Re: Switching off alarm
I had an issue with the comfort control module and I was camping for a couple of days, so I just pulled the bit that the alarm sounds out and never put it back in

Also I've driven around in a petrol MK1 golf for 9 years so diesels are a bit foreign for me! So some morning l's its been cranking over a lot longer then it should to start...

Re: Braking issue - hard pedal when pumping
Karl you little legend, thanks a lot!
I recorded a video of mine (jubilee clips are because I had it off yesterday) seems it needs changing?
I'll get them ordered and let you know when I've done it - any tips? https://vimeo.com/166626870

Re: Braking issue - hard pedal when pumping
Is the tandem pump the one on the side of the head at the back? If so I took the black pipe off that goes to the servo and the metal pipe that comes out of it was wobbly - has a flange on the end so the rubber pipe to the servo stays on?

Braking issue - hard pedal when pumping
Hey guys, Got a b5.5 2004 1.9 TDi - only had it a couple of months, done some research on here but can't find the immediate answer. Basically if I pump the brakes (while idling) the pedal gets hard, if I wait it becomes softer again, if I Rev it becomes soft straight away. So I'm thinking vaccum lea...

Re: Brake servo and Master Cylinder Change 2002
Hey Dave, old thread again! How did you know this needed changing? I have an issue where if I pump the brakes while stationary (engine idle) pedal is going hard - assuming I have a vacuum leak, possibly caused by rust in the servo / master cylinder? Ive checked everywhere else and can't find a leak ...

Hey ladies and gentle friends, I've just bought myself an estate, TDi 130Bhp Highline, it was my friends for the last 8 years, I needed a daily as I just took my mk1 cabby off the road for a full resto, not sure what I'm gonna do it to the Passat yet to be honest, I'm gonna hit it with the lowering ...
