  1. I personally would put in a google search for Webasto roof and see what comes up but any of those search terms should also produce result
  2. wow! that's going back some years! Haven't seen one of those for many years. It was a roll back roof made a company called Webasto - not sure you'll be able to acquire one unless it is from a scrap car but doubt the condition after all these years would make it useable and water-tight
  3. I would think that a simple 'remap' of the Engine ECU would sort it out but shouldn't be doing that on a new car so I would throw it back at VW and says its dangerous and see what they offer
  4. I believe the water pump is externally mounted from the timing chain assembly (but please do check) in which case it shouldn't need routine replacement as it would do if it was belt driven
  5. I would take it back to address the issue with them - if they were willing to acknowledge the fault and replace components then the liability is with them However it could just be a case of reprogramming the vehicle electronic systems to resolve this issue?
  6. It would be best to go to your local dealership parts department and see what they list to fit your car
  7. Is there a side panel at the end of the dash that can be removed? It may only be able to be removed from the rear, behind the dash - maybe able to view it better if the glovebox / lower dash is removed
  8. Make sure the immobiliser chip hasn't fallen out when changing the battery - had that happen to me before
  9. That's great to know - thanks for the feedback and glad it was something simple
  10. The first place I would start is the battery condition and security of connections, etc It is possible it could be reading the wrong voltage if it needs to be programmed in
  11. Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  12. Try eBay as a starting point https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_1838652?toolid=20012&mkcid=1&campid=5338906902&siteid=3&mkrid=710%2D53481%2D19255%2D0&customid=
  13. Does the iCarSoft scanner have TPMS reset function (in service apps on homescreen) ?
  14. Either a loose connection but more than likely an update may be required
  15. Great conversion and seem to be using it frequently
  16. I don't believe it will need coding if it is a direct replacement part The only time it would be necessary is if it is part of the ADAS system on the windscreen and then it would need to be calibrated
  17. I would consult a campervan specialist as there will be items such as charging relay and switches that would need to be added to ensure it is safe from overcharging, etc
  18. It does sound like the resistors have burnt out and if speed 3 drops out it only leaves speed 4 directly running through no resistors. Here is a link to the part which is incredibly cheap - fitting may be a little awkward but easy enough to replace https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370625832914?fits=Car+Make%3AVW|Cars+Year%3A2012|Model%3ATouran&_skw=2012+vw+touran+heater+resistor&itmmeta=01JJP7V9E9KSY7N66MPF2HBNVX&hash=item564b0567d2:g:8cEAAOSwhilZaIht&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKn%2BBd4b61r9iUk5%2Fni3yiSZj5X%2Be0hU4IK8WwT8qKVFWC%2FkcRTTnAu1395RkkrqdEk5vHPx3AgcWnYw2L84rYqk4713Rm208dVjfWBPVzexWeWvOZynUIAxkgiiQGgouYywmmX2%2F1Zq5cUYWsislXEsdV8WYGNNsvEIwYjyqNH38aUVpnxLXG4tb7oB5FkIm%2BHU98TCM%2Bu3NhYp7erJn2NK6bU5Jr2l%2FqDdwZYtlcaCMNkUWRGU%2FwGIhiTeAR5xe1JdxorzqcZU9dgdTheY4rv74Mo4AZDqyds3btv3FUXJplfQ3Hdu8mDZk1N2c8yqaN8%3D|tkp%3ABFBMpJftx5Vl
  19. It would be interesting to know what they find during the service - whether it is a mechanical or electronic issue. Maybe just needs some recoding to restore the correct settings
  20. Thanks for the detailed feedback once more Tom....always interested to know how issues can be resolved with imported vehicles
  21. not tried them but would imagine any protection is better than nothing especially in supermarket car parts If you do get some and try it out then do let us know how you get on with it
  22. Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  23. I would be tempted to return it to the mechanic that originally replaced the timing chain and give them a chance to review their work as it may be possible something has not gone back correctly when reassembling. The fact that the engine is running is a good sign that it is not timing chain related (we hope) but more anciliary items such as Air Conditioning pump or drivebelt that is too loose/tight, loose pipe(s)....worth checking the obvious stuff first which may be easy to resolve
  24. Merry Christmas to the members of the Volkswagen Owners Club Enjoy the festive break and see you back here in 2025
  25. Not sure if these are the ones you are looking for, certainly cheap enough https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=volkswagen+undertray+clips&_sacat=0
