At 142k my 77TSI 2011 Polo seems to be having a series of problems. Has been parked for a while driving over the weekend quite sluggish and the catalytic convertor warning light came on in the dash. Drove home ok using a route with less hills.

Is this simply an error code you can attempt...

Can anyone tell me what would be the expected time frame for changing Serpentine belt 2012 T5.1 7EA engine 2.0 litre 103 . I had ours changed along with timing belt at 125000 kms in October 2022 now on 155000 kms and the serpentine failed last night . Managed to drive home from Bribie Island Qld to...

Hi all.

We are currently living and working from our 12 tonne truck in remote WA and have been since 2022. We've popped home to Adelaide from time to time but it's looking like we won't be this time.

Anyway, sat in the workshop at home is our very tidy 2017 Ravenna...

Hi all

Hoping someone can help me by accurately measuring their stock exhaust tip size please…

I measured the exhaust pipe that the tip is welded to at 70mm diameter so guessing the tip will be slightly bigger than that…

I’m not home for a couple of...

Hi all,
Just picked up a low km 2020 R (1 week ago). Very happy with the fit/finish and performance, until today, when the wife called to say that it won’t start and is throwing multiple errors. Will have a look when I get home, but I suspect battery issues. Anyhow…. that’s what led me here,...

Having issues finding a home for 2 wires that come from towbar wiring harness to module in rear quarter panel.

Hey all - drove around 7 hours from home over the long weekend in my 2010 t5.1 transporter and made it to destination fine. Shortly after an extra highway stint the engine light came on.

Luckily my mate had his scanner and we got the code P0401 EGR insufficient flow A.
Van has done...

Hello all,
I bought a 2017 Polo 81tsi Comfortline yesterday after much lurking and reading through these forums. The car was to replace my wife's 2007 SP23 that was written off.

So far we've only driven it home from Newcastle, but it's quite an impressive little machine. Looking...

Hi, Today we picked up a 2008 T5 Transporter 2.5 lit TDI. It's done heaps of klms but drove well on the trip home. We have 2 big dogs so this van will suit them perfectly.

After a recent airtrip junket to the NT for my work {20 minute repair job on a customers car through Insurance } I managed to spend an extra bit of time in and around Darwin and LOVED it . So our next plan is to do a family road trip but one BIG problem , our first plan was to rent a mobile home to...

Hi All,

Just noticed a quirk with my windshield wipers. When the wipers are on, it sweeps across the screen and back to its 'almost' home position. On the next sweep, it goes back to home position and then sweeps across the screen.

Has anyone noticed this on their Golf? Is...

Hi all,

While driving home last week, the ESP light appeared on the dash. Clicking the ESP button didn't switch the ESP light off. After I got home I realised that the brake lights were not lighting up when the brake pedal was pressed (but the centre brake light is still functioning normally)....

a few weeks ago on the way back home, the abs light lit up, the sliding car one, flashing parking brake + beeping. it was a really hot day here in adel and it had been parked in direct sun for a few hrs.

i took it easy on the drive home but nothing felt different

Hi all,

Picked up a 2016 Golf over the weekend. Loving the TDI and DSG for my 90km trip to work!

Anyway, Trip to work this morning was fine. Touchscreen and menu's worked as they should. Start the car for the trip home and the screen that displays your cars fuel economy,...

Hi guys,
So my wife's MY18 TDI Skoda Superb has started playing up.

I'm well aware that on all newer TDI engines, if the diesel particular filter was in the middle of doing a re-generation, that when you turn the engine off it's common for the engine fan to run at full speed for...
