Thanks, I'll take a look and see if mine is the same

Nice to hear you sorted your problem, so were you also losing coolant out of the expansion tank? I'm currently losing coolant, it seems like the car runs fine then out of nowhere it will bring up a warning light and the coolant tank is empty, so sounds similar to what you said, I also only have...

I'm not sure, I will try and have a look but I've not seen anything, I feel like the only thing I could try is to replace the heater matrix as I do only have heat on one side of my vents and I have been sometimes hearing a gurgling sound from behind the dash as I turn the engine off, also...

Any news on this and what fixed it?

Did you fix the issue? anyone?

Sorry to bring this up again but I’m having the same kind of issue, had it looked at by two garages and both said they can’t find any external leak, I’m not 100% sure where the leak comes from but the coolant tank ends up empty, it seems fine for a few days then out of nowhere the coolant tank...

Updating this again as I really want to ge this sorted and struggling to find any info on my specific issue. Had two garages look at the car now, both pressure tested it and couldn't find any external leak, they couldn't see any leaks from the water pump or thermostat but within 300 miles the...

No gases detected so that’s good, new tank fitted, going to see how it goes over the next few days, still expecting it to leak again and my coolant to turn shit from all the crap coolant already in the system but if it stops leaking then I’ll be getting the coolant system flushed and replaced.

I'm having a similar issue, just losing coolant completely although my car doesn't seem to be overheating, I've also had the water pump done last year so waiting to get it looked at properly, just wondered if you found the cause to your issue yet?

Around 1.5 weeks ago I got in my car at night and a low coolant warning came on my dash, had a look but coolant tank looked full so didn't drive it and checked it the next day morning. The coolant tank was completely empty and the tank was orangey in colour with residue stains. I just topped it...

Not sure if you have fixed this now but I noticed last year I also had standing water in the well for the spare tyre, I looked online and found that theres a rubber bung under the car near one of the rear wheels and if you push this in you will see lots of water spill out on to the road, when I...

Do you do a lot of driving? I do and have to top my oil up every other month or so don't really take notice how often, but I check it about once a month although I got the same check light the other week so just topped it back up and all good. Does sound like a lot of oil to go through in 3...

Could it be the glow plugs need changing? I've changed one myself to try an fix another problem, they are cheap to get and try yourself (apart from one of them which has a sensor on) easy to take off but have to be careful they don't snap and drop into the engine block.

Update: Ended up paying £300 to have a new fuel injector fitted (waste of money as wasn't the problem nor did it fix it) Guess ekramz was right but I'd used this garage for 8 years so I trusted them as never really had any problems until recently. Now I have had VW specialist in the area look...

Heard back from the garage and they seem to think it could be a new fuel injector but could also be a couple of other issues too, not sure if I want to pay £400 to get a new injector fitted if I'm not certain it will fix the issue though.

Hi I thought I fixed the issue by changing glow plug 2 which a garage said could be the problem, that seemed to fixe it for about a month and now it has lost power 6 times in the last 2 days, so It's going back to the garage, have you had any luck? These are the error codes I got when I scanned...

Thanks for the responses, unfortunately I don't have a VCDS or anything available to me other than my OBDeleven just for personal use. I have had it back from the garage and think the light is from a faulty cable connection, the engine light is currently off so hopefully that doesn't return. I...

This has happened twice now, first time I was going 70mph on a dual carriageway (with no hard shoulder) so was pretty sketchy as I just heard a thud and then flashing glow plug light and a load of ACC/front assist errors, I managed to coast with no power and hazards on to 30mph where I managed...

Got my wheels refurbished yesterday, went for a gloss anthracite, really happy with them and look just as imagined against the silver, just need to avoid any kerbs.

Thanks for sharing, they do suit your car actually and and don't look as lost as I thought, my only concern is the black on silver might be too stark of a contrast, I think I'm still leaning to anthracite for now but will keep looking and make sure I make the right choice, might just come down...
