Graeme - you are right and this is the sensor currently fitted - my eyesight is not what it used to be.

There is a known problem with the USA manufactured sensor - there have not been any reports...

Thanks everyone for the responses - the Eos TDI is a standard VAG engine with no modifications specific to the Eos. Information from the Eos forum has detailed installation of the 51B sensor and it...

MY09 TDI DSG Eos - the dreaded warning light has come on after 23,000Km - the engine is running faultlessly and as we only do trips of 100+ Km, a clogged DPF is unlikely and there is no underbody...

I think we have all been too preoccupied with enjoying our cars.

Congratulations on the award - just goes to show you cannot keep a good car down....

You can be certain the first reason for rejection would be the use of bio-diesel contrary to VW specifications - both you and the dealer cannot prove this is true or false so it becomes a "mexican...

It is my understanding the other companies add their proprietary "11 herbs and spices" to the tankers before or after pick-up from the terminal of whatever refiner is supplying the fuel.

Perhaps...

You are correct about the ex-factory container size - Harrisons are an official DuPont distributor and started decanting from this container into 50ml bottles for Mitsubishi Australia and supplied...

Thanks for doing this - I was very disappointed when the original search website disappeared and this partially makes up for this loss.

There is a lot more information on my other haunt, the VW Eos Club Forum although it tends to be dominated by the Northern Hemisphere members. I also suspect there are a number of trolls working on...

Have a MY09 TDI DSG for 18 months & 16000K up - no problems of note so far except a small water leak around the RHS tail light assembly in the boot lid on delivery due to insufficient sealer being...

If someone has this privilege, please PM me with your email address and I will send...

The are two levels of care involved with leather upholstering:

First and most obvious is cleaning to remove dirt, stains etc

Second is to treat the leather so that it remains soft, supple and...

Some experience from the past - who else remembers the the dramatic increase in the number of vehicles with vinyl roofs on the road after the hail storms of the 1970/1980 decades?

We had a...

OK - have you owned the car from new or did you buy it second-hand? If you bought it new, how did you drive the car for the first 5000Km?

When did you notice the car was using oil and how much did...

Debbie, which engine do you have - petrol or diesel?

It is usual for the engine to use more oil than usual in the first 5000Km then decrease as the engine is fully run in . If you have the TDI...

This is not typical - this is the VW specification for MAXIMUM oil consumption before it becomes a warranty issue.

Typical oil consumption should be between 1 and 2 litres per 15000Km depending on...

Great link - thanks for sharing it with us.

I like it but I know the humour will escape the Yanks - only problem is things said in jest today may become reality tomorrow.

No - this is not always the case.

Think about the products you have owned over the years that had problems - do you remember that there was a problem or do you really remember how well [or badly]...

Is this price correct?

Other posts in this forum have mentioned prices around $5K for a replacement DPF.

Something else to consider - have you used bio-diesel in your car?

If so, drain the tank, flush it and refill it with mineral diesel before taking it to the dealer. Using bio-diesel automatically...

I have never doubted this - recalls/modifications/upgrades are a fact of life.

As a matter of interest, is the reflash for all DSG variants or just the petrol engine versions only?

The context of the discussion, the so-called "reasons" given which anyone with a mechanical background would recognise as unfounded and the insistence that failure to comply would place her warranty...

Interesting - I recently had a quite intense discussion with the Service Dept of the dealer who sold us our Eos about their insistence that the car be bought in for service when the MFD had not...
