Thanks guys, that’ll give me something to do this weekend 👍

Hi all, my USB socket has stopped working, I have searched the forum but didn't seem to find anything - has anyone fixed the problem, whether changing the port/PCB itself? Thanks
-
All done, I have the 2 year old pump in my hand, it is very notch to turn and every now and then it sticks and takes quite some force to move. This was Trucktec (made in Germany) without the warm up shield. Only covered 40000km.

Yup you’re right...... I’m torn between living with an error code or knowing that in a couple of years I could be in the same boat again!

No, I mean fit a new pump that has the shield/solenoid, but not connect the solenoid into the loom. As far as I am aware, the shield is in the normally open/hot position and the solenoid closes it for cold start. Thanks

Hi, can anyone confirm that I will not get an error code caused by not plugging the new water pump in to the wiring loom? It's getting fitted tomorrow. I'm not doing it myself this time - I just don't have the space unfortunately

2014 Octavia 2.0TDI First pump failed in 2018 100,000km I fitted an aftermarket pump with no shield to fail again. Last night, wife had symptoms of pump failure on her way home from work!...…... Now on 145000km. With regard to shield being needed for the DPF Regen, Regen only takes place when engine is warm/up to temperature anyway so I'm not convinced not having a shield would matter. IMO it is purely to warm up as quickly as possible reducing emissions.
