Thanks. It struck me that the rear pads have worn away far quicker than the front pads. I would have thought the other way round?? Or do I need to adjust something??

Well, this is the first time in 50+ years that I have been unable to do something pretty simple mechanically. I am trying to change the rear discs and pads. Got as far as the caliper brackets which require a 14mm spline - my set finished at 12mm. None in nearby Halfords but local garage 50m...

It is a USB HEX-CAN. And usefully the Owner's Manual doesn't even identify Fuse 8, only 5 as a diagnostic connector.

Sorted. Having cleared the DTCs, just one remains: VIN: WVWZZZAUZGW089940 License Plate: 202312221855 Mileage: 70285km-43673mi Repair Order: Address 5F: Information Electr. Labels: 5G0-035-MIB-STD2.clb Control Module Part Number: 3Q0 035 842 A HW: 3Q0 035 842 A...

Duff fuse 8. But beeped when I used the probes on the fuse top contacts. Now have a look with VCDS.

Thanks. I've tried to connect VCDS but as pin 16 only has a few milivolts, it doesn't work with a "not plugged into car" message after running VCDS test. I've checked all the fuses in both fuse boxes and all are OK. Volts have been fine - 12.5 left in garage and 14.8 with engine running.

I've just done an oil change, removed undertray, drained oil and changed filter. Replaced tray. Exactly as I've done in the past. Did touch anything else except a few leaves that got in by driver side fog light wiring plus had to slightly re align wheel arch felt trim at passenger rear side...

The spring in the throttle body has just failed abroad, so needed a VW dealer repair. I found a supply source in Poland who can supply springs for €25 instead of a few £00 for the complete body. So I can get a couple sent to a French address. It seems quite a common failure across a number of...

Car goes in for MOT shortly, and it might fail on rear brake disc retardation. They are getting rather corroded. ECP has a few choices - Eicher at £31 to ATE at £50, including Pagid and Brembo at approx £41. I've certainly heard of Pagid and Brembo and wondered if there was any recommendations...

I suspect it is someone originally reading/transcribing roman 2 "II" for eleven. Just like the EHI 01 helicopter, which became known as EH 101. "the aircraft had been marketed under the designation EH101. The original designation was EHI 01, from the name given to the Anglo-Italian joint...

For all the doubters, I expect to see many volunteers for the Human Covid Challenge Trials.

Searched forum to see if there was anything about a LED swap using these: https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d3s-led-35w-4200lm-6000k-headlight-bulbs-twin-pack/ Anyone done a swap??

But quite a lot less power. The garage did say that the 1.4 had a 5 year change interval.

On a 1.0 TSI??

Just taken my car in for major service at 5 years old plus aircon and brake fluid. Told me cambelt didn't need changing after all and is fitted for life?? Thought all that had been done away with and it was now a 5 year change interval. Brake discs, particularly rear, are corroded with an...

Check the universal joints in the drive shaft. I have had one disintegrate doing a tight turn.

Just a query about power outputs of the 1.0 TSI engine. My 2015/2016MY Golf has a 85kw 1.0TSI variant. Now the output of that engine has been dropped to 81kw. I wonder why? Has the engine changed from the Otto cycle to Miller cycle?? Or something else?? Anyone know??

Many years since I have done this and top of petrol engines have changed out of all recognition since my Mk 2 petrol Golf and Lupo. The NGK website doesn't list plugs for the CHZD 85kw engine. Only PKER7A8EGS for the CHZC 81kw engine. I think that the same plugs are used for both engines, but...

Mine are staying on whilst driving. They do go out when vehicle is locked etc. Pushed all the buttons and read manual. Wondered if anyone else had experienced this?? Otherwise, looks like a look with VCDS.

Wretched MIB2 is defaulting on switch on to playing the SD Card content. And then when switching to radio, goes to AM 643khz. Even when I switch off with a DAB station playing. Done a long power button hold to reset system, but still persists. Any thoughts??
