Success!

Well Mostly success..

Because I'm using LEDs the Lamp failure warning illuminates on the dash when I use the bike rack.
And, the reversing sensors are not disabled when the lights are...

Perfect, Thanks Umai Naa / Pistoncranky. Im heading in Saturday morning to do the coding, so I'll splice it in in the day or so..
Fingers crossed it all works as advertised!!
Thanks again

The Windscreen in my 2013 103TDi cracked in February. I had it replaced with the OEM unit at Bayside VW in Melbourne.
I did the usual ring around to Windscreen O'Brien, Instant Windscreens etc....

Hi Guy's, Im back on the CANbus business...Too many projects on the go at once! I have located the foam covered connector(s) under the dash next to the fuse box, pulled them out and now need to know...

Hi Guys, sorry for not checking the thread and sharing more info, so heres the follow up.
I had the Heavy Duty Hayman Reese tower fitted by CarBars from Pakenham/Mornington. Excellent job and would...

Guys, How do I know which CAN-bus wires need to be joined together under the dash?

I ended up buying the Collapsable wheel from Audi, bargained them down to $1500 for the thing. Its still a 20 inch rim with the deflated tyre wrapped around it. I picked up a nice storage bag on eBay...

Ahhh, Yep, It is pre-wired...
The connector was stowed in the body work behind the vehicle jack storage compartment....

That explains why the fuse positions are occupied...

So, given that its...

Hi All,

I'm installing the Genuine Westfalia Trailer hitch wiring loom into my MY13.5 5N Tiguan.
Im a bit stuck on the fuse box wiring, and exactly what the pictorial instructions are telling...

Guy's, I've just bought an ex Demo MY16 Q7. Pretty happy with the purchase and keen to get my hands on it!
However....no spare tyre of any sort....just a can of glue and a compressor...I know this...

Yeah, I dropped a string line down from the outside of the guards, front & rear, and measured between the string and the wheel. The current wheels sit only about 12-13mm inside the guards,
So this...

Hi Tigger73,
You're right, the rims/tyres I'm looking at won't work on a Tiguan.
The 29 offset with 18x8 wheels and 245/45 tyres will push it out about 10mm past the body work...I just discovered...

FYI, Here is a pic of the 18in wheel I'm looking at.
Cheers

I've found out the OffSet, it's ET29 & they're 18x8's
Will this push the wheel in towards the car or out away from the body?

The 245/45/18 size Tyre would have a about a 10mm smaller outside rolling diameter than the standard 215/65/R16 currently fitted (When new), how much do you think this would affect the speedo?

The...

Hey All,
Does any one know the offset of Audi A5 Wheels?
I'm looking at a second hand set of 18inch wheels from an A5, details are a bit scetchy, but they are fitted with 245/45/18 tyres and have...

Yeah, bad press on the DSG has hurt VW Australia, I was looking at used machines, 2011 onwards,all around 35k
Last month I picked up a new white 103tdi Pacific (comfort pack, park assist 2, fog...

Hi davc88,
Your machine looks great, finishes of the car nicely. Are you able to post where you got the parts from?
There seems to be dozens available, and appears you've had a reasonable...

Hi guys,
I've got a white 103tdi. I specifically wanted a diesel so the 155 was never an option for me, and it sounds like I had the same conversation at the dealer as every one else did.
So far...

MY13.5 103TDi Pacific, white.
Good little shopping trolley! Got some work to do do on it though
