Re: white clocks problem

Have you tried running output tests on the clocks? Vcds, module 17, output tests, and select the fuel gage and temperature gage just to be sure clocks are working..

Mine came back all fine

Strange issue with fuel gage after changing clocks

SO, changed my clocks from red to white, all went smooth, no issues Yesterday got the beep for petrol, put £25 of shell v-power in it, fuel gauge needle went to where it should, drove to work, turned car of. At 5pm left work, started car, and fuel gage was almost a quarter below what it was when I ...

Re: Potential problems

What reg is the one you are looking at? Practically all Passat b6 will have an issue with the oil pump hexk key and shaft, so that will need changing. The earlier passats before 08 had issues with the epb calipers, later ones don't seem to. Also issues with failing steering lock on earlier models. P...

Re: VCDS KIT.

it depends, if all you are going to do (to begin with) is just read codes, clear them, then its easy peasy. BUT if you start coding moduels, changing settings and tweaking you could do damage to car and modules like jaraz said. BUT theres lots of instructions and help on ross-techs site so if you ev...

Re: Quick question I may be about to buy a Passat TDI 170 CR

Yup, mine was a 140 remapped to 180 remapped at 130k currently on 148k. No parts changed yet, BUT I have had the dpf gutted and egr deleted. I paid £5k for mine at 120k er about 3 years ago, one owner from new, main dealer history up to 110k, but its a 4mo and has a fair few bells and whistles on it.

Re: Quick question I may be about to buy a Passat TDI 170 CR

Vcds is aftermarket diagnostic software,very close to dealer level. Lets you do all sorts but main thing is to check all the modules/sensors for error codes, post your location, could have a member local to you that has vcds

At 140k, check the timing belt has been done!

Re: Quick question I may be about to buy a Passat TDI 170 CR

Not on my 58 plate CR, put the key in, engine management light lights up then goes of....

If you can do a vcds scan before you buy it

Also ring vw up and give them the reg no, they will tell you what history they have of it

Re: Just bought 2.0tdi PD 140

Wont be a grand, parts should cost you rough £250 to £300 from kmb and you get money back when you send them your old bits. I'm guessing prob £200 for a mechanic to do the job, but all depends on if you are keeping the car, if your going to sell it a year down the line then mayb mayb not, if your...

Re: brake fluid service

In that case id take the service book back in and make them tick it!

When I had timing belt done on wifes polo, they billed me for the water pump change as I had requested this to be done but didn't write it on the service book, went back in and made them write it down and put a stamp on it.
