Drivers side window regualtor

My drivers side window regulator broke this week.

Looked into replacing it, but it looked very complicated.

Got it done at a garage and got charged £115. Have i been over charged?

Was initialy given an estimate of £90, got a feeling they may have broken something and added the cost to the bill

Service pages in service book

Hi all,

I have run out of the service record pages in my service book for my 2003 Passat.

Does anybody have a scan of a blank page so, i can print it off?

I don't want to goto to dealers and pay silly money for a new service book, when all i need is a page.

Re: Wet carpet, off side rear (behind drivers seat)

I had the same problem. Under your battery, there 2 drain holes for rain water. If they get blocked the water overflows and finds a way into the car and somehow to the rear foot well behind the driver. In order to get to them, you have to remove the battery and its cradle and feel under. It might be...
