I have a 2001 Bora VR6 that has engine code AUE. I have been told by VW is a 24V based on their check of the VIN... I am looking to get replacement hoses for the cooling system that has several leaks but, sadly, VW no longer make these parts, other than 1 of the hoses and 2 of the couplers. Been looking...

Hi,

3years and 11 months the original battery decided enough was enough. With the car not running it was registering only 9.5V.

So I've replaced it with a Century AGM. I've not 'programmed' the battery as my ODBEleven account doesn't have rights to do that so I'll have...

Can anyone confirm on a 2021 highline V6, the 12v outlet in the dash tray on top, is it meant to power down? I run my dashcam form it, and it seems to stay on, and over a longer period, flattens the battery.

not sure if its meant to, i may just bite the bullet and hardwire the cam to a...

I have a 2017 Amarok that came without a 12V socket in the rear tub - it has a rubber blank in the location where it normally resides - I'm hoping the wiring loom will have the connector and it's just a matter of buying the appropriate 12V socket and installing it - has anyone done this addition and...

Hi guys
Can someone please tell me what fuse number feeds that rear 12V socket, and also whether it is switched by aux or ignition on, or powered up always? Looking to use it as the trigger for the DCDC charger sensing wire rather than having to run the trigger wire all the way into the cabin...

The 12v cigarette lighter stays on even with the engine off in my 2006 mk5 Golf. Ive got a FM transmitter that I don't want to stay on 24/7!

How can I make it turn off when I turn the engine off? I've seen that on mk6 its only a matter of moving a fuse over, but for the mk5 it might be...

Does anybody know if it's possible to change the power source for the rear and middle 12v cig sockets to a leisure/dual battery? If so, any tips? My leisure battery will be located under the passenger seat.

I’ve been contemplating purchasing one of those portable fridge freezers (40-65L size) and running it off the boot 12V socket.

Do you think it’ll be fine, for say shopping trips and weekends away? I couldn’t find much info about the load that the boot 12V could handle.

We bought an Allspace at the beginning of this year. Recently I noticed that the start/stop wasn't coming on anymore unless we drove the car for quite some time. I checked battery voltage over a few days and noticed the battery generally only sat around 12.1 - 12.3V when parked and it dropped quite...

I want to connect up a 12v water pump for a farm spray unit. A temporary connection would be ideal as I will only be using it occasionally.

Can someone tell me how many amps I can draw though the 12v outlet in the tub? The pump spec says it draws a max of 18amp . I am guessing this is...

Just wondering whats behind this vent in the boot of my highline t5.1 multivan, and if there would be any concerns obstructing it with a camper bed / kitchen setup?

Another question whilst I'm here, the 12v port there and elsewhere in the van, assume they are rated to about...

So found out something interesting today. For the new models of Arteon, they've changed the rear console (this is the bit under the rear air-conditioning controls).

This is mine - 240v power (with euro connection, but works if you have an EU -> AU adapter), 12v socket and USB port....

Hi guys

Having slight issues with the golf recently.
Currently have a dash cam tapped into my 12v rear boot (well at least accordingly to the fuse diagram from the user manual). Issues are:

1. The cigarette lighter socket and rear 12v is no longer working. I've...

I bought a new 12V Car USB charger.

It was a tight fit so I pushed it in harder. It was too tight so I pulled it out. I plugged in another USB charger and that's when I found out the Cigarette lighter stopped working altogether.

Checked the fuse according to the manual...
