I had the same. In the end I purchased a reconditioned turbo and it no longer goes into limp mode.

Hi Alan,

They connected it to my battery and it is the headlamp is still drawing power. They tested it in the day. I had not used the hids. Tested the battery approx. 30 min. from turning ignition off.

Installed aftermarket HID kit years ago and they worked like a charm. Recently one of the ballast had gone faulty. I bought a new kit which is a different model ballast and replaced the faulty ballast. Bulb keeps flickering on/of at start up and sometimes switches off. I swapped the new ballast to t...

Mad Mitch....I also held on to my rounded shaft......key!!! A nice souvenir to remind me the most ever ££££ I have spent on a new oil pump unit and getting it installed and the fun has not stopped yet. You have got to love and hate the TDis!!!

FK are cheap and I am on my 2nd pair now. 1st pair the front shocks started to leak after 3 years. I think I had my moneys worth as I do enjoy putting my foot down and I have driven over plenty of potholes. Ride is reasonably comfortable. I am not sure if you are meant to replace your coilovers afte...

Know the feeling. Experiencing this too at the moment and the car is in the garage. Checked all hoses, replaced n75 valve, checked movement in the actuator and all wiring. All seems ok so I believe it is my turbo. Last year I had the oil pump failure. As the turbo needs oil for lubrication would the...

Spotted a beautifull black b6 estate today at 17.30 with chrome front grille and custom lower chrome grille on the M1 North junction 14. Private plate starting with H. Also saw a dark grey eos on M1 south junction 14 at approx. 15.30. Front number plate was lowered and the chrome surround looked ama...

Does anyone know if Audi gear knobs will fit the Passat b6? Myn needs replacing as much of the chrome has peeled off. I believe that the standard Passat gear knob is too big. I have seen some very nice Audi S gear knobs. If they will not fit then what other options do I have besides the more expensi...

I had this too not long ago. You should not drive your vehicle at all when this warning comes up as it can damage other parts. If you do drive I believe it can also make your brakes less effective. I know that certain oil pump systems have a hex drive shaft which is a poor design. The hex is not the...

Mad Mitch - sorry for the delay, do have a slow loss of coolant. Exhaust pipes are dry after a good run and at normal temperature. Oil seems to be fine too. I really don't know what to do anymore. Selling is not an option either....spent too much already and do like the car.

I got the same engine code BMR and it is the same. Lots of white smoke on idle and smells very sweet. Did you find out what it caused it?

Alpine 2000rms and 2x alpine subs. Taken out due to water leaking in the boot. I need to sort this out soon...likely next year now!

Richard...well summed up! My SEL is the same and it was love at first sight! Also, If I am right this model Passat is a long wheel base version so more legroom in the back. SEL = Sport Executive Long wheel base??

I got one and I think it means Sports Executive Long Wheel Base.

Just found out yesterday when i got my car serviced that my front fk shocks are leaking. I had them for four years and no problems except with the drop links. Installed custom heavy duty drop links. Thinking of replacing the front with another fk pair. Live in Milton Keynes.....the home of roundabou...

Certainly have one and thinking of going down this road myself. Any info on roughly how much this will cost and does the remap significantly boost more bhp. Many thanks for your advice.

Just got my car serviced and I have been told that exhaust sytem is corroded. Need to know what my options are? Car has reached 100k so should I consider dpf removal too? Car is registered 2006 so if mot regulation changes will I be ok as it affects cars 2009 onwards. I got lots of gaps in my unders...

I was told it is from VW and it is a new design so most definitely gear driven pump.

Many thanks!

Key was worn out on myn too last month and I had to replace the whole unit. I was told that VW has reengineered the whole unit and it cost me £1000 for the part! Was not happy at all! Now installed and I must admit that the engine is noticeably quieter and a lot smoother. To be fair this is to be e...

Dear all, My first topic so please go easy. My Passat b6 tdi 2.0 170 has just reached 100k and I am considering to buy a new clutch kit. I have searched this site and on others and I am still not sure whether to go with LUK or Sachs. Am I right in thinking that VW uses LUK? Anyway, if you got any li...
