Hi all,
There has been a series of issues that have cropped up on my 2011 Q7 3.0TDI. At fist the coolant pump started leaking from just underneath the pulley, which I promptly replaced, but now it...
Sad for both of us.
All of these items were bought by mistake. The filters should be suitable for early model 3.0L TDI V6 motors with the CATA engine code and the AT stuff is for the 6 speed AT, but it is best to check...
There are also tty bolts and a couple of special tools that are required as well. The tty bolts are more expensive than the tools though.
My car has developed a diesel type rattle on start up / rough idle for 20/30 sec over the last month or so.
I've decided to bite the bullet and order the parts to replace the cam chain and...
After a month of testing I feel that these pads have broken in. I'm quite happy with the combination and I feel that there is more modulation before ABS. Initial bit is good and a bit more finess is...
I had this issue. The first few times I had it I used a combination of electronics part cleaner to clean the actuator and silicone spray. There was also a technique to getting it to actuate, which...
I didn't want to say anything until they were bedded-in (200-300km) as they will still have the "brake-in coating" on them. This is the same reason I haven't cleaned my wheels. That coating makes a...
Got all the parts during the week and made an attempt to fit them on Thursday night. Fitted the rear pads, but not the rotors, due to not having a 14mm triple square / XZN bit.
Fitted the front...
All good, I've got a ross-tech micro-can floating around somewhere. Thanks for the heads-up.
I ended up getting the DBA42806S and DBA42807S rotors (Brakes Direct) with the Redstuff Pads: DP31998C, DP31518C (Amazon).
The pads that were in the US EBC application guide seemed incorrect. It...
I did want to use the redstuff pads as I have used them previously on a 4pot/2pot setup on a modded Forester GT. The dust was very minimal after the initial break in period.
Unfortunately, they...
My rear pads are starting to sound a bit worn and after miking them and the front rotors i'm pretty sure they would never make it to the end of a new set of pads.
After being quoted $1100 for OEM...
If you are talking about the oil leak on the magnet, I haven't sorted that on out yet.
The problem is with the way that the magnet unit is put together, and it relies on the press fit of the...
Went through this late last year.
The aftermarket ones from China are of a lesser quality glass. This might make a difference if you do a lot of regional driving. The other thing is that they...
Ordered the parts today.
water pump, oil cooler o rings, seal for the camshaft magnet, intake seal, hall sensor seal (got a few as they are prone to leaking apparently), injector seals (may need...
Why does the electrical connector need to be replaced?
That is the oil sump directly under the water pump. So is that a full unit replace or a seal / gasket replace?
Are there other...
Unfortunately I am 10 months out of warranty. Its all DIY for me!
So after looking around further, it looks like a coolant leak (black sludge is water soluble). So is that a water pump replacement or are there seals? The car has done 80,000kms.
Also Ticking...
So I have a couple of leaks around the engine (2011 147 TSI), the most disconcerting is the one originates from somewhere under the intake manifold. the other from what appears to be the cam advance...
Thanks for the heads up on not mixing plugs. Luckily you can confirm by smell. The diff smells bad, the haldex, not so bad.
For future reference, the rear diff took around 900ml of fluid and the...
Just wanted to make sure the the front diff fluid holes are the 2 hex key bolts in the image. Is that correct?

Hi,
Just after some information regarding the front and rear diff in the 2011 tiguan w/ DSG:
What oil should I use (looking at Castrol Syntrax 75w-90) and quantity?
Where is the drain and fill...
I installed the towbar and VW harness on the weekend and could't get the tb module to work. Just kept getting a could't contact module error. Unfortunately I stupidly put back all of the interior so...
