[No sat Nav guidence voice]

Possible problem is it has been turned down on the volume  control dial. The radio is controlled when played and the Nav voice is muted, if you use the sat nav, the volume is controlled when the voice is being spoken, can be tricky to catch the time to increase the volume for the voice.

[Remap thoughts please?]

Hi, the reason for driving a DSG (as OP has) is the the DSG will make all these decisions for you, no?

[Temperature Guage]

Hi, its a common problem.......search for DSG thermostat problems.....not high cost and can be done by a DIY mechanic.

[Superb 2.0 TDI (12) EGR removal to clean]

I had to have my DPF cleaned due to having a blown turbo send gunk into the DPF. The garage that replaced the turbo removed the DPF and it was given a chemical clean. This was 2 years ago and the DPF has not caused any issues thus far.

[A light out on my speedo!]

Hi, the top half of my speedo light has been flickering for a week, but now has failed.

Has anyone accessed the bulbs in the instrument cluster, how much strip down does it require?

Easy, hard or garage job? Is it an MOT failure? Due end of Nov.

 

Thx

Forgot to mention, look up 'rucking'.  In short, walking with weight. It's almost as good as running for cardio/cal burn, without the impact, but obviously not as quick.

 

Start of with up to 10% of your body weight in a backpack. Do the same route with the weight on, a couple of times, then without. SWMBO and our little 5km walk around the block, I'm up to 20% and I do know I've done the walk

 

Not forgetting some cooldown stretches for your calves, quads, hams, shoulders, triceps etc.

You're joking.........................10% of my weight won't fit in a backpack LOL🤣

[Flashing coil light fault]

Hi all, just for info I had a flashing coil light with limp mode a couple of days ago, code read P0238. Garage changed the Boost Pressure Sensor and test drove it.

 

Collected the car and within 1/2 mile dash light lit up, took the car back and after further investigation found a broken wire in the associated loom down in the depths. Soldered the wire and fixed the problem.

[Wet wet wet (water ingress)]

I had the same problem in my Mk1, in that case it was the bulkhead drain hole that was blocked and water collected until it leaked through the bulkhead cable holes.

 

This happened in my case due to the car being reversed parked on my sloped drive. With heavy rain, all water from the bonnet and windscreen was flowing into the bulkhead scuttle. With my Mk11 I have made sure that the car is parked on the level so that heavy rain will be disbursed more evenly over the surfaces.

 

Not had the same problem in over 4 years.

The Ass 5's have rim protection......whether good or not.....hmmm with me I have marked alloys, but I'm not that careful 😒

Hi, Change your date in title to 2020 😉

[Heating of the motor - 2.0TDI - DSG]

I found that was the 1st sign of something not right, then small fluctuations with lower temps over time. Then finally not getting to 90C on most drives, that was when I had DSG thermostat changed and got back to a quick 90C permanently.☺️

I had to tell my independent garage what to change as they seemed to want to change the main thermostat.

[Masonry paint on car]

Most masonry paint is water based, so a good soaking giving the clay bar plenty of water should shift it. If not, the above will do it given time and effort.
