    do 2007 2.0 TDIs have DPFs?

    My exhaust is emitting excessive smoke and some folk are telling me that it may be due to the Diesel Pasrticulate Filter but I'm not sure if my car actually has one. Can anyone tell me please? Car is an S-Line 2 litre TDi on a 57 plate. Thanks in advance.

    smoke from engine when I take oil filler cap off when engine is hot. Can anyone tell me why this is?

    I've checked the dipstick and it looks like there is too much oil in the engine. It it past the max on the dipstick. Could it be this that's causing it to burn off oil? Thanks

    smoke from engine when I take oil filler cap off when engine is hot. Can anyone tell me why this is?

    Someone told me it might be because the car had possibly been remapped? There is no coolant leaks or discoularation. Would the coolant be getting oil in it if it was the head gasket? Thanks for your help

    Vacuum leak...please help

    It is definitely the right first step m8. As you no doubt know yourself faults can be difficult to pin down exactly. Replacing this broken filter housing/ air box is definitely the first thing to eliminate. Have this done and go from there. TPS website will get you to the right part no...

    Vacuum leak...please help

    Definitely cracked m8. You should try TPS trade part specialists. This crack and the incoming air and dirt will be interfering with the MAF readings. I would have this replaced as a good first step. Sent from my Studio G HD LTE using Tapatalk

I would be willing...

    would PAS failure lead to other warning lights coming on?

    That is the anti-roll bar m8. If new battery doesn't help I'm going to have the rack off and sent back down to bba-remans. It was reconditioned about 18 months ago and is still under warranty. Hopefully it won't come to that but the picture looks bad...big gap on the left hand side that should...

    would PAS failure lead to other warning lights coming on?

    Battery is only 6 months old but I am taking it back under warranty tomorrow. A couple of my mates have also suggested this as a first step. Car is off the road because of this problem so hopefully it will be a straightforward fix. I will keep you posted. I have found this little hole/crack on...

    would PAS failure lead to other warning lights coming on?

    My power steering failed on Monday. Warning light in display appeared as expected. I have discovered a crack in housing for ECU on the electric motor on the rack. I think water has got in there and is causing the problem. Over the last few days I have driven the car several times on very short...
