Thanks Lucas,
..didn't I buy a couple of VW Suspension specific tools (strut top tool and another one) from you.. dim memory that I'll dig out - I still haven't done the job I intended!
Anyway,...

Hi All,

Anyone have any info about costs (or estimate) on replacing all the fluids in the drive train on a 2012 4Motion with Tiptronic Auto from their recent services.. (other service items are up...

I did some yoga up under the dashboard and solderered the orange green to the other O/G and same with the orange / brown.. requires a bit of patience and then put on some shrink wrap.

I didn't...

Just did a 1400 km from Sydney to Hobart via Canberra and the coast in four days in my 132kw TSI and had a range up to 111 degrees oil temp on a 32 degree day at 100-110km/h down to 100 degrees on a...

Hi
I have the 2012 TSI 2.0 132KW Tig with the Tiptronic 6 speed automatic tranny and have a question about it when its running along with the revs low in the range (about 1500rpm) in any gear and a...

This about Gateway on Ross-Tech: VW Golf (1K) CAN-Gateway - Ross-Tech Wiki

Thanks but the way I read it there's no Byte 6 in the long code 35 60 03 - I read three bytes there


35Hex = 0100011
60Hex = 0111100
03Hex = 0000011
I can see in the check boxes on Byte 03...

I cleared the trouble codes and had a drive and rescanned for faults.

The only remaining one was the trailer module not coded.

I am pretty sure my soldering is good. I suspect that it might be...

Hi, Thanks for that.

I have spliced CAN-bus wires under the dash and the trailer module is present in the module list but shows a fault in the gateway interface (naturally enough) also faults in...

Hi
Does anyone know if its possible to use an OBD11 (Bluetooth OBD connection and tablet computer) to code the can-bus to detect the VW original trailer module I've installed?

(the module is...

..maybe a photo might make them more appealing.

Thanks Umai, you've been very helpful.

I going to check if the other wiring loom in the box has got the right shaped connectors at the front end to fit the CAN connectors under the dash (they look...

Thanks for that - I can see these three pairs of can-bus wires with two of them connected together and another unused pair (with a blue plug) next to them. I guess the Y-cable just joins them all in...

Hope someone can clue me up on this a bit more.


I have a kit 5N2055204 which is supplied as a control module and two looms of wiring. (plus hardware bits, external round socket, screws, fuses...

The expansion tank has been replaced and the coolant flushed so it all looks pretty and pink!

I was told that the Tiptronic Auto doesn't require an ATF service and the unit is sealed for life.....

Good info - thanks.
I'm pretty sure my 11/2012 is already pre-wired to the rear. Will have a snoop around in the left side cavity to find that connector.

@tigger73 about DSG vs. Tiptronic
Thanks, I get that - for a performance feel the DSG is great... I had one in a TDI 103 golf Wagon and loved it and its very well suited to a diesel with the shorter...

I test-drove a Golf Alltrack a month or so after they were released (at the time I owned a 2012 2.0 TDI Golf Wagon and finance was just about due) and was looking for a sportier replacement and I...

Why the caution about the Tiptronic auto transmission in favour of the DSG.. the way I read it, others here have warned people off the 6 speed DSG and talked up the Tiptronic 6SP ("slush box") and...

TOP! Thanks. Great to know! I saw pictures of the VW electrics kit and there looked to be a longish loom of wire which made me wonder about the need to thread wires through the cabin (like H/R)....

Hi,
I want to do the same to my 11/2012 132kw TSi Tig and have a couple of questions:


1. About the term "pre-wired", does that mean you didn't have to fiddle around with routing a new (power)...

Hi,
My 2012 (delivered 02/13) 132 TSi 2.0 is up to 56,000kms and due for the 60K/5yr service which will flush and change the ATF and the coolant system plus other oils, filters & plugs etc (brakes...

My Tig is a 2012 and I replaced both front LCA bushes with Lemfoerder aftermarket units bought from Pelican Parts in the US. USD59 for the pair (that's including the alloy mount, not the type that...

Hi Guys,
updating my post about a few worn suspension parts.

I have replaced both trailing lower control arm bushes, both front sway bar end links and the rear shocks.

I have achieved a...

Thanks Jets, I have R & R'ed one side and torqued it up but not added the extra angle yet. This morning I'll back them off and re-torque then add the turn angle and do the other side. The feel I got...
