Having a look now .. in the meantime I found a loose hose I can't figure out where the end goes. The other end goes into the engine on the same as as the connectors you asked me to look at. The open end isnt leaking or doing anything when the engine is running. There seems to be an open port but...

Hi, My engine light went on and I seems to be getting quite a lot of engine code errors due to short circuit to ground. I cleared the faults to be sure and the same errors returned: Car: Year: 2015 Body type: D5 Hatchback Engine: CXBA kW ( hp) l...

Thanks. However the engine noise and Turbocharger error occured before N82 was replaced. I am worried about the faulty wastegate issue which seems to be the common problem in these turbochargers. Will probably have a specialist look at it this spring time.

Next job : Engine rattle along with faulty Turbocharger - error code P00AF. I feel like I bought a lemon...

Turns out it was the N82 valve afterall. My garage started with a coolant flush and heater core change which didn't fix the problem (I changed the expansion tank to a silicate-bag free one). I inspected the previous heater core I installed and it is clear and functional! I asked him to check out...

Tnx- but a stuck closed valve would give me no heat, right? I am getting some heat still. My first heater core was clogged up and a new one fixed the problem but I forgot to flush the coolant and get rid of silica packet and so 2 years later same problem.

Tnx, you know what you're doing. What's your opinion on G13 vs G12evo vs off the shelf Euro purple brands?

What method do you use to flush all the coolant out of both the radiator and the rest of the engine including heater core?

Since some heat is already coming out of the heater core the difference in temperature will be between hot on one side and scalding hot on the other... It may be hard to tell but I will give it a try.

Tnx for replying. My engine code is CXBA. I have Mit Silikat stamped on the expansion tank so it is possible that the silicate bag has opened up inside a long time ago. I dont see it nor can i fish it out. When i changed the heater core 3 years ago i did not change the expansion tank. I didnt...

Hi, I thought I had permanently fixed a slow cabin heat issue by replacing the heater core in 2020 but the same problem is back again. My car was post-warranty and I somehow managed to get VW Canada to pay for half the repair since the problem had started during year 4. The engine temp goes up...

Correct, turns out it was a faulty water pump. I bought a new one and took it to the shop. It seems to be a common problem in this model.

I installed new rear rotors and pads 3 years ago and just noticed some heavy scoring on the exterior side of one of the rotors (the other one is fine). What can cause this?? I don't drive much, about 7500 miles per year. I cleaned out the pads and caliper bolts and put new brake silicone grease...
