Intermittent power 'dip' on motorway

So, when driving my B7 on the motorway at 70, I sometimes notice a feeling that I can only describe like as if there is suddenly more resistance against the car. The speed doesn't drop, and if I have to adjust the accelerator position, I don't notice it. It will then, after a few seconds suddenly fe...

Re: Which Rear brake pads (no production code on my sticker?)

Hi Maclee, that was the plan for today - I have been able to convince part numbers out of them before too! *edit* plan failed. £73 for a set of pads, and they're not allowed to give the part number out. Someone on another forum is looking at the parts database for me though, so hopefully they'll man...

Which Rear brake pads (no production code on my sticker?)

Hi all, After being sold the wrong flupping brake pads by Euro Car parts (I think) (they were the only ones listed for my reg), I looked into it further, and there are in fact two PR codes which it could be, according to a brake manufacturer website.

Re: Estate sport / Panoramic roof / wet seat :((

Thanks for the reply Odessy, I have my fingers crossed that I'll work out where the feck it's getting in, but it is looking like a new seals job I think :(( Hi Kieth, I think the official unblocking procedure is to use what looks like a very thin reel of drain rod, from the roof down for the front, ...

Estate sport / Panoramic roof / wet seat :((

Hi guys & girls, I have a 2011 Passat Estate Sport bmt, with the panoramic roof (what a mistake...) and a wet passenger seat. I've read about the issue with either blocked drains, or badly connected (designed?) drain pipe connector, and I have sealed the pipe. I am now getting less water ingress...
