    Help needed - What would you do?

    Thanks again Spartacus - tool ordered. I’ve found that the 32pin connector to the B&O amp isnkt getting a 12v feed. The fuses on the right side of the boot are good, and the fuse socket (G5, 30amp) has voltage across it, so it look like an issue with the wiring loom . It’s the gift that keeps...

    Help needed - What would you do?

    Thanks Spartacus, I had front drain plug issues a few years ago and dropped the roofliner (to B pillars) and sikaflexed it all up, including the connectors - not a leak from the fronts since. Do you have a link to the RS tool you mention please? Getting the grab handles off last time was a...

    I have Dynamic steering but I don't have VCDS. If you're down near Bristol you're welcome to come and scan mine to see. In return I could use a full scan with VCDS :)

    Help needed - What would you do?

    Hey all, long time since I've posted, will keep this as short & succinct as possible. Background: My 3.0TDI S-line Avant Tiptronic is pretty poorly, and I need to weigh up fixing vs replacing. Car has done 112k, has literally every option from factory, owned by me for 7 years and fits my life...

    Name this part!

    Thanks for everyone's responses (I didn't get a notification the last two so sorry for delay). Might anyone have a part number for this please? Car is booked in for a full service on Wednesday so hoping my garage can also get this done if they order the part beforehand.

    Name this part!

    Thanks NHN. It's literally leaking from where I've circled it. My thought was Air con because it was mainly air coming out, along with a sort of residue - i know the air con gas contains lubricant. I was a bit scared to turn my car back on after all the smoke coming out from the bonnet, but...

    Name this part!

    Hey guys, I turned my car on yesterday and after about 3 mins of running on the driveway I noticed smoke coming from under the bonnet. I shut the engine off, opened the bonnet and there was a loud hissing sound coming from somewhere. I managed to pinpoint it to the location circled. I'm unsure...

    Removed electronic dampers - dash light

    I thought that Carista tweak would just remove the option of adaptive suspension on individual mode configuration.

    Electric Tailgate won’t fully open

    Thanks Carmel - I always wondered how the boot opened - now I know! :-) Good shout re: 450N struts, I'll go OEM.

    Electric Tailgate won’t fully open

    Thanks, but that link doesn't work. Are both struts powered on the tailgate, or is it only one side, with the other just being passive? Just trying to figure out if I need to buy a powered one or not basically.

    Electric Tailgate won’t fully open

    Do you have a link to the struts please? Mine only opens 3/4 too (tried reprogramming several times) and would be interested in replacing the struts.
