Passenger-side tension spring broken! Looks like springs (on each side) lift the boot lid; moved both springs back a notch - boot opens nice and smoothly now - doesn't fly open like before! The...
Managed to get a new VW Genuine spring on eBay from the UK - got here in 2 weeks and a fair bit cheaper than VW dealer here (5 weeks delivery from VW dealership) even with freight from UK included. ...
Bought a new (Topran brand from Run Auto Parts) fuel flap actuator - previous one was sticking. Anyway, when I took it all apart I realised the issue was a dodgy compression spring! The actuator...
Boot finished. The passenger side spring had broken - installed a new spring - got a new genuine VW one from EBay (UK). The passenger side strut, the only strut (acts as a damper so the boot...
Ordered the spring from Jollys Auto Parts Wreckers (only new ones I could see were from VW dealership and UK - too expensive and/or too long for delivery); ordered the fuel flap actuator (Topran) and...
Removed old unit and replacing with a Topran unit from Run Auto Parts.
Thanks.
Waiting to hear from Grant Walker Parts. Does anyone know a large VW wrecker in Melbourne (prepared to travel)?
Might try dealer and check Ali Express?
Okay removed boot trim.
Spring on LHS hinge (passenger side) broke off (spring hook-end that goes around the spigot on the hinge sheared off); spring on RHS (driver's side) is okay. Spring part...
Manual.
FFS! That's insane! Family must have drawn inspiration from this YouTube video!!!
Manual boot lid - key fob open (or the control on driver's door) and it goes up quickly; manually close it - so not a powered boot lid. No issue with the lock, just have to lift and HOLD the boot...
Partner closed the boot hard yesterday and there was a sound like something breaking. The boot has to be held open now - spring/s and or gas strut/s must be broken or detached. I'm assuming I'll...
Recently put a new battery in - couldn't believe the battery had been turning the engine over! Coincidentally, EPB warning light gone!
Interesting, others have said that you can manoeuvre it out (there is a YouTube video). Don't know how long it takes via the rear windscreen? Two of the motor trimmers said they remove the rear...
Yeah, understand with warranty. Suspect original cluches went because of low DSG fluid level!
You're a little bit far away Gavin at the moment, but I'll definitely keep you in mind for any future work I can't handle!!! I got another quote for the DMF and have already accepted it:
12 hrs...
Labour quoted is around 12 hrs - not sure how much a new clutch-pack would cost, worth doing again? Maybe I'll ask the mechanic to let me know what state they are in?
Yes, clutches done 5 or so years ago and timing belt (sure it's a belt) done 2 years ago by an independent VW mechanic. I'm assuming doing the clutches again shouldn't be necessary (?) - has done...
Thanks a lot for that - I may as well still get the part number if possible! VIN is: WVWZZZ3CZ9E532783.
Okay, had time to check a few things (the basics) a little while ago - took the multimeter out, checked the battery - the little window was black!!! Voltage = 7.2V! New battery - all perfect, as is...
There's an ignition control module I believe that sits behind the bezel where the fob is inserted. I saw a video on YouTube that shows how to remove the module after removing a fair bit of dash trim...
The thing here is there is absolutely no resistance to the fob when this happens - the fob just slides in/out of the slot freely. I'm assuming there is some sort of mechanical switch that is...
Hit with several issues all around the same time - just have to work through them.
Couple of days ago key fob working sporadically! Tried the spare key fob - same thing! Replaced both key fob...
