Gearbox problems?

Hi all,

I am currently looking in to a Mk1 vRS and whilst having a manly talk about it the other day my friend mentioned that you best find somewhere with a continuous supply of gearboxes because they blow easily. Now is this true or is he talking out his backside?

Traffic Sign Recognition error message

The traffic sign recognition error warning light came on when ignition turned on. Car went into dealers for diagnosis. They had to contact Skoda Technical Services for advice. No fix , suggested new camera may be required and the new camera to be calibrated. Horrendous estimate , circa !500 GBP plus the calibration cost by ADAS specialist.

Strange sound when turning right

mbi4628 · 28 May28 May

Hello everyone, first time posting here. I wanted to ask about a strange noise coming from my car when turning right. I only really noticed it getting worse after a 600-mile road trip. At first, I suspected it could be the power steering pump, but I’m also wondering if it could be related to the power steering fluid. The car is relatively low mileage (under 50k), but I doubt the power steering fluid has ever been changed or topped up. Would anyone be able to listen to the sound and give some a

Syphon fuel or not?

Hi, I have a 2004 1.9 AWX TDI Last October I parked it up as since getting it (1 owner service history) it has had timing kit and new turbo and then the dmf and gearbox needed fixing I was unsure if I was going to keep it but I think I might now as only 105k. Question is should I syphon the fuel (1/4 tank) been sat since October or should I add biocide and top up? Whats the risk and how realistic is it of causing damage if I just run it on the diesel thats in there and do nothing to it? @r

Not sure if I might contemplate selling this at a later date ( what is it worth I'm thinking when closer to mint at least £8K right>), but for now at least offers me one means to travel around when I get around to doing my vRS clutch which I'm loathed to use for now as it feels like its more urgent for replacement Under dads ownership he claimed this car is perfect but its not mint mint unfortunately his rose tints must have been on (buts its a decent spec with very low miles for year I men

What oil spec? 2021 1.5 TSI

Struggling to find anywhere exactly what oil type my engine should be using. The owner manual says "ask a specialist garage for the correct engine oil", which is bizarre - can't the manufacturer of the vehicle just tell me! On a previous with a dealer, they put in "Edge Prof LL IV 0W-20". I've just had a service via the RAC today, and they gave me the remaining oil in the tub, and I've just noticed it's "0W-30" and also says "VW 504.00/507.00" specification.
