Re: Alarm woes with my lovely new (to me) Passat
If it is an estate it will almost certainly be a leak from the feed to the rear wash wipe, common fault. You may find a stain on the roof lining. My local VW specialist repaired mine for £30 as opposed to the £200+ quoted by VW dealer......

Re: Haldex - how do I check if it is working?
Of course, didn’t think of that. MOT is due very soon and assuming my MOT spanner man is open I will get them to check it then.

Hi, how did you decide it was the vacuum solenoid? Was it a 2.0 tdi?

Haldex - how do I check if it is working?
As the title says! Does the ‘off road’ button have any impact or is that just for hill descent control?

Re: Code PO40300
sorry, i now see the link. However it seems inconclusive in respect of deleting the EGR and especially if to do so is legal. And, it seems to relate to the 1.6tdi - mine is a 2.0tdi 170.

Code PO40300
This tells me it is EGR. The warning light is very intermittent, 115k miles, 6 months out of VW ‘goodwill’ post emissions fix warranty. Car runs absolutely fine. Presumably EGR needs replacing? Is deleting it beneficial? Downsides? Still on original DPF. 2013 B7 Alltrack 2.0TDI with DSG. Any idea of...

Re: Engine light.......
Thanks, always understood it was emissions related warning only however I now have it booked in to my local spannerman next week for diagnostics. Car is otherwise running absolutely fine.

Engine light.......
Is the engine warning light likely to be EGR or DPF? Had the emissions fix about 36,000 miles ago (at 74,000 miles) and now out of the ‘fix’ warranty by 4 months. Always use VPower type fuel and dealer serviced with next probably due in about 2 months.

Re: For Sale heads ups rules?
Thanks. Had hoped to buy a Touareg however unexpectedly on hold due to impending surgery. Will post details of my car shortly to be available early August when hopefully recovered.

If a member has something coming up for sale in say, a couple of weeks, can they post a ‘heads up’ in the relevant section?

Re: AC Compressor replace
If it is a Delphi compressor it is almost certainly resolved with a repair kit. £30 or less from fleabay.

Hoping now sorted, had the flexible washer pipe replaced today for £30 including the car being washed and vacced at IVS in Huddersfield. Hoping the multi plug hasn’t been permanently affected by the fluid.... just need to clean the stain from the roof lining and fingers crossed no more erratic night...

Re: Alarm/tailgate problem
After a few days without any problems the alarm went off again last night. Finally tracked it down, leaking washer pipe into roof lining..... will book it into local spanner man to look at it. Igb1961, did you use a body shop or local mechanic/garage to sort yours?
