you use a 17mm spanner on the top tensioner and push/pull cant remember which it will only move one way and it and it will allow you to remove the belt

id assume the compressor is gone then , new compressor and condenser and a regas will get your ac up and running, i paid 55 for the compressor brand new from china, 45 for the condenser and 45 for the regas

if your ac doesn't work you probably need a new condenser , compressor and a regass , it sounds harder than it is to be fair i had it done in a couple of hours there are a few guides around for it from what i remember, best to do it all at once if you can as its easier to access the compressor with the rad pack pulled forward, although ive done it with it in place aswell.

you need to remove the bumper, then the crash bar and the headlight mountings, then you can get to it

no the intercooler is behind it its a pack of 3 items, the radiator on the inside , then the intercooler then the ac condenser closest to the bumper

if its the front unit yuu mean thats actually the ac condenser, bumper off to change, easy job

yes checked and all were outputting 12v when the correct lights were on so when the lights were on only the black and brown were outputting the 12v and nothing on the red(brake lights) but the brake lights were on on the van, think the last owner must have got muddled up when replacing the bulbs

my mates bxe octavia has 255k on it and my lasses bxe golf has 200k i wouldnt worry just look after it

i got a brand new china special compressor from ebay for 55 inc postage and its been fine for over a year, you probs want to do the condenser/dryer while your at it as they leak, i got all mine for 110 for parts and 45 for a regas after id installed the bits

got it sored my wiring was fine, somebody had attached the wrong terminals to the bulbs in the back of the caravan

No idea if it was working as the relay was removed back in 2017 it was buzzing all the time due to water ingress so I removed it. I had never needed it as I've not had anything to tow until now. Installed a new relay today and everything's working but the when you turn the lights on all the sidelights come on. But the brake light come on instead of the rear lights and when you press the brake they flash. I'm ssuming this isn't correct. Not Fan of electrics lol

I've found the correct one on the caravan side and wired in the rely everything is working on the caravan. Indicators. Side lights but when the lights are on the brake lights come on and when you hit the brake pedal they flash. Is that something to do with the 12n socket? Thanks Luke

Just brought a caravan and refitted the towing relay. Last one got water damaged. Gone to plug it in and the sockets don't match. Anybody know what adapter I need for this? Cheers Chris

i scanned mine with vcds and no engine codes but i did have a code for trouble communicating with the aircon module, but ive been away for 2 days driving allover the north and it hasnt done it so i cant really trace it at the moment, aircon is also working fine.

no only does it when the engine is running and with the climate completely off, just done 200 miles today and it didnt do it at all, its defo not the n80 or any standard rattle ive had tfsi engines since 2014 so im familiar with all the standard rattles. i did change the fuel filter a few days ago as it started ****ing fuel all over the drive so i was thinking maybe a rattling fuel line from the disturbance, hard to pinpoint it when its stopped, hopefully it dont come back lol

car has started making this strange noise, only does it at idle, stops when you blip the throttle can be heard loudly in the cabin but cant hear it in the engine bay, also gets almost silent when climate is turned on , videos linked any help would be appreciated, hope its not new engine o clock! car is 07 tfsi bwa 130k

i found a walkthrough for fitting the rain/light sensor here. https://www.myturbodiesel.com/d2/1000q/multi/rain-sensor-auto-wiper-retrofit-vw.htm anyone on the forum done it for some tips?

i read you can install a rain sensor down the side of the screen without replacing it, but to be fair i wouldn't mind swapping out the screen its 14 years old and covered in pits now anyway. a good few seem to have done the retrofit on the mk5 gti

does it still knock with the clutch pushed in? doesnt sound like a gearbox issue to me

the problem here was a garage had ****ed the rubber top hat o ring that went into the master cylinder, had to take the whole system apart to find a chunk missing out of the seal, new one installed and was all good, had a horrible clutch for 3 years thanks to them , that was the last time i let anyone else work on my car and it was in 2017 when i had a new clutch and master cylinder put in in the dead of winter. lesson to everyone buy a load of tools and dont look back

so i just convinced my partner to enter the world of vw and got her a mk5 golf 1.9tdi, after driving it for a bit im loving the auto dimming rear view and the auto lights is there a guide on here for a retrofit? or anybody know how to go about it? i gather i need auto dimming rear view with sensors new switch with the auto lights position presume new stalk if i want auto wipers wire to run possibly different bcm i have vcds so activating isnt an issue car is a mk2 vrs any guidance appreciated

Anyone know the part number or part name etc of this part of the intake from an 07 vrs tfsi? Much appreciated
