Yea 100% the dealer will have the right one. I don't use them as there completely useless anyway. Search "lock wheel nut removal" on YouTube to see why! That just like saying I dont bother using my door locks cos they can just break the windows. Its not a cure, but its a preventative meth...

put your foot down and wait until the car has just started to pull like a truck, then change gear. it makes a "pssssshhhhhh hoooot" noise and gets all the girlies wet haha

sounds like the deadlock has seized on? ive seen talk about this before and something to do with attacking it with a hammer but thats as much as I know sorry!

I thought avx was the 6 speed variety with a tad more torque?

Your cars must feel like they are owned by the lord almighty!

The old saying horsepower sells cars torque wins races seems apt hear :smile: :ymhug: Some of you may not believe this one. but i had a run in with an mr2 the other day. it was a 2ltr so standard they are something like 168bhp or similar? we were already rolling at about 45 mph and both moved out t...

Ive had a couple of run ins with fiesta ST's. Both since getting my car remapped, I pulled away but not at a MASSIVE rate.

If your car is standard then its not possible if he was hooning it. Maybe he thought he'd let you have this one

Fli and edge are cheaper subsidiaries of vibe. Fli being the better of the two. That said vibe are pretty good and reasonably priced. Ive had all 3 of these makes, Edge is utter poo, the subs bottom out before youve even put any music on lol, the Fli ones I had 6x9's and couldnt fault them to be ho...

If its not even trying to start but the electrics on the dash are lighting up My first point of call would be the starter motor. Have you fault scanned it with vag com?

Changed the name of my thread as "the race is no longer on" Done a couple of little things to her recently, She came back from VW looking fab with the newly painted wings and the bodyshop guy told me that if I buy the plastic protective strips for near the back wheels he will fit them for ...

Yeah you've got it. And that is a sweeeeet looking passat! Good buy!

Very common fault.

Just replace the temp sender and all will be ok!

Welcome along.

Pics are easy, set yourself up an account on Photobucket (or just log in on photobucket using facebook if you have it)

upload pics then copy the "IMG code" directly into your post.

Get some pics up of her youve got no excuse now!

I wish I could pretend to be really interested, just to get a ride in this! Its such a beautiful car! Hope you get the money you want for it, would be such a shame to split it all.

I had a New Golf as well. It was a Match 1.6 TDI BMT. Touch screen radio, Bluetooth, Cruise, Auto lights ,Wipers the lot. No ball of fire, but a cracking car that made the Passat feel very old when I got it back. Thats EXACTLY what I thought when I got back in my car today! Not taken any pics yet b...

I cant see it being the fuse then if everything seems ok audio wise. Does it even move slightly or just stick compleatley in place? The only thing i can suggest is attempt to remove the panel from the inside which is a pig to do, 4 screws, 2 at either side of the panel near the window and 2 inside t...

Humm. And its making the noise as if it was trying to open? I had a similar issue last week where pressing the button to unlock the boot would blow the fuse for the convenience controller. I think it was either fuse 6 or 12 that was blowing on mine. Might be worth looking at all the fuses as i think...

Have you tried opening it using the key? should open when turned all the way to the left.

This really makes me wanna rip my engine bay apart and clean everything perfectly. Shame its at VW getting wing warranty work done. My engine bay has to be kept clean but after seeing this it can only be described as filthy in comparison lol

Update on mine, Its been in since Wednesday, the courtesy car.....wow. Brand new (7 miles on the clock) Golf 1.6tdi with all the mod cons. Im considering running away with this and letting them have my sat lol. Dont know yet whether they have replaced or repaired the wings hopefully gonna be getting...

Silly me reading B6 and V6 as the same thing lol

You'd have to make sure you get new seals. Seen a horror story on here before where someone had some injector work done without new seals and the injector slowly leaked diesel into the rocket cover mixing with the oil which sent the oil level massively high which blew the seals on the turbo and caus...

Doesn't the v6 have 2 smic's?

Mines a little bit random like that, happens very rarely though. With mine its probably that ive got wind deflectors on so it hits that and goes back down

One of the best cars I owned was a shitroen ax gt. scarily quick off the mark but brakes felt like they were made out of cardboard and digestive biscuits and if anything hit u heavy than a sheet of newspaper u would of probably died :shock: I know what you mean about the brakes. They are STUPIDLY f...
