here for all this work. I will post a pic of the key that comes out.
Her indoors not happy about it but a night in Cornwall will do her the world of good.
