Mine does that when its been raining, either heavy or even if its damp. Nearly 100% when its raining, BUT if the cars been driven for a while even in the rain it clears up. No codes no nothing show up for me on vcds, ive never had it when stationary only if in reverse gear or if I manually press the...

Have you checked your battery? Only reason I say that is flickering lights (for me) was my battery on its way out...

mates had a look at all pipes and everything else associated with it, all fine and dandy, and no whistling, just weird that it did it that loudly and never again...having said that, I'm putting money to side for when it goes anyway

Mmm what's your mileage? 148k. Adverse turbo operation can be a sign of the oil pump drive key starting to fail. 58 plate CR engines still had dodgy oil pump drive keys and 148K is in the danger zone for failure. I'd drop the sump and check the oil pump drive key for wear unless you know it has bee...

well, mate will be looking at it this afternoon, but didn't notice any smoke, will post updates

Ok, so coming home yesterday, came of the motorway and the turbo started making a really loud whine/whistling, to the point my mum said whats that noise? (she was in the front passenger seat) Was coming back from Nottingham so roughly about 70m journey. My mate, who is a mechanic by trade is going t...

Look on eBay.de or eBay.Pl, they tend to pop up on there

Timing belt time yes, haldex oil is sooner I believe. 80k miles is not bad actually. So you got some time left for the timing belt, but id get the haldex oil changed. Cost me £65 at sytner vw leeds. Id make sure you get the paperwork for the new clutch and flywheel. Have you rang vw up and seen wha...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, but not to Passats. I had a B5.5 with 270,000 miles on it previously. I'm looking at getting a B6, around about 08 plate. I've seen a 4motion that I like the look of but its over 2.5 hours away. So the questions: Are there and reasons not to get the 4 wheel drive vers...

Thanks folks, ordered a set

Anyone got these on their car? I need two new front tyres and these have got good reviews from every site ive seen.

Coming in at roughly £100 a tyre.

Haha, you bought german, be glad they give you a steering wheel!! Wiring most definetly won't be in place.

So the lights on the bottoms of the doors don't light up, all four don't work. I can't imagine it's a fuse issue, I did read ccm module or something. Any ideas? Chances are you dont actually have the puddle lights installed, what you have is just plastic reflectors, if i remember puddle lights were...

post a pic of it

Is it not for auto wipers? I have auto wipers and a sensor located in the back of the rear view mirror housing. My 'sensor' is viewable from the outside of the car when looking at the rear view mirror from the front of the car, its like 4 small bulbs....

I know that everytime I come of the motorway mine feels quieter and smoother, then after a day or two local driving goes back to being slightly sluggish.

I've spent a small fortune on this car over the last couple of years so I just want to get this sorted as cheaply as possible then sell it or chop the car in for something newer, there's 2nd hand modules on eBay for around £50/60, is it possible to swap it for a 2nd hand one? If so how difficult w...

Are you sure its the abs module and not the parking brake module? I recently had my parking brake module swopped for £420 including parts and labour, brand new module from tps

interesting article

apparently the dieselgate 'fix' has made the cars worse! now the Italians are saying you better cough up some compensation.

Well I'm keeping my paperwork for the work I has done, just in case pigs start flying and vw issue a recall/fix

The mileage will be whatever the new clocks were at time of removal. You will need to get the mileage 'corrected' to the correct value which was whatever your old clocks were at. This cannot be done via vcds (assuming you have it) unless of course the mileage on the new clocks was zero to begin with...

Okay dokey thanks.

Howdy all. Current can gateway is 3C0 907 530 H, I've seen a q version from a local scrapper for £20. Ive got a rns510 no battery drain and no other issues with the gateway, is it worth upgrading to the q version? Anyone know what benefits? or extra options the q gateway brings? or just stick to if...

Thats good to hear, is there anything he should look out for when driving it? Just tried ringing vw up they are shut now, how much (roughly) is a dsg service?

A friend has been offered a 61 plate 2.tdi bluemotion, with dsg, 40k, miles, dont know price yet but does the b7 suffer the same fate as the b6 regarding oil pump balance shaft? If the dsg has had a regular oil change is it a good buy? Ive read plenty of horror stories regarding vw passats's and the...
