vagcom gives same code as the autel, then u google that code and it just says n75 valve, boost leak, or turbo actuator stuck due to blocked turbo vanes. Its still doing it, but before where it would do it if you give it death, you can cruise gently through the gears then once you hit 70/80 itl beep ...

Hi mate ive got full VCDS but nothing came up, i guess il have to wait till it does it again and then get it home and on the laptop, jus scary when its got no power and does 30mph, especially when you go to join the motorway or overtake someone.

Happened twice now. Drives fine around town, pulls hard through the gears, no whine from the turbo, no sounds of any boost leaks, no signs of any split hoses. BKD 140BHP lump, done 175,000 with full history, 2 owner car, thousands spent. I was going to join the motorway last week, come off the rouda...

They said there is a bush in the lower wishbone where the bolt goes through, airgun would have ripped it out, heat would have melted it, and id have needed 2 new arms?

Just thought it let everyone know it went okay, but only managed to change the pads. Some idiot has over tightened everything, managed to get one pad carrier bolt out the other just would not budge, snapped 2 socket bits trying to undo it. Bottom shock bolt again same issue, swinging on it on a ramp...

thanks people seen a guy on youtube attempt to do the brakes, not realised he needed the software, he just attached 2 wires to a car battery and touch the other ends onto the plug that comes off the motor, put the wires on one way opened the other way close, he opened the motor fully then pushed the...

Hi all, Had a issue start last week where theres a grinding coming from the nearside rear when i apply the footbrake on my 2006 Passat Sport TDi. Upon investigating the inner pads are completely shot, with not much left on the outer pad, on both sides. Also both shocks were leaking, and my offside r...

One other thing, when its cold, it starts okay but seems to chug for the first 30 seconds or so then it clears, i just put it down to the high mileage. ive been readin up on that pump, maybe thats about had it, is it easy to change? from what i read i need to check the fuel filter housing, if its bl...

Ive not noticed anything with the revs, the only thing it doesnt like is if you slow down too much in too high a gear, it seems to jerk forward, hard to explain, normally diesels if your at the right speed theyl cruise themselves with no acceleration, but this one behaves like a petrol its odd, so c...

I recently purchased this Passat quite cheaply, its done 173,000 but has been serviced every 10,000 miles, oil changes etc, 2 owners from new, its an 06 reg. Cambelt was last done at 135,000, everything its ever needed its had, it looks and drives like its done 73,000. Its got the 2.0 BKD 140 engine...
