Hi all
just spotted a 2.8 v6 with auto problems for sale
is the c/m for gearbox in the same area as ccm or drivers side

just finished at last yea that m14 spline bit such a big head for such a small bolt , the extension bar set up was crazy just to get to the heads square on and used air impact wrench in the end as they were way to tight
Did with ful vcds the proper way and no probs thanks for all advice

Thanks for quick reply
i have full vcds and the lead phew
just now a nice day to do the job please sun god

five min job that mush

i did that and it was my fault i bent the pipe in the engine bay and had no choice but in haynes talk "remove facia"

Hi all normally on the b5.5 forum but have a question as i tried to search and it says i cant search ??
my brother in law has a b6 2.0 tdi my08
is the pads and discs all round easy job same as my b5.5 or do i need other bits
they look similar

thanks for your grey matter time

hi toonmania thanks for reply

i have found a kit thro my works the same as

i just could not decide on make of belt

any suggestions forwhich kit is best , one roller has gone noisey and belt due to be changed

Check the coolant flange on the back of the head (cts housing) , both my alt passats had leaks here ,

i went to a local bearing supplier as these o rings are a hard size to get , ecp only had radiator orings , gsf the same vw dont do just the orings im sure i tried TPC and same as vw . If your lucky some kits have the size if i remember right is 28mm x 4mm

got second hand relay and all is good , well at the moment

and just done all the door seals as the rain this week was a bit hard and a little came in drivers side , did it without taking door cards off just propped them up

dam it came back again but has only happend once ,

time to buy a new relay

and try again

yes will be interesting for sure ,

reminds me of 90's cars where you could buy a cheap watch with ir and capture the signal then go back next day and open it up , not that i did that for any gain mind ,

putting front into service now only takes me 15 mins

but that means i have done it too many times

is it blowing from the expansion tank hard to do but look underneath if poss when its doing it

have you got a sniff check kit ?

and check oil for contamination at the dipstick

agreed if its platic replace the flange as well yes defo ,

but buy the look on the piky its flange is metal but hard to see

the hose that pik points to is a quick connector and they have o rings inside , eurocarparts has o rings that fit

but check to see if it isnt the housing leaking , i used a mirror and torch with engine up to temp

well ive had a dam good nose around pulled all the dash wiring out and got the multimeter on them and all good with no sign of water ingress via the ecu seal so pushing the fuse may of been a fluke ? so back to basics start at the battery and readings were strange on the + bat terminal to connector ...

mm strange it happend again this morning

but instead i pushed the fuses inside the car and it started without me getting vcds plugged in

now looking at the wiring to see if that is the problem but not having much luck finding diagrams so i think its gonna be a long day

I feel for you man never good when it happens and you twice this year

i would take a guess its because of your insurance co terms and conditions

thanks for that reading a bit more on various forums indicate a bad relay as it can cause epc light to play up

but to check the wiring is it pins 6 + 9 on relay should have 12v all the time ?

just had the lid of ecu box and seen a couple of small droplets of water up in the box , can the lid leak ? relay contacts look ok and fuse all good i have searched around the forum and google but only the seal seems to be the problem at the low point in the box causing ingress into cabin and not th...

ok it seems this is starting to come back , but with a different code:- p0688 -004 ecm power relay load circuit (j271) open circuit , as well as previous code i have posted , this has happened twice today each time with the different code, also the epc light has stayed on a couple of times when star...

i had a cat d car where someone hit the rear ,

and i had to have a vic check but not re mot

Have you given the fan a wack when ac is on to see if it comes on ? Mind you pinkies tho ,
