Hi
Have you used a multi meter to see if you have continuity between contacts? sounds like bottom plate is in the down postion causing a circuit.

Hi mate No job is easy and it sounds like you got your hands full, i would firstly try a good 6 point socket snap-on or britool the times i've worked on 70's jap bikes and had the same problem and the good quality socket has saved the day, other then that try drilling and use a EZ out, if you go thi...

Very nice, cool for taking the time to post them up..old soul jazz funk guy from the 70's who now spends a lot of his time on trance..

Sounds like your drain vents might be blocked,,a very common problem, under bonnet top rubber seal off and remove plastic tray covering battery and pollen filter housing..check for water which can then leak into the botton of the pollen filter hosing and then into car..loads of posts on it in search

Hi Check ebay it's a common fault and you should get a replacement element, check google for doing the repair i know there's a guide out there remember seeing it..

LOL sometimes it's seeing the woods for the trees.. 40" x 69"

Hi, what model?

Forge dump valve is the way foward, check for correct spring if you order one. coil packs common failure. Also throttle body clean will prob help. if it's cable, easy, if it's electron...

Thats the anti hijack mode, i had mine changed to all doors last month via vagcom..

Yeah try a silicon based lube, the unit isn't a break the bank item from the dealers either and it's only a few screws and plug and play..

Very nice..if i owned that i would have to sleep in it..our road seems to attract the muppets..wife on third door mirror..and my golf was attacked 3 times..passat (touch wood) not had any damage yet..

Very clean Still working on mine to get the dog smell out of it...

Hi, nice car, don't envy you keeping that clean.

This is the best i can find off a Polo..but the filler cap locking solenoid ( 9 ) looks the same

Mmm sounds like that got Dealer written all over it, remember to sit down when you hear the cost..

I used to use about half a Ltr every 1000 miles or so on my 1.8T and that talking to a few mates was normal, whats your mileage?

Try http://www.ross-tech.com/ heard 50/50 on the ebay items, think it can be a bit hit or miss if it works.

Cool, even though the price of MOT's hurt, it's worse when it fails and you have to spend even more money..

Any ideas where the solenoid is stored? It's the physical fuel cap itself, it used to snap into place when closing but now feels as if there's something jamming or it's not catching Your going to have to take out the back panel and access from there, sorry not done a passat one before, only golfs, ...

Hi mate, if it's the same as the Golf it's a Solenoid and it justs needs a clean up and lube..

Hi Mate, welcome to the forum...
