I rate Falken as a mid-range tyre and have never had any issues with them in the past on most cars
-
Great drawing! better than I could for sure 🙂
I would say from the drawing that the indentation is the lowest and highest marks for the oil level.
The plastic pip is possibly to avoid oil running back along the stick when checking it??-

Are any of the sensors on the windscreen covered in mud, etc?
If so this could be giving a false reading of an object in the path of the car
-
You could try some premium tyres as GT Radial tyres are more budget to medium tyres and they would be noisierÂ
-
Oh dear an expensive time then.
DMF and clutch would make quite a noise when switching the engine on and off but not normally when running which is strange.
I did think it may be injector related which also could contribute to undue wear and tear in the DMF.Fuel filter and flush could work but don't leave the injector like that for long as damage to the engine could result in a larger bill than replacing the one injector.
Also check the oil is not diluted with diesel washing down into the oil and change if necessary along with the filter -
That's great news and thanks for sharing with the forum.....ideal solution and cheaper than the dealership
-
Curious about your username.....what bike do you have?
-
Worth checking the crankshaft sensor as no signal from that then no signal to the injectors
-
You could also get a custom exhaust made in stainless steel and cheaper than you think
Also saves a lot of weight over the original system and can tune the exhaust sound/tone to your preferences
-
If there is excessive movement in the engine then I would look at scanning the system and looking what the injectors are doing (readings should be even for all cylinders if not the there is a faulty one)
-
If the engine backs off on power at a certain rev range then chances are it is the turbo variable vanes sticking with carbon deposits.
Try a cleaner such as this and it should improve after a good blast to clear it throughor even this one:
-
Not entirely sure but if it were me I would smear a compound such as Aryldite around the circumference of the plug and observe it over time for leaks

Hi ..... welcome to the Club
I'm not personally sure about a way around this without going to the dealer but I would chat with a local VW specialist as they may be able to do this via their diagnostic platformÂ

Here is a useful guide to determine tyre sizes

It could be a defective key and the other one was a replacement owing to this?
It may be worth stripping down to see if there is any damage or debris within the key assembly
It is a common fault on Renault/Nissan for the microswitches to completely detach from the circuit board and this may also be the case with yours? -
-
I believe the engine management light will stay on for a short period and if it disappears when the engine is started then it is not a current fault.
You could get the system scanned for fault codes to ensure there is not an issue with the vehicle. -
I think this is something you can discuss with the garage servicing the car and it should be possible to change the service settings and also the oil specifications to suit
-
It sounds like it is the spiral cable (SRS clock spring) which connects the SRS and other steering functions to the vehicle
As the steering wheel turns you can hear a grating noise and this is a telltale sign that the cable is breaking up or rubbing through
Has the car had any work done to it recently? (Steering Rack, Tracking, Steering Wheel removed, etc)?
-
Not sure of wire gauge but will be relatively thin as not a huge current going through them.
If in doubt go for the larger diameter wire as can carry higher current and should still crimp into a connector without any issues -
Hi
It is worth checking the ABS sensors to ensure they are functioning correctly as this can cause a similar issue.
Scan for fault codes as this will direct you more specifically to a fault within the vehicle -
You don't mention which engine it has but if it is a diesel engine then it may be air in the fuel filter area and also check for intercooler hose connections to ensure they are tight
If not rectified then maybe take it back to the garage who did the work for them to check it overÂ
-
Possibly if you loosen the intercooler clamps then you may be able to bias slightly further away so it doesn't rub
-
Not sure about this one, sorry but may need to consult the handbook to see if it is possible
Pano roof
in Volkswagen Passat Club
Posted
I would advise take it to the dealer and see if there is a recall as some pano roofs can shatter if there is too much movement as you are describing.
