Re: Has anyone replaced their glow plugs?
OK, so I just ended up ordering what they had in stock and they seem fine! I did run into a slight snag, when one of the old glow plugs snapped when I tried to get it out. Got a to come out and remove it, cost £300 including their mileage, but they got it out! http://www.ukinjectorremoval.co.uk Seem...

Re: Has anyone replaced their glow plugs?
Thanks, yeah I had it down as no 3 for the plug with the sensor (it's the one that's showing an error too). I guess pulling them out's going to be the best bet - hopefully there's some markings on them too. For the plug with the sensor in it there's two listed with identical dimensions! https://www....

Has anyone replaced their glow plugs?
Mine need doing on my 2015 GT 2.0 TD - checking some of the parts sites such as autopartspro and euro car parts, when you put your reg in it returns several different parts, eg if I look at a Beru plug, there's three or four different versions of non pressure plug (some of different dimensions) and ...

Re: Mode button on 2016 GT doesn’t do anything
No I don’t get anything top left - where yours says sport I just have a blank space and there’s never anything there. I’ve been reading a few threads from people that have swapped around console and instrument bits and put their own mode buttons in and it looks like the mode feature is what they cal...

Re: Mode button on 2016 GT doesn’t do anything
There's some sort of injector error and a fuel flap circuit error (it doesn't lock with the central locking, so assume it's the solenoid), but that seems to be about it. I was doing some reading on other websites, other people that have retrofitted driving mode buttons to Golfs etc and it looks like...

Re: Mode button on 2016 GT doesn’t do anything
Yeah, where it says normal on the top left, I just have a blank space. IMG_4412.jpeg Mode button's there and the orange light comes on momentarily when you press it, but nothing happens on the infotainment screen. IMG_4406.jpeg It's an ex lease car and I've got the service history and there's no ref...

Re: Mode button on 2016 GT doesn’t do anything
Yep, that’s the one. The owner’s manual says that it should bring up the different driving modes on the display, but nothing happens. Weird!

Mode button on 2016 GT doesn’t do anything
I’ve had a 2016 manual GT for a couple of months. It’s got a mode button next to the gear stick, but it doesn’t appear to do anything, other than the orange light coming on briefly when you press it. There’s nothing appears on the infotainment, no menus. Is there a setting somewhere, or something I ...

Re: Thule bike rack lights not working on new towbar install
Took it in this afternoon and apparently the module has lost sync with the car - they need to order another to fit.

Thule bike rack lights not working on new towbar install
Hi, I had a towbar installed on my 2016 estate a few weeks ago and have just bought a Thule bike rack - fitted the rack, plugged it in and nothing to any of the lights. It was a third party towbar fitting company - they've been around for years so they're legit - and I opted for the proper Passat wi...

Re: Intermittent sidelight fault.
They're normal filament bulbs, just given the holder that's not working a quick clean with some electrical contact cleaner and refit the bulb and it's still not working. Just swapped the sidelight bulbs and now neither of them are working, and neither work when you swap them back - grrr! I didn't re...

Intermittent sidelight fault.
Hi, got a problem with the sidelights on my 2006 SE estate. I've had an intermittent fault with the driver's side front sidelight for a while, light on the dash to say it wasn't working and no voltage at the bulb holder. Sidelight would work most of the time then stop working for a few days, then st...
