  1. not sure really....may be available for another country possibly
  2. absolutely, should be plenty of power from the engine to tow with
  3. Hi...welcome to the Forum In general, the diesel Sharan engine is a good one but not used in built up areas where it can clog up over time. The petrol engine therefore would be a better option for local driving
  4. HI....welcome to the Forum I'm not sure on this one, would probably contact your VW dealer and see if there is a revised version that resolves this issue. Seems to be an issue with this camera across the range so surely they must have revised it over time
  5. Hi Glynn....welcome to the Forum What are the symptoms your car is displaying which leads you to the above conclusion?
  6. Hi Simon.....welcome to the Forum You should be able to source one through any good motor factors as long as the other sections have not been modified then it should just fit straight in. Let us know what you find
  7. Hi Kirky....welcome to the Forum Lovely Touareg and great car to drive Good to have you onboard
  8. Hi Rob Common problem this one, but can't seem to find any definitive answer but suggested faults lie in the Haldex controller or even the oil level being low in the unit....worth checking out everything related to the electrical connections to and from the unit. Let us know what you find
  9. Hi....welcome to the Forum The auxiliary port is at the back of the unit and you would need to acquire one of these to fit into it once you have removed the unit and found somewhere to route it to (e.g. the glovebox) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Seat-Skoda-Aux-IN-Input-Adapter-for-IPOD-MP3-/270727493449?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f089db749
  10. Hi You should be able to obtain the code from a local VW dealer.....may have to go in for them to look it up and take the registration documents with you but otherwise they usually do this for free
  11. I would check for a vacuum leak as this could cause the symptoms you describe. Listen for any hissing under the bonnet
  12. Hi Andy Have a look at these springs on Euro Car Parts they all say with or without sports suspension (Sportline) so I would say that this is the only limiting factor to choosing a replacement unless you go for lowered springs. https://www.eurocarparts.com/coil-spring Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor
  13. Hi ....welcome to the Forum The only simple solution I can think of is Airbag suspension as a bolt on which would raise the vehicle and maintain the ride height Beyond that, sorry cannot think of any other way
  14. not sure....but one way to find out, fit it and see if the light goes out may need to clear any stored codes (if any)
  15. All airbags can be fitted by yourself as long as the battery has been disconnected for around 30 minutes to allow any electrical charge to dissipate. The SRS system looks for a resistance when the ignition is switched back on and as long as it finds the correct resistance then it the light will go out and the system becomes active. I have never encountered any sort of coding required to fit replacement SRS components.
  16. it will be plug an play, once you have reconnected the battery the system will recognise the correct resistance and accept it for use.
  17. Hi....welcome to the Forum You could try a reputable company who sell secondhand squib rings that would be perfectly useable and safe to fit A few on eBay but which ones to trust, well not sure about that one
  18. Cathy Feel free to post up some pics of the T4 and let us know how you get on with converting it to a camper
  19. Hi Depends on the year and model of VW as some would have a self adjusting method for actuating the clutch.....it could be that which has altered over a period of time. Just watch the pedal doesn't drop to the floor which is also a common fault on some models
  20. Hi Niall....welcome to the forum It suggests that there is an issue with the engine and its gone into Limp Home mode. I would scan any fault codes after clearing the memory to see if it is current or just a glitch. Let us know how it goes
  21. Hi Harry....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard Post up a pic of the Polo when you get it
  22. Hi Cathy....welcome to the Club There are so many different type of van out there that look superb and are great driving vehicles. However, the T4 is not one that is up there at the top of the list, but saying that, they were always reliable compared to the later one
  23. Hi...welcome to the Forum Simple answer.....I'm not sure! What are the benefits of replacing the system?
  24. Seized linkage joints? Worn engine mounts? Play in linkages? Clutch worn or damaged? So many possible causes, I would drop it in a garage to have it checked out before you can't select gears anymore.
  25. Hi Brent.....welcome to the Forum definitely a VW man then ! Good to have you onboard
