    I had a problem when my 2007 1.9tdi Touran went into limp home mode. The tester said OVERBOOST Crawled under car and pulled on the Turbo boost arm and it was free so not jammed by soot. Bought a second hand vacuum control box, (NOT the N75 as stated in some you tube videos Removed battery for access To remove box undo four torx screws, then slip off two clips on the hose plug end, finally unclip the control electric plug, reverse procedure to refit. Only pain in the backside was the torx screwsm, you cannot see all of them and you need something like a 1/4 drive with a short extension to get in their and apply enough pressure to undo them, mi…

    My sister in law replaced her headlight units on her 2011? Polo.The units she fitted take H7 bulbs (single filament) where as the originals took H4 bubs (2 filament). This means when she puts on full beam the dipped element goes off! Is there an easy workaround or will she need to replace the headlight units for the correct part e.g one that take H4 bulbs? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi all I have a VW Golf TSI Plus Reg 2009. The engine (I am told) needs to be replaced after a compression test. The question is do I pay to have a replacement engine in the car or scrap it. The body work and interior is good and I bought it for £5,000 in May 22.

    I just recently had my timing chain and turbo replaced on my 2016 VW Golf SuperSport. Used an independent mechanic and not the dealership. After getting it back, the engine makes a loud screeching noise when I open the hood, doors, trunk and start the car. Sounds like something is trying to cycle but is getting stuck. Acc light and EPC lights are on. Today I noticed that my gas mileage is very poor and after driving it for a long period of time, I had white smoke coming from the engine. I had it towed back to the mechanic. Any input on solutions, other than getting a new mechanic. Feeling a little sick to my stomach after paying a lot of money to have it fixed. …

    Hi my name is Neil and I'm new here also have a problem with my car that a standard garage have basically said they don't know what's wrong and to take it to an auto electrician which I'm trying to avoid, the code is cylinder 2 misfire and I've done all the normal things, changed spark plugs and coils, had a new injector fitted, changed the MAF sensor, put a new breather pipe for the oil and it still doesn't work, every time you press the accelerator pedal more than about 2cm it judders like crazy and gets worse in higher gears and when it judders it makes the engine management light flash, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
