Should I have a filter

Hi All Sorry if this is a daft question - should their be a filter of any sort in the little box at the front of the engine bay on a 2.0TDI (170)? This is the box I mean: https://s31.postimg.org/5nntr3zsn/IMG_1573.jpg https://s32.postimg.org/56bhf75cx/IMG_1574.jpg Just wondering as mine is empty. Ch...

"Normal" oil temp

Hi All Just wondered what the normal oil temp for a 2.0 TDI (170) should be. I've just had a thermostat replaced and so I've been checking the oil temps - once warmed up I'n running 92-95 when normal driving, up to 98-99 when putting the foot down, and when idling around 89-90. Temps stable after ar...

Paint Flaw / Damage

Hi All Just noticed a flaw / damage in the paint on my roof - I've attached a picture. If you run your finger over it you can feel it's rougher, so guessing the laquer has gone. No idea what could have caused this unless it was some bird muck I missed that's eaten into the paint? I'm guessing 'cause...

Soundaktor Removal

RCD510 - Radio Code

Hi All I've recently replaced the RCD510 in my Roc with the RNS510. I'd like to sell the RCD but I've gone through the documentation that came with the car (bought from a main dealer) and there's no code. I know that if I plug the unit back into my car I won't need the code - is there any way I can ...

RNS 510 - Day / Night

Hi All Just installed an RNS 510 in my roc in place of the RCD 510. Everything working fine except that even with the day / night display set to Auto, the display is always in "Day" mode - it doesn't switch automatically when the lights come on. I'm assuming I've missed some coding somewhe...

Re: Finding out build date

Thank you :)

Is there a way to confirm the trim level? I think it's a GT but I'm not sure how to check.

Finding out build date

Hi All

New to the forum - picked up my 11 plate 2.0 TDI 170 in white yesterday - just wondered if there's any way to find out the build date of the car?

TIA
