Make sure the immobiliser chip hasn't fallen out when changing the battery - had that happen to me before

That's great to know - thanks for the feedback and glad it was something simple

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

Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

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=

Does the iCarSoft scanner have TPMS reset function (in service apps on homescreen) ?

Either a loose connection but more than likely an update may be required

Great conversion and seem to be using it frequently

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the detailed feedback once more Tom....always interested to know how issues can be resolved with imported vehicles

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

Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

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

Merry Christmas to the members of the Volkswagen Owners Club Enjoy the festive break and see you back here in 2025

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

How have you managed to get on with it now its been a few weeks?

Hi Tom Thanks for posting your informative write up on your experiences with an imported car, interesting read and quite a lot of information I wasn't previously aware of. In regards to the DAB radio, here is one you could consider from a UK company https://www.iceboxauto.com/vw-passat-2013-17-gps-navi-android-11-carplay-oem-style-radio-vw105 Good luck with it all and please let us know how you get on

Not sure of specific makes and models but there are bluetooth versions I believe that are wireless so less intrusive to the vehicle electronics

Hi....welcome to the Club! Good to have you onboard

Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

yes that sounds about right then

First thought is steering wheel angle not stopping the key or foot on the brake, gear selector in park (if automatic)
