Great write up! I hope I never have to do this.
I did my Haldex service today and my filter was full of sludge too. I wouldn’t have thought mine would have to work very hard.
Thanks for the quick reply! I’ve tried Repco and Burson and they have virtually nothing in the D1s range. How quick were power bulbs?
So yesterday the afs fault warning came on so I checked the lights. The left xenon bulb flashes a bit then goes out and the right is a bit more yellow than I remember.
How do I tell if it’s just a...
Will it start with aerostart to prove the ignition side is fine?
Are the injectors leaking when it’s turned off?
The b6 has the variable compressor too. No clutch.
It’s interesting that Penrite list hpr5 5/40 as an option for the 3.2L vr6 but only lists 5/30 for the 3.6?
Our 3.2 uses about 1Lt between services. I’ve always used hpr5 as I think the 5/30 is...
It’d be worth getting it checked properly by a VW specialist first. They did have some issues with oil consumption/pistons and the dsg. There is a thread in the mk6 golf section with 1300 replies...
Is the picoscope just an oscilloscope? That would be handy for some things but it won’t give you all the fault codes etc that vcds will give. You’ll be able to read live data from the sensors with...
Have you had the codes checked again to see which faults have returned?
So if you turn it clockwise to tdc number 1 does the cam locking tool go straight in?
You’re mention cam chain and cam belt. Which one is it?
Also is the pcv ok? It’ll cause idle issues. Does the...
Which engine is it? How did you set the cam timing up?
I got the genuine replacement bolts today (part number n91145401). The original bolts were 8.8 and the replacements were 10.9 so they’ve obviously had issues with them breaking. If you’ve got an...
It’s not great that places like ecs show it the wrong way. I need to do mine soon so this’ll be helpful.
Did you just get the bits from vw? I’ve asked a couple of aftermarket places in melbourne...
I removed the motor plug and powered it up to get it back into position. This should solve my issues.
If anyone else is doing this you need genuine or high tensile bolts.
Hi everyone, has anyone got experience with these tailgate motors? The bolt in the hinge has broken that holds the actuator arm to the boot hinge. I’ve removed the hinge and drilled out the broken...
Look up clickable automotive (a site sponsor). The sell German Zimmerman pads and rotors at a very good price. I’ve fitted them front and rear.
I’ve fitted two forward facing and one rear facing a few years ago. The rear facing one was a strider capsule and one of the forward facing ones was a safe n sound compaq. I can’t remember what the...
Thanks. I’ll do that.
There is some great info in this thread. I’ve had the same 01134 code for the last six months and the alarm siren has started going off randomly. It went off three times last night so it’s getting...
I fitted a second hand best bars (genuine vw) to a b6 and it can’t be seen when it’s removed.
Were all the suspension bushes tightened when the car was at ride height? Otherwise the bushes might be getting overstretched. This is often a problem when cars are lowered.
It could well be a typo. If he’s been a detailer he’ll be able to pick it if it’s had a big repair. Cars this old need to be judged on condition more than anything.
The service book seems to show more km in 2016 than 2021?
