Guys I bought a tow bar from a company online .. my question is could you fit it yourself is there much involved. Its a standard 7 pin with a bypass relay for the canbus bulb failure system

No, it´s fairly easy. However, I don´t know, how much time it would take to fit a "crappy" aftermarket system. The OEM wiring harness takes around 2 hours.

Who said it is a "crappy aftermarket system"

Because the OEM solution is not a 7 pin, and it does come with a proper box for hooking up to the cars CAN, not a by-pass relay An aftermarket solution might give you electrical problems, and does not give you trailer stabilisation, bulb warnings for trailer or work with an OEM alarm.

What oil spec? 2021 1.5 TSI

gsf600y · 15 hours ago15 hr

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. (EDIT: See update below, I thi

Apologies of this is the wrong place to ask... please feel free to send me in the direction of anywhere more appropriate.. My '72 plate Mk IV is just coming up to 80k miles. I can't find a service schedule for the car, but hear rumours of a 40k DSG oil change... Can anyone point me in the direction of service schedules, please? And, as a follow up, my local dealer doesn't seem to have a briliant reputation, and to be honest I'm half inclined to look for an independent anyway; where's the be

Four wheel drive/AWD

Colin1051 · 32 minutes ago32 min

I confess that all 5 of my previous Kodiaqs were AWD but I only realised recently that AWD is actually a bit of a misnomer. Drive to the rear axle is only engaged when the road surface requires it - mud, very wet road surface etc. The Haldex unit controls this engagement. In normal road conditions the car is driven by the front wheels only thus saving fuel. I accept that I may be in the minority here so I'd love to hear from others who were similarly misguided.

How do I save the settings?

keelbolt · Thursday at 20:411 day

Kodiaq 2026 PHEV I set the lane control to 'Off', set the alert control to 'off', and various other settings that I want. But when I next switch the car on, all my settings are lost and I have to re-set them. This is a complete pain in the ass. How do I save the settings so that they stay set?
