ords

Does that mean you've never used them on intermittent?

Were they ok before the windscreen was replaced?

You won't harm the battery by going a few days without coding it

Mine is the same year as yours, but my fan certainly does not run all the time the a/c is on. Take the fuse for the fan out or unplug the fan and see if there is any difference in sound.

The antenna is in the rear side windows. You should have a sharks fin on the roof for the sat nav.

What engine and how old is the car?

You have a diesel or oil leak and a burning smell and the garage says it should be ok to drive????? Doesn't sound like good advice to me. Anything obvious like an oil patch on the floor or areas under the bonnet that are wet?

This is for a 1.4l, but might be of help to you.

I'm doing well with the a/c on my 2013, never been touched.

This is not the right forum for a 2005 model.

Is the engine really hotter than normal when opening the bonnet or just the gauge telling you it's overheating?

Agree, mines given no problem at all. Only had the recall work done years ago.

There's no service schedule for the DQ200 DSG

Make sure the option to lock the doors is still enabled

Manual or auto?

Yours is probably an Amundsen MIB1. As @Lee01 says no official updates are now available You could try this workaround. It worked for me. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/511425-amundsen-mib1-maps-update/#findComment-5837058

What engine & mileage?

If it's an MIB1, official map updates were discontinued a few years ago. You may find this thread useful.

So people can help you in the future, update your profile with engine and gearbox type

A four year warranty starting in Sept 2022 will run out in Sept this year.

Mines only done 70K, so not had a hard life by any means. Had cam belt and pump done at 8 years old, doesn't use any oil between services, no oil leaks, DSG faultless. All major engine components original. 60 mpg average.

You've posted in the correct forum for MK3's

This IS the Mk3 Forum, not the MK4 forum.

Unless there is a faulty injection system, in normal operation, can you flood an engine these days?
