Did you confirm your Air Con fault? The 00819 High Pressure Sensor could be faulty or it could be out of refrigerant

I recently purchased a 64plate and had poor FM reception, I ran VCDS and it said that the antenna was open circuit. They suffer from corrosion so opened it up to see if I could save it but was too far gone, £5 for a 2nd hand one from the breakers (from a Polo) and all fixed. The 2nd Fakra connector will go to the small amplifier module which could be your issue - you need to scan it first!

I actually got to the bottom of this and it may be a little wisdom to others. So the part (oil cooler/filter housing) that was on the car was not the original OE, it was a Nissens 91158 which if you read all of the compatibility charts it is good to use on the 1.2 CFWA engine - TBH the mounting to the block would be the most important thing. The Nissens unit whilst fits was the issue, it doesn't allow the next man to change the oil and the filter used (and the cap) are longer than that which VW specifiy - so the warning is dont use the Nissens unit (https://www.autodoc.co.uk/nissens/12833652) I have now replaced the entire unit with a Blue Point from Parts in Motion (eBay) for £65 and luckily I did as the previous Nissens part was heavily siliconed blocking the water and oil. Ive added some photos of the obvious mounting difference between the 2 parts - Nissens on the left 😄 on

ive just bought a 1.2TDI which has likely been neglected for the last 8 years so threw in a bottle of STP flush and did get some gunk out during my full service

And sadly it was! The coil was toast and a couple of tracks were corroded through

So firstly I'm a seasoned mechanic and have had Skoda and VW diesels for many years. So a new member to the family of cars was purchased, a 2014 1.2 TDI Fabia (mark 2). 2 owners from new but with no service history from the 2nd owner since 2019 I decided to do the full shebang! However, the oil filter screw cover was more than reluctant to come out. Now what I mean is that I could unscrew it but the shaft inside which has the 2 small o-rings at the end could not come out past the housing. A long story short I got it out a little bent and the replacement genuine VW oil filter element was fitted and seemed to be a good 30mm short of them the one that came out. I called TPS gave them my registration and the part number and they confirmed everything was good. Unfortunately there is absolutely no way I could get the shaft back in the hole with the filter fitted and something just didn't feel right. In my two hours of attempting finally it snapped. I then went on to find that the shaft with the two small o-rings flaps around the hole at the bottom of the oil housing and clearly the whole length of that component is wrong. Would anyone by any chance have access to photos or a physical part that I could to see if mine is actually wrong for the car. I suspect that the previous owner snapped theirs and just bought a second-hand part which was not intended for the car. Looking on eBay I can buy just the cover which appears to be specific to the 1.2. The image seems to show a shorter shaft and the end part seems to be stubbier if that makes sense?

ahh i have a mk2 in this forum

Why are you trying to locate it? he reason I ask is that Ive just bought a 2014 Greenline for my daughter and going through the VCDS scan I have a DTC 00856 which is radio antenna short to ground or open circuit. My symptoms are that radio reception is poor, even when collecting I was surprised that very few stations could be found. Does anyone have experience of this to identify if its the antenna or amplifier?
