Re: Dealer cambelt change 1 week ago and failed

Haven't you got to be really careful with a tensioner stud on these, don't they snap or something due to being 2 different diameters?

Re: Throttle jerk 2.0 TDI CR

I know my engine moves when I accelerate stood still but think it might be a mount or the dmf.

The throttle body is prone to playing up on these as had mine replaced.

CBAB 2.0tdi 140 actuator knackered

Hi Getting a fault up on my passat relating to the actuator, tried a vacuum test on it and it won't hold anything, the needle rapidly drops. The n75 valve I also checked, this seems fine. Had a quote from vw main dealer, £152 for the part (seen decent on e bay for £90) or £390 to supply fit and c...

Thanks for all that, maybe the switch I got wasn't the REH one, here is the link.

Re: EPB light just after it passed MOT!

03200 isn't a VAG code, so dunno what it's meant to represent. Get yourself a VCDS Autoscan and that will give correct VW error codes and short description I'm in SE London -- here's a link to locator map for someone who may do your scan for beer tokens https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zwQH...

Bloody epb! I often got a fault when using the epb button, mainly when pressing it too quick. So I bought an after market c revision switch. I no longer get the fault in the mfd when using the switch but when auto hold is enabled I can be travelling along the road and Bing, it throws up the yellow f...

Thanks for all the replies, I have vcds, I will look into how to find out what gateway I have.

Upgrade from rcd300, Android?

My 2008 highline has the very basic rcd300 which is pretty rubbish. I want to upgrade to either a vw one that's maybe has sat nav and dab radio. Is the easiest option to go Android. One thing being a must is not wanting to loose the steering wheel functions and ideally be able to see the radio on th...

Do I have rear brake pad sensors?

Hello!

Does anyone know if a late 2008 highline has rear pad sensor's or just one like the front?

I see there are pads with and without sensors.

I will maybe just have to not be lazy and take the wheels off!?

Thanks

ABS light after new front discs and pads

Hello! Just fitted new front discs and pads to my b6. Once done I struck up the engine and put it in first gear whilst it was still on the stands just to make sure all was OK and rotating fine, I didn't rev it, just let the engine torque in first drive the discs. I now have the ABS & ESP Warning...

New springs dilemma

I have a 2008 highline and find the ride comfy ish until on a bad road when it sounds a bit noisy over bumps. Also quick changes of direction the car responds after turning the wheel so it's a bit like a boat! I need a new rear spring so can't decide if to just replace it or go for full eibachs but ...

New rear springs?

Hello! Noticed one of my rear springs has broke at the bottom, it's still wedged in place as it's only the last 50mm or so. I have been looking at replacing with Sachs but I see they also do a heavy duty spring for my highline, any ideas what that's about? Thanks Dave Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapa...

Re: 2008 VW Passat Estate Poor Radio Reception

Same for me too on my saloon. I have checked the connections behind the radio and the rear window, all seem fine. Would love to upgrade to an Android unit but it doesn't sound easy. I have the rubbish rcd300 I think it is.

Re: Emissions Recall - Anyone done it yet?

I can't see how they can fix this without there being some sort of side effect somewhere and it's unlikely to be a benefit to the owners, bar the less emissions which it should have had in the first place.

Has anyone ever experienced this!? I can be in the car, heater on nicely, all toasty but I can come up to a round about for example, when taking the exit the heater appears to suddenly go cold or there is a draft from somewhere. It appears to be around the gear stick where I feel it the most. I don'...
