Thanks for that - I will have a look and see if mine looks similar and can have a go. At least it sounds like there are other options to needing a whole new gearbox which is what I was expecting! Cheers!

Ah cool hopefully it is something along those lines. If it's anything more major then it's off to eBay my Passat goes I think!

Hi, I'm not very mechanical so bear with me! My car is a b6, 2.0tdi SE, well serviced but with 183k miles, runs ok - bit smokey. The DMF needs doing soon as started to rattle a few months ago. My problem is that when I'm accelerating hard I can't engage 2nd and also noticed it happens with 4th too. ...

Hi, I currently have the OEM sat nav in my B6 (MFD2 I believe) with a 6 disc changer in the glovebox. It just looks a bit dated - would a newer version of the same unit be a 'plug and play' swap? Or is there any way I can easily fit an AUX input to it? Sorry - I'm not to clued up with ICE! Any help ...

Cheers for that everyone - I know you are right - I just had plans for remaps/Sport alloys/HID's but I know I should be sensible

Hmm i feel your pain....! There is always something!

Well at that price my planned remap will have to wait......if its possibly just the release bearing is this cheaper to replace and hope that its just that as the part is cheap? Or is it false economy?

Ah thats better, put my mind at rest now haha.

Does anyone have a rough idea for cost to get the release bearing and the DMF please? Cheers, Chris

oh fiddlesticks!, was hoping someone would suggest it could be a loose screw or something!

Hi all, I have got a b6 2.0tdi 140 se which has now covered 170k miles but still drives really well, had it for about a year and love it! Only main issue I have is that sometimes when you lift the clutch pedal in neutral there is a horrendous rattle from the bottom area of the engine. If you don't l...

oh fiddlesticks!, I was hoping it was just a case of take old sensor out, put new one back in!

Hi all, Could anybody help me in finding the location of the coolant temperature sensor on the 2.0 tdi 2005 pd engine? It has thrown up a fault code but I dont know where it is. Have done some searching and not sure if its the same as a G65 sensor or not....? Any help or link to a guide/pic would be...

Hi all, just been out to my 55 plate b6 tdi se and it said the brake fluid needing topping up, which i thought odd as did it two weeks ago. Turns out it is leaking from the rear caliper, looks like from a seal. Does anyone know if this means a whole new caliper or can the seal be replaced? Many than...

Hmm mine is broken then i think lol. Thanks a lot for looking and confirming things

I would just say drive for five mins and then let me know please! Many thanks!

Hey, any luck with looking mate?

That would be great, cheers. They come on before engine is up to temp for info...

Hey, thanks for the suggestion but nope. Am sat in the car now waiting for the wife to finish work - climatronic is turned off but fan is happily spinning away!

Any other suggestions from anyone, does fan control module sound likely?

Yeah you could be right - it needs plugging in anyway to reset the passenger airbag light after i fitted a new fascia and disconnected the warning light without realising it would trigger the warning light...

Hi no nothing at all, no lights...

Hi all, I have had my b6 2.0tdi se for a few months now and love it. Only issue I have got is that the radiator fan keeps coming on, even when cold before the engine is up to temperature. It will stay on for 20-30 seconds, go off for 30 seconds or so and then come on again - all the time! Anyone hav...

Hi thanks for your help. Yes they are 17 so not what i was after which is a shame as i like the style and look. You are right thought they would need adapters but will sell them anyway and put the cash towards some 18 inch wheels once find some i like! Thanks for your advice, chris

Thanks for your replies. Turns out they are 17 inch not 18 as advertised after all that. Will start a new search for ideas of 18 inch ones as think that size suits the car better

That's what I thought! Have tried searching google and think they may possibly be for a golf gti?

I haven't collected them yet so trying to find out before i commit! It said VW so assumed they would fit but am now having doubts...
