I'm the proud owner of a 10 plated 1.9i automatic but I've an issue I need to address. When I start her up I have to put it into reverse and draw back a cpl off feet then put into drive where I have to wait for it to "bump" forward!!! What could be the issue and how could I fix said issue. Thanks in advance.

I have just bought a 2009 Sharan 1.9tdi and I'm looking for some parts. Namely a set of alloy wheels, front bumper mesh grille and some seat belt anchor covers. Where is the best place to source parts from?

Hi All, Has anyone else done this? I'm part way through and would be interested in others experiences in particular adding in a leisure battery. Easy or not?

Hi all, I have SHARAN highline Jap import, that developed a recent battery drain. Had it a few years but this fault recently manifested. It has an aftermarket ESSGOO android double din head unit, which came with vehicle. I have double checked it is correctly installed. All functions work Inc mfsw steering wheel, Park assist, doors opening reverse camera. A can bus adapter is fitted which I'm assuming is working correctly because it allows headunit to communicate with car and perform afore mentioned functions. The permanent and switched live all correspond with OEM quadlock. The head unit will turn on and off with ignition. The head unit completely powers down with ig…

I have just been to see a 2014 sharan I’m wanting to purchase but oddly the heating only seemed to warm up on the drivers side, was so odd, and the ones in the back above doors were also not getting warm? Anyone know what this could be and if it’s expensive to fix? Many thanks

Hi I am a new member to this site and require some help on a DRL light issue. I have replaced the DRL bulb on the right hand side of my 2014 Sharan, and all worked well. I now have an issue with the bulb not working, dashboard warning and left side working OK. I have checked the bulb and all is OK, I have cleaned the connectors and still cannot get working. Has anyone else had this issue and what was the fix ? Could you please help, Thanks in advance

I've replaced my 07 Alhambra Nav head unit with a £50 Android unit. This works brilliantly but I am now without heated seats or windscreens. ESP cancel also not functioning. I have two plugs which went into the back of the old nav unit. One is a yellow/blue/green block. The other is grey with blue locking clip. The Android unit has no sockets for these, only the black and brown connectors. Any suggestions? As far as I know the old unit did not control these items. How are they interlinked and can it be bypassed? Any help much appreciated. Dave

New here so apologies if I get some protocol wrong. I've looked at many videos etc onremoving the double din unit. I have used the removal keys and the unit comes part way out then stops. it doesn't slide out easily as in the videos. Mine seems to have something else at the back to undo. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks Dave

Hi well loved 2005 VW sharan 1.9 TDi, was driving fine, parked up at shops, came back and no lights or dials on dash when I turn the key except door open light, and won’t fire, turns over no problem. Towed back to house, checked battery, checked fuses, new relay 109 still no joy!!! Seams like no ECU com/no fuel pump? Could it be the immobiliser? Tried disconnecting battery and shorting red and black wires still nothing. Now the alarm goes off when I reattach the battery!! Anyone else had this or know what the problem might be???? Please help 😢

Hello, Last year I bought an '04 Sharan with just 24k on the clock(yeah, crazy). A few urgent issues that needed to be sorted and now done(new oil pump, coolant leak), so she's running smoothly now(touchwood!) On last service, 2 things came up that will require work sooner rather than later, one of them corroded door sills. I'd like to get a quote on it. Can anyone recommend someone to do the work please? I'm in the Milton Keynes area. Thanks Dave

I got my Sharan June 2023 and really like it, apart from the dipped headlights. I have fitted +200 lights from Halford, they give a bright light but are no better on the distance they light. I can't fit LEDs. Any suggestions please?

Can’t find a part anywhere- part no 006311692c gearbox selector any ideas would be very helpful thank you

I drive a VW Sharan 2015 auto. For the last few days, the car has been shaking quite badly from around 30-40mph. After that it calms done and then as the speed climbs the steering vibrates. I don't think its alignment as it drives straight. Has anyone had a similar issue with a VW Sharan.

Hi, I'm currently selling my Sharan - it's on Auto Trader and Gumtree, and all I've had is a tonne of absolute chancers - tyre kickers and rude offers! So my question is: is there anywhere better than Auto Trader and Gumtree? Or are the chancers, time wasters and tyre kickers just a fact of life that I need to get over? Any tips greatly welcomed! Thanks Chris

Hi. I owned VW sharan 2012 TSI 1.4 with auto gear,for almost a year . It's quite good car. But little worried about fuel consumption, I can see from the trip computer that the fuel consumption is 11.4 l/100km inside the city usually,is that a regular consumption according to your experience , which thing I need to check if its high consumption.

Hi. I've owned a number of mk1 Sharans, which I loved but I've just bought a 2009 Alhambra Ecomotive because my last Sharan finally died. However I've got a problem which is fairly similar to something that happened on my Sharan Sport some years ago. The car has the engine management light on and when started says "Emissions Workshop". I drive it and after a while the flashing glow plug light comes on and it enters limp home mode. There is a slight smell of exhaust gases in the car when the heater is on and at night I can see some smoke (presume exhaust) coming from the front grill. The car accelerates before it goes into limp mode but it is noisy -…

Hi I have a 2015 2.0 TD Sharan with 84k miles on the clock, I have an intermittent clunking noise coming from the front of the car which I thought was related to steering/ suspension. Garage has checked it out twice and can’t find anything wrong. Realised today the clunking noise is when I change gear (manual) and the clutch engages Anyone have any idea what is causing so I can give the garage some pointers? thanks

Hello everyone. I am very puzzled right now with my 2012 VW Sharan 1.4TSI. My wife and I were driving home on Sunday evening along the M4 and all of a sudden I got the EPC light come up and the car lost all drive. I gradually rolled to a stop (thankfully in an SOS layby as the stretch I was on had no hard shoulder.) When we reached a stop, the engine cut out, and wouldn’t restart, or at least it would restart for about a second and then immediately die. During the 13 hour process between breaking down and being recovered to our nearest VW specialist garage and then home (thanks for nothing AA - that’s a whole other story) between the highways agency recovery driver, the A…

I have a bottle in the boot of my sharan, in one the little side panels got no idea what it’s for. Can someone please help me and tell me what I put in it

Hi All, Please, can anybody give me a piece of advice, what I can do with a broken front spring in an old MK1 sport version. I have tried numerous car parts shops, nobody has the coil spring, everybody point me to the VW dealership for replacement. I have called them £225 each, need a pair. So without labour £450 just the part. The spring has a colour code, 1 WHITE 1 YELLOW 1 BLUE. It is factory lowered kit, around 30 mm, this is what I was told. Is there any alternative solution? I saw lowering kit from 250 pound with 4 spring kit that is 30 mm as well, what If I buy something like that? Any breaker who might have this part? Any advice…

I have an issue, or think i might have.. I bought a 2015 Sharan Bluemotion a year ago. 74K miles, done 82k miles now. I have never added Adblue to the car yet and never had any warning either till now. Can the warning be turned off, wondering if this was done at some point. Any ideas..?

Dropped the engine under-tray today to change the engine oil and filter and noticed a slight oil leak coming from the small end cap just below the gearbox filler. Does anyone know if this cap can be replaced externally or will it involve being fitted from inside the gearbox which means a strip down. 2016 2.0Ltr Tdi 6 speed manual NFZ box Thanks in advance.
