I failed my MOT a few weeks back due to having LED headlight bulbs set in projector lenses. Apparently the headlight unit is stamped with a code that states it is Halogen or Xenon etc. so even with the correct projector lens fitted if the unit still has the wrong code then they will still fail...

I was just wondering, my 2008 2.0TDI 170 has failed its emissions test for the last 3 years on the bounce. It get oil changes every 5000miles it is maintained impeccably. Before every MOT I unmap the car and put it back to standard, check the DPF loadings in VCDS, chuck a bottle of Emissions...

Bit of an update. I got a genuine part from TPS which was a direct swap but also got the same part with the A revision just to see. Turns out the parts are practically identical apart from the way it clips into the filter is flipped a complete 180 so does not fit

Cam belt/Waterpump change yesterday and also changed the aux tensioner and idler. Managed to snap the fuel filter bleed valve when changing the fuel filter so put on the Black Edition front whilst i wait for parts.

I have unfortunately snapped the end off the valve that sits in top of the fuel filter on my 2008 2.0 TDI 170bhp. I am really struggling to find this part, i have found allot that look extremely similar but the last letter on the part number never matches. I am looking for part number 1J0 127...

Did you get them to change the gearbox oil as part of the service?

How are you guys tightening the driveshaft to hub nut? I had the shaft off mine in the past myself and had to get a special socket and then borrow an extra long torque wrench to do the 200NM and then the 180 degree angle tighten. This was the reason i have always left it to a garage when it...

Speaking from experience buy the best you can, i had a new drivers side shaft fitted after the outer CV joint on the original shaft split. I kid you not my car went back to the garage 7 times. The outer boot kept coming off, and twisting throwing all the grease out, it was changed under...

Try changing the fuel filter next

Could be coolant leaking internally through the EGR cooler, quite common

Get a multimeter and preform a parasitic drain test, you have to flip the latch on the door so it thinks its locked otherwise the cars systems wont fully go to sleep then pop off the fuse cover and test across each of the fuses

Finally after nearly 3 years of ownership i bothered to take some nice pictures.

Still got absolutely nowhere with this. Check every fuse twice. And the wiring im completely stumped

knowing how much kids like to mess about with such things it was first thing I checked lol

I recently upgraded my front door speakers and they have been working great but all of a sudden both drivers and passenger side speakers stopped working. The wiring is fine, the door looms are fine, the fact that both stopped at the same time suggests something else. I have checked the whole...

I have already had to replace the engine and gearbox tray as apart of my Avant ownership but yesterday whilst at motor way speeds the large plastic tray that runs the length of the passenger sill broke free and destroyed the little plastic covers in front and behind. Not wanting to spend a...

Could also be the ASV playing up. Some folks have success b removing the plastic endcap over the motor and cleaning all the oil out but some say the oil should be in there.

I have had to remove my headlights a number of times to change bulbs and due to the adjustable fixings that un adjust when you remove the headlight I have to take the bus down the local MOT centre each time and bung the chap £10 to adjust the beams back to where they need to be. So annoying

you need to preform a parasitic battery drain test with a multimeter. Basically shut the car down but keep a door open but flick the latch on the door so it appears closed and turn of interior sensors. Once the car has gone to sleep its time to test all of the fuses to see if any current is...

Remove it and blank it off, that's what I did when mine stopped working
