Volkswagen Owners Club

Hi....welcome to the Club That sort of journey is ideal if it is motorway and extra-urban routes. As soon as you put it built up urban roads then thats where the problems start for a diesel engine clogging up. Cambelt and water pump - if in doubt get it changed and then clock the miles until the next change is due

climate control will keep the interior at a constant temperature that you have preset dual climate control means that either side can have a temperature which they can control accordingly (limited to their particular space and not overall in the vehicle)

Try this company https://www.satnavupgrades.co.uk/

Ready mixed coolant is as it is and no need for diluting If you buy 5 litres then there is more than enough to refill once drained

Without seeing which lights are on its hard to tell but generally if they are red then you have big problems, yellow (amber) then only usually advisory Let us know what was diagnosed at the service

Hi Peter H and welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Hi Neil I would be tempted to carry out cylinder compression or balance check to see if there is a mechanical fault present. Equally other mechanical faults such as vacuum leak could cause this fault

You would need to ask your local dealership on your options as they may be able to order a lockset for the car (on the original key or a replacement one)

Maybe try an external aerial Selection from ebay here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=tomtom+aerial&_sacat=131090

Does sound like the door latch mechanism is playing up, best to get it sorted before it doesn't unlock and then you won't be able to get the door open to replace it. I would try a scrapyard or ebay for a replacement (even if it is a used part, it may be better than you have already and good for the interim until you can source a new one

Sounds like a poor connection on the bulb contacts as it was working for a period and then not....would check the connections first and also could be a poor quality bulb?

I wonder if it could be the crankshaft sensor as when these fail it is usually when they get hot Try fitting a new one and see how you get on

Oh dear, nail polish remover is quite viscous stuff on plastic as you have found out I would be tempted to acquire a small amount of carbon fibre style (or just plain black or grey) vinyl from ebay and cut to shape to fit the panel

Not sure how they are connected to the audio system but would be interesting to refit the old unit to see if this cancels the errors?

Glad it worked out for you and aftermarket head units are so much better in many ways than the standard audio set up. Maybe it's popped a fuse when moving the wiring in the dash area?

sometimes they take a bit of effort to pull out but keep the removal keys in place

I know you mentioned that the car has been standing for some time in your previous post. Therefore, I would first look at wiring connections and the condition of cables leading to the transmission and control units

Hi....welcome to the Club Hope you can make a good one out of the two cars. Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club Hope you're successful in your search and feel free to share you find on here

Not sure how far away the exhaust is from the rubber driveshaft gaiter and whether it is affecting the rubber (scorching it, drying it out, etc) I would pop into the local VW dealership and ask them to look it up on their parts system - if they can't order it at least you'll know the part number

Hi....welcome to the Club Enjoy your Touareg and good to have you onboard!

Not sure but have heard about this sort of issue before and from memory it was a DSG fault. Maybe look in the www.audiownersclub.com and do a search for DSG shuddering or banging as seem to recall something on that forum

It definitely sounds like a release bearing which may be slightly contacting the clutch cover plate diaghragm. This can be caused by incorrect clearance (if it is manually adjustable) - this will need to be checked that the marginal gap is there. Sometimes it can be aggravated by the driver resting their foot on the clutch pedal and this takes up the clearance which means the bearing is spinning with the engine rotation which if anything more than idle can wear the bearing and create the noise. Once you depress the pedal then the bearing is under load and the noise disappears. Alternatively it could be a cheap clutch kit which includes the bearing.

Oh dear, does sound like a transmission issue and would need recovering to a garage to diagnose further. Get a quote before committing to any repairs as this could be expensive

I think DPF came in late 2007
