Hi,
Unfortunately today I noticed a small crack starting to develop in the plastic surrounding the sunroof on my 2016 GTI 40 Years - disappointing at only 13,000kms. As far as I can tell this is a...
Hi all,
Have sold my Jetta and have a few parts lying around that I've tried to sell but had no luck, let me know if you're interested in any of them by sending me a private message before they...
I'm not quite sure how to describe it, it is kind of like a hollow rasping noise. See attached video. VW 2.0 FSI Grinding Sound - YouTube
Yesterday I tried switching the AC on/off multiple times...
Yep was thinking it could be that chain. Guess a manual inspection is the only way to go?
Hi all,
I've been noticing what can only be described as a rasping sound from my 2.0 FSI N/A manual Jetta. It seems more common when the engine is hot, and it varies with engine RPM. Strangely...
Sorry I don't have the part numbers for those, however they should be reusable - provided they aren't damaged or lost.
I'd say it would be very difficult to do, even if you could get the old one out fitting the new one would be a challenge.
Thanks for the replies. It was last flushed when the timing belt and water pump were done (2 years ago)
Hi,
My 2.0 FSI is just about due for a coolant change, was comparing doing a full flush vs. just draining it from the lower radiator hose. What do people on here recommend? The coolant was changed...
Are you hearing any noise from inside the door when trying to lock/unlock and have you scanned the car for any faults?
If you are going to go to a wreckers, my bet would be to try Jolly's Ringwood. Tends to have good stock (they have a Jetta with Classix right now according to their website) and unlike Imlachs they...
Out of all the aftermarket ones they are certainly the best looking in my opinion as they are quite close to the OEM ones. Was tempted to fit a set to my car, but not a huge fan of the black housings...
Given the work and expense involved in converting to the OEM Xenon setup I'd say they are the Supernova projectors. They are plug and play on halogen equipped cars and look exactly like what you...
Also with regards to the thermostat, that also went bad on my car. Changed with an OEM one (wasn't that expensive so thought might as well). Thermostat replacement is easiest with the intake manifold...
I bought the Haynes manual to have a look at this exact same thing - there is no mention of it. I've never actually taken the HPFP off on my BVY, however according to the VW manuals you need to...
Wow that Scirocco cluster looks amazing! What sort of costs would be involved with a complete swap like that? Are there many other parts that need to be swapped as well?
Just thought I'd update this with what it cost to fix:
$470 AC Compressor (Hella)
$550 Labour + regas
Exciting stuff!! Looking forward to hearing about how it goes.
From what I understand, no it won't, there is just too much to remove and the deposits are too stubborn. The only options are chemical soak + scrub or media blasting which both require the manifold...
Excellent video, explains why if you turn it off and on again the problem goes away, because the engine must switch from stratified to homogeneous mode. I was having a look at BVY in the wreckers,...
That seems like a pretty reasonable deal, if the price for the actual radio is alright. Here is the steering wheel adapter I got for the 330, only required if you have the 8 button steering wheel....
I have the RCD330 which is very similar to the RCD340 and it is excellent. Depending on the year of your car, you may not need a CANBUS gateway or steering wheel control adapter. Since mine is 2006,...
As I was taking my door apart again today, I was wondering what years are people's cars who are having the issue? Given it seems to be a manufacturing defect with the motors, could it be possible...
No problem, happy to help out! That's very annoying about the pliers not workings, those clips really are a pain! Would you mind sharing the link to the pliers you bought so we can know which ones to...
