Many thanks for all the input. with the big cover on top of the whole engine bay its hard to take a look at where the cam position sensor is, good thinking on VWs part to stop you accessing and fixing things yourself! From cold the engine starts perfect, even from under a foot of snow, its just when...

Many thanks for the suggestions, can anyone tell me what the cam position sensor part is, in terms of where it is and what it looks like?

I am guessing its accessible if you know what you are looking for.

Many thanks,

I have a 2006 Passat Estate 2.0l diesel. From cold it starts first time, every time, and runs perfectly. Once the engine is up to temperature and I stop somewhere it is really hard to start the car again while it is still hot. When I depress the key the engine will judder but not start, the whole ca...

Thanks for all the helpfull advice, sounds like a relatively easy fix even for a complete amatuer like me. Or so I thought! Being a complete novice I fell at the first hurdle, getting the glovebox door off to access the resistor pack. Can anyone please expalin how it comes off. There are screws alon...

not sure what a thermal fuse is, other sites have said its a rheostat thats failed, is that the same thing. Unfortunately Im not too good on the technical side, could anone confirm where the faulty bit of kit is on the car and how to get to it?

I have two dials, blower dial with positions 0,1,2,3,4, and a dial for air flow control ( winscreen, face, footwell etc) its an SE model car.

The blower on my passat will only work on setting 4, settings 1,2 and 3 do not blow at all. All other controls seem ok including heating and cooling temperature control. I have seen several posts on various websites regarding this issue with each one suggesting a different cause and solution. The 'r...
