Hi, Can you tell me the reference of the car radio please? Are you satisfied with the quality?

Thanks for this. So in this circumstance, you would expect in summer when you get in the car and its hot, if i turned the temperature to 24 degrees, it would push cooler air if the inside car temperature was higher than that, to cool the cabin temperature to 24, and in winter push warmer air to warm that car to 24 So same temp set, but different temperatures of ar being pushed depending on the cabin temp?

Hi, I have a 2008 Touran (7 seater) which has done 205k miles, has been religiously serviced every 10k miles, with DSG oil changes on schedule (by VW Leicester), though recent services have been done by an independent using genuine VW parts. Has had new front shocks only a few weeks back (KYB shocks). Exterior some stone chips and OSF has wheel arch corrosion. Also the alloys have pitted. The interior is mint. Seats are so nice and comfortable! I’ve had it from new, was my company car and bought from VW when few months old (as I used to work for VW U.K.) it has recently started smoking from tailpipe, think it’s burning oil. Engine type is BKD. Wife wants a smaller car so offering this to sell on a parts or repairs basis. Very sad to see my touran go, but it’s time… It has MOT until 14 March 2025. Looking for sensible offers. We’re in Leicester Forest East (close to M1 Jn21), viewing/questions welcome any time. Thanks

Don't know if they cover Vw but I use a site called CalVIN for Landrover chassis enquiries. But you could just try your local Vw dealer. I collected some parts for my Daughters Polo and ask them to confirm engine size as some ViN searches had it listed as a 1.2. They gave me a 3 page print out of the vehicle build details.

Hi Peter H and welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Hi Neil I would be tempted to carry out cylinder compression or balance check to see if there is a mechanical fault present. Equally other mechanical faults such as vacuum leak could cause this fault

Just purchased a 2019 touran. Head doesn’t give me the option for apps and no built in SatNav, I presume these come with the newer versions. Just enquiring what phone holders folks have gone for in the Touran?. Cheers!

Hi, I'm viewing a 2011 Passat with original VW media screens in the headrests. I've no experience of using these in any car and was wondering how they work. From the advert photos there seems to be a USB socket. Do you simply connect your smartphone to the unit using a USB cable and whatever you're watching on your smartphone (Netflix, Amazon etc) it is shown on the screens? Are they DVD compatible as well? Hopefully someone can help.

Evening Folks I have recently put in an order for the new Golf GTE. I am in the process of getting a charging station fitted. I have been recommended to fit a BG SYNC EV station, with the WiFi turned off. This would be due to a poor signal where I am. Is it possible to start and stop charge times from the car, so I can use night tariffs? Any help, would be much appreciated. Dave

Hi, apologies if this has been covered before. I did search it and couldn't find anything. I have an 09 touran and have to replace the centre row right hand side seat belt buckle. But am struggling to see how to get the plastic trim off to access it. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated as I need to do this for mot. Many thanks

Hi, I have today bought a 2013 Touran 1.6 TDI /DSG Box, which seems fairly sound, however on the way home the tyre pressure light came on and I stopped and checked and all tyres are fine so my first job is sorting out the lamp. Drives well for a low power car. I do need a nav display and phone link set up so the list is growing.

You would need to ask your local dealership on your options as they may be able to order a lockset for the car (on the original key or a replacement one)

Does sound like the door latch mechanism is playing up, best to get it sorted before it doesn't unlock and then you won't be able to get the door open to replace it. I would try a scrapyard or ebay for a replacement (even if it is a used part, it may be better than you have already and good for the interim until you can source a new one
