Hello. My friend has a 2011 2.0tdi 140. After driving 17miles on motorway the car temp seems too low. It holds around 1/4 mark. Is this normal. It was the same in summer and winter.

Hi All. Just after some help. I have a 2007 1.9tdi. There is a really big leak coming from the turbo and sometimes goes into limp mode/overboost. So I presume it needs a new turbo. I have a mechanic friend that can replace the turbo but what's the better option. Buy new recondition or...

Hello. Just helping a friend with his 2007 1.9tdi. It has a really bad oil leak. Traced it to the turbo. Unsure if it's the turbo it self or just the pipe off it. Any idea? Does it look like a new turbo needed? The car does not seem to have that turbo kick that you get from pd engines. Thanks.

thats great thanks

Hello. After changing my top mounts I noticed the shocks kept dropping so I had to keep pulling them up in order to screw the mounts in. There's no leak but is that a sign that my shocks are gone? If it is then I had a look at carparts4lesa for replacement They have two choices. Kyb and...

well thats poo. Any ideas on which ones to buy or even a part number. cheers

Hello. Just over a speed bump and heard squelching from under the bonnet. Had a quick look. Is this normal. Should it stick out like this. It's on both sides. Thanks.

The car is standard. I will have a look at the intercooler. Going to get a compression test done see if that brings up anything

It's using about 1 litre after 350 miles. I'm using 5w 40 TPS quantum. Only really looses oil with town driving. I've done long motor way journey to Scotland and back and it used no oil. Can't say I've seen blue smoke at idle but when I boot it I can see smoke in my mirror at night with another...

Just trying to track down why my cars burning oil. I thought I might as well change the plugs. Do they look alright? Seems a bit too much on the white powder side. They have done 26k so I got some new ones anyway. I noticed the second spark plug had some oil around the thread. And looking down...

Hello. Just went to change my rear brake pads. My new pads came with brake pad clips x4. On my current car the bottom of the carrier had clips but the top did not. This was the same on the left and right, weird. So do I use the clips or not? thanks.

Mine was weird. Noticed at 70+ mainly when accelerating kinda goes away when I let off the gas. Doesn't happen when braking.

Just an update. Got the car on the ramp and looks like I have play on the inner tie rod.

cheers for the response. I shall get the car up in the air again and try the bar technique

Just a quick one .I've started to notice at around 70mph my steering wheel has a slight wobble. I jacked the car up and the front offside has a slight movement when holding 9 and 3. No movement 12 and 6. Front nearside is fine. Likely to be wheel bearing? If so should I buy OEM eg tps or...
