drive it around for a week or so with the warning & it's now gone?.. oh well.. fixed itself

Evening, Just been out in my b6 and now have an amber warning it’s a image of an oil can with sensor. A quick Google suggests a faulty oil level sensor, wiring or fuse. I’m not going to have chance to check too much other than the fuse and oil level until the weekend, I assume it’s fine to...

Bit of a long shot, does it start up fine when cold? just thinking possibly air bubble in the fuel lines so not so much a case of warming up but purging out the air and it then running fine? Like i say.. a long shot, but just something that came to mind. I'm not sure what these cars do...

Did you get this sorted? That brass pipe you refer too, is that the one going to the EGR? if so maybe the EGR is causing you the issue? I'm impressed you've done a turbo having never done anything mechanical :) my turbo has been sticking on & off for years now & i'm too scared to attempt a...

When you're stopped (not sure if engine needs to be on or not.. try both) Press the brake pedal hard & hold it for a while. See if the pedal slowly drops to the floor. I had an issue with a mk4 golf, where normal braking seemed fine around town, but trying an emergency stop wasn't.. it wouldn't...

Hope you've sorted the issue, Funnily enough, i came on here to have a look at possible leaky spots on the B6 as i've noticed damp/wet carpet in mine last week. Mine is the passenger front & back footwell.. so instantly thought it has to be the plenum drain under the battery.. had a look & it's...

I'm several years on & it still does it! probably worse now than back when i initially posted this. As for the source, I'm pretty certain it's the turbo, I get limp mode a bit too often now a days (but the car doesn't get used much these days) So, I suspect the vanes are sticking/clogged so...

I've seen stickers for the buttons to make them look 'better' if that what you're after. As for smartening up the actual plastics.. i doubt you'd manage that with a paint? but happy to be proved wrong

Thought it must be just something like that, will do as you suggest. Must get some of that electrical contact cleaner, the right hand rear light had a bit of moisture in it

I've currently got 2 Bulb warnings that are a bit intermittent. One is the rear right brake light, which looks like a bit of corrosion. But the other is the Rear LEFT fog light bulb?... there isn't a rear left bulb. When the warning is lit the rear RIGHT fog bulb (bottom one in the holder) isn't...

Ignore me.. think i've found it in a thread after posting this! N90927302 by the look of it

Hi All, Does anyone happen to know the part number for the Rubber O-ring for the egr valve connection? It's for a 2004 1.9 tdi (AVF) Had a bit of oil leaking from the egr for a while now, so I am going to remove the egr in the next few weeks & give it a clean up & as the oil appears to be coming...

Any ideas on labour time a garage would charge for? I'm going to enquire about the cost of getting it replaced (labour only) before deciding what to do, just nice to have an idea on the number of hours to get an idea on what the quote is like. I've been living with the occasional limp mode, I...

Anyone every tried a shifty ebay turbo? one of those 'too good to be true' things? They have ones shipped from uk for £159 Don't think i'd risk it unless anyone has any good experiences of them? Also, found a company called precision turbos, they sell refurbished ones on ebay for £230.. might be...

Just took my lad out to some shops a short run down the motorway, car was running ok. On the way back i went to overtake a car, typically just as i was by the side of the car limp mode kicked in!.. so i couldn't overtake then lol.. had to give in & slowly creep back behind the car i was...

yeah i've read about the oven cleaner... might be worth a try i guess. I'll see what the access is like on my car to remove whatever is needed to do that. never actually thought to look on eurocarparts lol!.. i'll have a gander, cheers

For quite a while now I've been getting intermittent Limp mode, normally when taking it to higher revs and up hill. I've had a look at the actuator in the past & that has been pretty stiff to move so am assuming it's the usual sticky vanes, I've tried the turbo cleaner fuel additive that...

The latest Woe with my b6. Recently I've noticed the steering is creaking when making big turns/parking etc.. don't really notice when just turning a little. Anyone got any simple suggests to cheer me up as I'm feeling front suspension top mounts/arms... which will be an expensive job no doubt...

umm lol.. no idea then, unless somehow the thread the arm sits on is a bit bent? Faulty aero blade maybe? Sorry i'm out of ideas

Just a couple of thoughts, Is the wiper arm slightly bent? or have a weak spring? I have aero blades on my b6 without issue, so assume they should be ok as long as the arms are still in good shape
