I wouldn't worry too much at this stage but worth keeping an eye on over time. If the oil is leaking or even weeping from the dampers then you will have an issue then

you can get a memory saver which will retain all the settings while you change the battery Some types have an internal battery rather than connecting leads to another battery, etcc https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=battery+memory+saver&_sacat=131090

there's one or two in there for sale https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=vw+passat+2009+anti+roll+bar&_sacat=131090

Usually when wiring is subjected to water ingress it can damage the wire and cause high resistance which could be the reason you have this issue. just cut back the wiring to a good point and put new in place, should cure the fault

Have you tried some adhesive on the inside of the hose, has worked for me in the past

As far as I remember that is the way to do it safely as takes the stress off the cambelt loosening and tightening the pulley bolt

If the key is proving to be faulty then it is worth replacing but I would go to a specialist automotive locksmith who can programme the key to your car a lot cheaper than a garage, and especially a VW dealership

Not sure but worth checking with your local dealership parts department as they would have images for both models and see if there is any difference in the general shape/size of the rear silencer

I generally use my iPhone as a bluetooth connected device and stream music from YouTube (Premium so that you don't get the adverts) Works on most vehicles I have paired the phone with

Hi Garry. Sorry to hear your sad news. Unfortunately, I do not know of any such club but it is worth asking the local VW dealership as they may some memory of one running out from there in the 70's or even posting on the local facebook groups in the hope that someone may remember this club? Regards, Trevor (admin)

You should be able to set it up in the vehicle settings (see you handbook) If not, then the car has not been setup correctly for the UK roads and I would pop it back to your local dealer for them to have a quick look to see if they can make the setting correct

If there is an imbalance and it disappears over a certain speed then it is a dynamic imbalance in the wheel/tyre and the wheel needs balancing Also, check the tyres are round (e.g. not oval, distorted or has a bulge on the tread area) seen loads like this and causes such an issue

I would take it into the garage for a check over as could be dangerous if knocking (tapping is okay as suggests lighter metallic impact)

Usually there is a plug there within the vicinity of where the lamps would fit

Breakers yard would be the best place to start

I know the inertia switch which trips in an accident can sometimes cause problems but think that only cuts the fuel Have you got fuel to the injectors?

Hi Chris....welcome to the Club The tuneup will definitely help with the torque when towing a caravan as I'm sure you will have already noticed Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club How has it gone with the repairs.....all sorted now?

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

Hi Andrew.....welcome to the Club Its a fine looking Golf...particularly like the colour Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club I would examine the vehicles' service history and see that it has been carried out correctly and on time. Certainly good oil is an investment for longer turbo life and allowing it to cool down for a while before switching the engine off. Otherwise, it is a chance you take that the previous owner has looked after it properly

Which model is this? electric?

Hi....welcome to the Club I would start by carrying out any essential servicing tasks (ones you can confidently carry out yourself) which enhance the reliability and drivability. After that then its your choice to improve comfort whether thats the suspension or interior? Let us know how it all goes

Not sure but I imagine your local dealer would be obliging enough to guide you in finding the default back to english at no cost
