    Oil Leak from upper rear of engine - AVF TDi

    Here's the part I used from ECP, I don't think there are different variants but it's better to do it by your vehicle reg. http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/368440780/p/home

    Oil Leak from upper rear of engine - AVF TDi

    Good morning, a lot of people say to replace with genuine but instead I got a gasket and black sealant from EuroCarParts and thinly coated it on both sides, then before fitting it I also added a bit more sealant on the cam humps at either end. Hope this is of some help,

    No climate control or dash illumination?!

    Evening thanks for the feedback, on Friday I drove home from work with the front screen de mister on and temperature set to high. The next time I started the car it all worked again! I have a suspicion one of the air vent flaps either got stuck or has a dirty potentiometer, bit hard to test and...

    Evening dude I've fixed an oil / diesel leak from the top rear of my engine recently, I replaced the valve / rocker cover seal and also replaced the thin metal seal on the tandem pump.

    No climate control or dash illumination?!

    Good evening, I've checked all of the fuses including the larger ones near the relays behind the dash and sadly they are all ok. Noticed the cruise control stalk doesn't work either at the moment either, it's probably all linked but I can't understand why! Any pointers?

The only way to get any air out of it was to press the front windscreen demister button and then it felt like the air was still coming out of the dash vents. Also the...

    Cruise control speed Q

    Thank you for all of the replies, my car is a manual and I thought it braked downhill once upon a time, but now it does not. I scanned the car for faults and none came up but I don't know if the abs is scanned thoroughly for issues.

    Cruise control speed Q

    Good morning, just thought of a question to run by you lot, should cruise control when on keep the car at the same speed when travelling downhill? I think mine did previously but it has not the last few times and so I was wondering if all is ok.

    Leaky tandem pump

    Hi there, so 8k after replacing my cylinder head it appears that re-using the gasket for the tandem pump is now failing. I initially thought it was the rocker cover gasket causing a leak of oil but after replacing that and still getting drips on the drive it must be this. I could smell the...

    Parking Sensors

    Good evening, yes it was a kit where there was several colours to choose from including two shades of silver, they are just the type that beep, I fitted the speaker under the plastic near the rear passenger headrest and can hear it fine.

    Parking Sensors

    I just used a pre-painted parking sensors kit from eBay, was under £15 delivered, due to the age, mileage of my car I didn't feel the need to buy anything else.
