sparky2

what are you using to scan the car ?

But how much is a new unit ?

I read somewhere that if 'light misting' is noted and not sorted by the next MOT it becomes a fail ! can anybody confirm this ?

Why have you used with them ?

Hi Alex, Carn't remember and ive changed the car now, I normally make notes when taking things apart so I will have a look to see if there still around.

Hi Matthew, No just standard dials

Ive just changed my resistor pack on our 2014 rapid spaceback and its right at the top of the cabin filter, if you want to check yours is the same remove the filter and use a mirror and torch to see if its right at the very top, if you can see it you have to remove the glovebox to get to the top of it and you might just be able to see the wires on the outside , to remove it you have to turn it 90deg then it lifts up, it is hard to see and remove but you can do it. cheers Stuart

HI All, ive gone for 4X Bridgestone Turanza TUR6 XL 215/40/R17 W (87) and its a better ride as in its not as hard when going over bumps.

Thanks for all the replys im looking now to replace all 4 on the original rims as there alloy, just need to find some good prices.

What did they change the first time it failed ?

215/40R17 87V

Hi All, looks like I will be buying 3 tyres soon, tyres fitted at the moment are Dunlop SP Sport Maxx and there awfull with a hard ride and feeling every bump in the road, I'm after good mileage with a good ride as were in our 60s and not boy racers so any recommendations?

Thanks Pete, do you know the driveshaft nut torque setting ?

Fabia mk2 2008 engine code BNV 1.4 TDI Hi All, we need to find a part number and a couple of the websites we go on don't list the full number, can anybody help ? Cheers Stuart

Hi Carlston, Sorry im new to the Tiguan so dont know the history so thanks for the update, so it looks like its a facelift version, cheers Stuart

Hi Carlson, I think the car is the last one before the Tiguan mk2 which I thought mine was the Karoq and Seat altaza ?, unless im wrong but I stand to be corrected. cheers Stuart

Hi all, I've bought a 2020 VW Tiguan 2ltr TDi 4x4 so can anybody reccomend a good forum, I believe its based on the same platform as the Karoq so I might put a few posts on there,still have the Rapid though.

Hi all, well it's looking like I'm going to have to change the clutch + slave cylinder as the pedal is sticking halfway again, I have changed the master cylinder (twice) checked for leaks on the brakes as well as the clutch and there's a small dribble of clear fluid at the bottom of the gearbox, as I'm not certain of the make of clutch fitted in going to have to remove it first then pick one up.

Hi Mr James, we tried a reset with my brothers car scanner but it didn't last long so we had to buy another throttle body and thats now working OK.

PM sent

Hi All, My front nearside outer CV boot has split so I'm changing it, looking on elsawin there are 5 different driveshafts that can be fitted and looking at eurocarparts and GSF there are 4 different boots, so I'm having to remove the old one (in between rain showers) and take it with me and also measure the sizes each end of the shaft etc. Is there a way of finding out without removing the original ? Cheers Stuart

Possible loose connection, check main fuse box under bonnet and side connections.

It you have VCDS you can put the car into sleep mode without disconnecting the battery just like the factory do when the car is put in long term storage !

My Scout does this and I am suspecting a bad seal on the roof rails, I've removed the internal trim around the lock catch and I keep emptying a couple of holes for years that fill with rain water !

Hi varoom , thanks for that, I think mine's a 1Z , I'm trying to narrow it down just in case I have to change the clutch slave cylinder/complete clutch, going off your drawing of the slave cylinder is there a drain going to the edge of the gearbox to stop brake fluid contaminating the clutch plate if it was leaking ? Mine's a Scout 4x4 so has an output off the main gearbox for the haldex gearbox so I presume it would be trickier to remove.
