Hmm, turns out the cap is OK, the coolant system is being over pressurised and in turn blowing coolant out the expansion and then seeping into the cylinder overnight. Time for a new head I think. Can anyone recommend any specialists in South Wales?. To alleviate the issue for now I'm every so...

Thanks for the suggestions, I've read that the hydrocarbon tests are not the best on the diesels and rarely show a fault. I spoke to a mobile mechanic who suggested this test to check if it's the head gasket: Run engine up to temp with the cap off, replace cap and if it pressurises fairly...

Should also have mentioned that there is a fair bit of pressure in the system after driving, such that unless I remove the cap slowly coolant rushes into the expansion tank when removed. Also noticed tonight that the underside of the expansion tank is wet, and the coolant appears to be being...

Hello all, I had my coolant warning come on last week, checked fluids and were down to the min level. Topped up and over the course of 24 hours it will drop to the min level again. I've been reading about cracked heads, so I have that in the back of my mind (urgh) but hopefully it's not that...

Thanks Karl, I appreciate the info. I took a look but wasn't able to find the PR sticker anywhere in the car, not under the rear seats nor the spare wheel. Luckily it was in the service book. Looks like I need 1BE\0YJ, so I'll keep the non quattro kit I think. Thanks again

OK, so... I had my 2005 2.0Tdi S-Line Avant with Coilovers already fitted. These are terrible and too low (and also I cannot raise them as the rears do not have the adjusters fitted..) So I've decided to go down the route of fitting the normal sports suspension back on. I've ended up sourcing...

South Wales

I haven't got time to sort the wiring out to get 'flash to pass' to work with the lights off, Also do not have auto-levelling (and the adjuster switch in dash will not work for OEM Bi-Xenons) And at the moment I haven't got access to VCDS to turn on the DRLs etc. Far easier to just get the...

Thanks for the fast response Dimitar. Yes they would be the whole lot, with ballasts & loom.

Looking to sell my OEM Bi-Xenon's with adapter loom (Installed before I had the car, looking to go down Trups mod route) Any idea what they are worth?

I'm not a mechanic, but from reading the responses on here it seems wise to replace the loom as a matter of course anyway. So why not do that first? If still issue attempt the swap of injector to see if the code follows the swap, then change the injector if need be? Seems a good path to follow...

No, it's got the OEM Bi-Xenon lights retro fitted. I'm not really concerned with enabling DRL, I'm more interested in getting the flash working with the lights off.

Hi t8ups, I've been reading a few threads where there is a lot of praise for your work on retrofitting bi-xenons, so I'm hoping you can help fix my issue. I've picked up a B7 Avant that has had OEM B-xenons retro-fitted. This is just the lights and no levelling system as far as I can tell (they...

Evening everyone, Just took ownership of an S-Line Avant that's had Bi-Xenon's retro fitted. It also had the USA coding so the indicators were acting as sidelights etc. I've turned this off so it's back to 'normal', but have noticed another issue or two. I've noticed that flashing does nothing...

Here she is. A little low for my liking, and probably will get rid of the wheels and get Rotor's

Alright fella! Currently Porth, originally Maesteg, soon to be back in the hometown hopefully

Hi all, Due to pick up my B7 Avant on Saturday, looks like a good forum here with plenty of knowledge on tap :) Cheers DB
