When I bought my car, it failed the MOT as front door wouldn't open from the outside. Something was replaced and all good. Did read up it's a bit of a known fault. Sounds like they know and will fix it

Hmmm, seems to think after a wash and a wipe down with some detailing spray, mine are always ok. Will have to have a look later when I go out. I never notice them dull or tarnished. Maybe they need a harsher polish.

Yes, because it will have a silicate bag in the expansion tank. G12evo was developed to run without the need of a bag.

I didn't warm it up first, too scared to take the coolant cap off lol. Did it spurt at all, or was it ok as it releases pressure when you first untwist it? Also had heating to max temp.

I've not read that in the manual. Just don't let air in, otherwise you'll need to use vcds to bleed the abs unit. Otherwise just bleed in the sequence stated. I think it's FR, FL, RR, RL

G12 evo is what you need if you don't have a silicat bag. What I did was take the return line off the expansion tank, run engine, heater one etc...in the hope it opens up the whole circuit. Run the return line into a bucket. As the expansion tank went down, top up with new G12evo. I ran 10ltrs through. 1year on, I did 5ltrs on my next service, same process. I assume I have quite a bit of the G12evo in there now. To do it properly, you are supposed drain the system, vacuum it and let it suck in the new coolant. I think you might need vcds as well to open up all the flaps. I have also watched a water pump replacement video and they had a large hopper on top of the expansion vessel, screwed in, filled up and let the engine run and as air came up, fluid went straight in. Seemed easier and cheaper then the vacuum method, but maybe some fluid stays in on a water pump change, I don't know?

Is the new battery actually charged? Have you checked it with a multi meter? No reason fitting a new one would stop it from cranking. The other errors should clear with a drive, as mentioned above.

Yup, but they are only a couple of mm. I'm not going to remove them, so won't have holes left on show. Next owner, well that's up to them. I'd leave them if it was me. But I get your point. I did consider sticking them, but there wasn't really any backing to the holder.

I screwed them to the B pillar, low down. Checked behind, didn't see anything the screws could damage.

I just remember the bad places and avoid hard acceleration now

Just feels super violent, like bits will snap off lol

Ok, thought it was one system. Good info, thanks for that.

Why does it do the bang after a bump, even with traction control off?

£500+ yikes!

Last I knew it was around £250, what are they charging now?

Eeeek, that's pricey. Guess inflation doesn't help.

£349 just for the DSG, or was that including engine oil service as well?

Erwin? but not sure if you can get two diff car data from one login.

902 here

The spare key turns the immobiliser message off, but won't crank the cr as the 12v battery is low?

12v jumper pack through the cigarette port?

Hi all, VCDS is throwing this up in an autoscan. No warning lights or anything, doesn't register as an actual fault. Any ideas?

Have OBDEleven, does some basic things, but to do adaptions it's subscription based. I'm going to keep it for quick code reading if out and about as connects to mobile. But going to get vcds for at home, as the yearly subscription for obdeleven would soon exceed it.

Ideally you need a puller, I'd be nervous using any shock tactics near the glass.

Autodoc said they'd take it back, so all boxed up and ready to send. Mines lasted quite a while, I gave it another clean out, as I had it off, better than before too! Had more fluid in there, I think some was washer fluid, so I sealed the shaft in from the inside as well, with some silicone. I also have some nice silicone super lube now, so spammed it up with that all inside.
