    Wipers stopped

    Thanks Monzta, part ordered (used) the BCM fitted to mine is 8E0 907 279 E cannot find this one for sale in UK and I'm told that the 'F' revision should be a straight swap. how can the BCM be coded to the new vehicle after installation?

    Wipers stopped

    Wipers stopped working after running slow for a few minutes... I’ve greased the linkage ( seemed to move ok anyway) and tried a linkage/motor from scrappy Fuse checked (Ok) also washer and rear wiper work fine so this is ruled out Still not working Anything else that could cause this issue?

    EGR and vacuum questions - TDi 130

    Thanks Gaz - I've been paying more attention to braking during last few drives, some moments the braking assistance is low ( harder pedal, reduced braking ability) noted one part number for hose from tandem pump to bulkhead grommet: 8E0 611 931 CD (appears discontinued) is the check valve in...

    Hi all, hope you could give some input on the below. having recently bought this B6 TDi 130 AVF I was considering EGR removal. had given oil + filter and fuel filter change but torque and low end pick-up still were lower than anticipated. so, tested deactivating the EGR by removing and...

    engine reliability / performance - 1.8t / FSI

    Hi all, time has come to replace my TDi… euro 4 petrol becoming necessary and likely options are 1.8t or FSI - looking to get a 2000 - 2007 for under £2k so i'm unlikely to get 50mpg from either engine, ok I have come to accept this; but which is more reliable and durable for high mileage...

    slow heater - matrix already replaced

    thanks for post! don't worry - engine was cold, just fired it up to do bleed. of course with coolant up to temp bleeding would be ill-advised wish I'd seen your process for this earlier, but may well still need it

    slow heater - matrix already replaced

    was indeed airlock in matrix or hoses - exposed hole on matrix hose and nothing happened. revved it up and there was a sputter of coolant then a steady jet from the hole. I had tried this before but not revved engine. now got climate on 23-24 and getting warm in a couple of minutes! new...

    slow heater - matrix already replaced

    Thanks for replies - Waited til I did a longer drive, engine temp up to 90. setting it to 'HI' did not heat up any quicker, hoses to matrix were hot. perhaps there is still some air left in the matrix, I will try unscrewing the coolant resevoir and raising it above the matrix, then checking...

    1.9 tdi 115PD EGR Cooler?

    ((depending on year of car you may be better-off posting in the B6 section)) I blocked mine (1998) using ebay EGR blanking plates - less than a fiver. I believe yours would be a post 2001 engine, so you would probs need a 'EGR delete kit' such as the Darkside one. this replaces the EGR...

    steam from heater vents / heater core ?

    so as the MOT is due this month I will try bypassing the heater core with some 20mm tubing or elbow between the in / out. this should give me a working screen vent to pass MOT and buy some time to deal with heater

    steam from heater vents / heater core ?

    Hi all and hope the new year is off to a great start! problem: steam from heater vents / screen vent with heater on - the steam smells funny and leaves residue on the screen that is very hard to wipe off so presumed coolant leak from core rather than rain water leaking in? also the fuel gauge...
