Canbus Wiring

Followers

21 August, 200322 yr

There have been a few threads recently asking about adding extra wiring to existing looms.

This http://www.briskoda.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3578 one is actually about a vacuum pipe, so I guess it doesn't count, but you get the idea.

Anyway, I thought the whole idea of CANBUS was that you didn't have to do all this extra wiring. You just connect a CANBUS-aware device to power, earth, and the CANBUS anywhere in the car, and it just works!

Or have I got it completely wrong?

Yes, but unfortunately the nice folks at VW didnt want to use CANBUS and installed their own 'standard'.

Does having a vRS with 4X4 bring a noticeable improvement to the car?

Sinbad1900 · 1 May1 May

This is a follow up to a previous question I posed recently. I had a 2008 vRS for over 12 years and really loved it before moving on to something different. Looking to getting back into vRS ownership again and toying with the idea of finding one with the 4x4 drive train. If anyone has been able to compare the two, is there a noticeable improvement in road handling with this variant? Thanks

Creaking front-end

History is that since the coilovers were done, the front-left top mount has aways creaked on turning; classic top mount sound of juddering movement. I've tried rotating the spring a little in case that's a difference but I need to do try some more just to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. In the meantime, the front right has developed a creak which is different. It's a heavier creaky rubber feel to it which is triggered on minor movement/weight shift. Going over speedbumps obviously makes

Hi all, Recently picked up a 2017 1.0 TSI. Every time I start the car there’s a noticeable ticking/rattling noise that lasts around 45 seconds then stops completely. Happens on every start, not just cold. Car runs perfectly once warm with no issues at all. Has anyone experienced this on the 1.0 TSI EA211 engine? I’ve read it could be the Turbo actuator rod linkage? Car was serviced by Skoda main dealer a month ago. Any experience or advice appreciated. Video link of said noise: https://y
