Hi all,
I suppose this is a bit of a PSA for people to consider removing the silica bag in the coolant expansion tank in their Passat (or other Volkswagen AG car that contains one).

A couple of weeks ago I was driving about 60km/hr when a warning to check the coolant appeared on the...

Hi all, have a 2014 Mk7 TDI and I had a large coolant leak and managed to pinpoint where I think the issue is.

It first started as a slow leak, could go about 300kms until the top up tank would be empty and the alarm would come on. Took it to the mechanic who said that they pressure tested...

Hey guys as the title states, I have 140k km on a manual unmodified 2018 GTI, until now every tank of fuel has gotten 620-650km per tank since new.
The Last 3 tanks have been 500km. Seemed to happen over night.

No codes on OBDeleven. Brakes are not sticking. I just did spark...

I've recently purchased a 2000 gti golf I've been playing, long story short I fill the fuel tank up just to find it has a nice little hole in the side. So my question is are they the same tank as the 1.6 liter in the mk4 ? They look the same, same fuel pump mount point thanks for any help given

Hi everyone,

My sister in law asked me to help her replace the coolant expansion tank that is leaking. It looks like this, it seems to be a common issue on those expansion tanks where the coolant evaporates through the joint.



Watching a youtube video it looks...

Anyone else had to replace their fuel tank rubber seals? Did mine under warranty (MY 19.5 Aus delivery) but surprised they degraded so much, fuel was leaking into wheel well area so pretty whiffy and dangerous.

Hello there,

I had my S3 serviced yesterday and was told that my radiator expansion tank was leaking around the water level sensor plug.
Apparently VW/Audi/Skoda all suffer from this.

Has anyone on the forum had a similar problem?
And if so, where did you...

What is recommended for first start of a 2014 vw t5 that has not been driven since covid ?

Vehicle only has 55000km

Will have diesel tank drained and change all filters.

Hi Guys

1st post. Ive got a 1991 Cabriolet (Fuel Injected). Engine turns over and I have a spark. I've replaced the small pump attached to the fuel sender , replaced the air and fuel filter. I have replaced what I now believe was a 1 way valve that sits between the small pump attached...

Hi Guys
Unfortunately I was operating on auto pilot yesterday and after driving my wife’s petrol car for a few weeks I inadvertently put 10l of Petrol into my Diesel Tiguan. I drove it for a km or so before I realised. The car is now parked whilst I work out what to do with it.

Hey guys. My Amarok was laid up (battery taken out and most diesel drained) a half dozen years ago.
Just arrived back on Friday, to flat tyres and a missing battery.

I would love to know your opinions on just how I should approach getting this vehicle back on the road.
...

so the TSI decided to start juddering at h`way speed, I thought was a faulty coil pack or plugs and went to change them with no luck, then I took her VW for a full diagnosis and they said I had dirty fuel in the tank oil had mixed with the fuel from a filling station, they recommended I remove the tank...

So this afternoon I put half a tank of unleaded in my T6 340.

I then filled it up with diesel before googling and finding out I shouldn't start it or try to drive it.

It's currently been pushed away from the bowsers and left while I wait for a towing company to open after...

Selling now that I've upgraded to the vRS Skoda Octavia.
Still runs well, good little zippy 2L turbo diesel. City driving gets around 800km to a tank and up to a 1000km on long trips (i managed Newcastle to Brisbane on one tank).
leather seats, aftermarket 6 stacker...

Hoping someone can help with some advice?!

My partner went to pick-up some shopping, and on the way home she decided to put fuel in the vehicle. Cut a long story short - she accidentally put Shell V Power in the tank (31 L...
