Volkswagen Owners Club

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)

thanks for the feedback

Best to sift through this information as it doesn't seem to be a simple answer and would research it https://www.google.com/search?q=does+g40+succeed+g13&rlz=1C5MACD_en&oq=does+g40+succeed+g13&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigAdIBCTE4MTE2ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Hi...welcome to the Club Best to put your registration number in EuroCarParts website and see which option it gives you - chain or belt Very accurate and do that each time I want to know which it is

How did you get on with the colour choice.....did you commit to a particular one?

I would be tempted to try eBay and put a starting price of whatever you think is reasonable. If it doesn't exceed the starting price then it won't sell and nothing lost but at least you'll know what its worth then and can reduce the price next time round or leave open to offers. Alternatively, we buy any car and increase their valuation by 25% or so for a more realistic valuation

I wonder if it is a bumper protector for when you are loading things into the boot and avoids scratching the paint?

4x4 direct are a very good supplier of sidesteps....have used the company before and reasonable prices. Fitting - now that is another ballgame, not the easiest to fit so would entrust a garage to do this

The usual fault is that the battery is not strong enough that when the engine is starting the voltage drops too low and flags a fault for the Electric Power Steering (EPS) and takes the steering offline. Have the battery checked for condition and replace if necessary - this is the best place to start your diagnosis

Sounds like it could be a firmware or software update is required for the audio system to enable the Aux to be used Alternatively will the phone not connect via bluetooth?

Difficult one to source the water getting in. A smoke generator is your best bet and if you want to save money then buy one as useful to have for a variety of uses. See link below for cheap one through eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175045189596?_skw=smoke+generator&itmmeta=01J8Q2TD01Q82T85KJH2K05RE7&hash=item28c1819fdc:g:bLsAAOSwmSRm8OcX&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl9GzdaNeHOwXZ5wldCkX0Zi99YEpQXBsz7B0FU4A07LLT8Yj8wnTJo4VROSMXmpQ4J4BRYLtBSP4%2Bg56i1xsJx%2Bt7rQG3x2X1QKVijjjlTT6mL4HEOEyFR450NXikd2MnT%2BC9wynl2qpmbx29db7%2BtA64D2fiy%2FL3zMBHx8LXQITMCOp9GQZl4QkMbYughjRo48NwhgCItXjNYzltbwYf92sYGHOy%2Fm0XRb107ObXk%2FN9ggkvmTGzSWJcjCvKIJBU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5LQ6eLFZA

Usually a third service will be a small one, much like the first service There may be options such as coolant or brake fluid change which is usually chargeable on top of the service price

Is there an issue with the microphone (or an obstruction to it which could affect the sound quality)?

I'm not sure but wondering if you do actually have an auxiliary heater as the system may be looking for something that isn't actually there? The airbags, not sure again but could substitute a resistance (i used noid lamps - used for testing injector pulsing which has the correct resistance of an airbag). If the code clears then the resistance for the airbag is out and doesn't involve putting a voltage across the airbag which is dangerous (could deploy them)

HI...welcome to the Club Hope you don't experience too many problems in the near future Good to have you onboard!

in a nutshell.....yes thats right a lot of people set it to 20 degrees at all times which is comfortable in summer and winter....any cooler and it can get too cold/hot Also, in winter when the windows are steamed up the switch the system to recycle as this will draw down the moisture from the inside. Don't use recycle air supply in the summer as this can dry out the interior (and passengers) too much and become uncomfortable...switch to fresh air supply

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)
