Still need your engine code because of the infamous 77mm oil pump drive .

According to my invoice the engine code is CBA 785473

Sometimes when the right car comes along the last choice we get is the colour. Sounds an interesting colour, im on my second reflex silver VW and hopefully the last, its a nice silver but horrible to match, repair or even panel match with decent spare bits, which are almost impossible to find at sa...

£400ish, but they do go on offer from time to time so will be waiting to see when they come down in price. During that time I will be looking at making sure the car is running all good before I go down the remap route.

Yes that is something I seriously looking at, a friend of mine recommended a blue fin plug and play remap to start with.

Yes that would certainly would help, its a diesel.

Hi all, i have been a member on here for a while but wasn’t overly active as didn’t own my 2007 B6 for long as someone wrote it off for me :sad: :evil: . Anyway i have had a few different cars sense then and i am now back in the Passat fold due to job change and the amount of miles i will be doing. ...

Shame you couldn't buy it back & just repair it with salvage parts...? Hindsight is a wonderful thing, yeah maybe that would have been the best cause of action but at the time i had a lot of stuff going on and didn't have the time to do it myself. Then to top it off, the wife has been funny abo...

Hi all, i had B6 written off 2 months ago by one of my neighbours. I should state that we live on a hill, the hand brake failed on the neighbour car who lives at the top of the hill and her car rolled into mine. I still think that she reversed into it :roll: but i can't prove that. Its all gone thou...

This was my thinking to.

My service is not due to later during the year around xmas time car will be at around 135k miles, i plan on doing the work myself. Looking at the service book it will be a interval service, my question is when should the fuel filter be changed? I have planned to do it with each service, but i was wo...

The wife's Mk6 Golf got swiped by an oncoming car at night last year, and virtually the whole shell was destroyed. Indeed, she was quite lucky that it didn't break her driver-side window, it hit the glass so hard. Needless to say, the other driver didn't stop to exchange his details. :roll: The dam...

BMW 320I Touring (2001) owned the car 2 years nice to drive, but had coolant problems and burnt oil 1L of oil to 1000 miles. I fixed the coolant leak issue, to find the car was burning oil got fed up with it and brought my 2007 B6 TDI.

Thats a fair point, i would just like to have no advisory.

Hi all, its MOT time in 2 months and looking at getting a couple of bits sorted before it goes in, like the driver side front roll bar as it has started to rattle in the last couple of weeks and the other has been an advisory for the last 4 years from the looks of the history, iv now had it 18 month...

I usually get around 600 miles to a tank, with my daily commute and driving around the city at the weekend. Trip computer always says that i could get 750 miles when i fill up, i have always assumed that would have to be purely motor way miles to achieve that.

Hi all, been a member on here for sometime but never posted, mostly been in the back round reading. Anyway iv had my B6 TDI saloon for just over a year now, is a great car but in need of an estate or SUV. Reason being, after having our 2nd child, we have come to conclusion that the car may not be bi...
