For reasons unknown to me  my traffic  info  function and the traffic info on my sat nav no longer shows  any information. Have i  inadvertently pressed the wrong button  somewhere. Any thoughts would be most  welcome.

 

my version  is the 2 litre L&K model   with the Columbus sat nav.

 

 

This is the fix. You’ll need VCDS / OBD11, or contact one of the members here who have it, to help you out. 

Is there anyone near newcastle upon tyne that can do the fix for a reasonable fee

Have a look through this thread...
