Re: Drivers Door Not Locking

Update, I’ve had a play around and worked out that it’s the deadlock not working properly. I also noticed some things missing from inside the car so have a feeling someone has broken into it and messed up the lock

Drivers Door Not Locking

I've noticed this issue recently where I've locked the car using the key fob, but when I pull the door handle the door opens and of course the alarm goes off. Looked through the previous posts that appear to have similar issues and sounds like it could be the door module, is this what I need to repl...

Re: Rough idle and squealing

It was the PCV, the diaphragm had a massive split. Replaced the whole unit and idle is back to normal, cleared the fault codes with Carista and they have not returned so far.

Rough idle and squealing

This issue started on Friday and following a search on here I think I’ve diagnosed the issue as the PCV failing. I’ve ran a Carista check and have misfires in all cylinders, lean code too, I’m hoping replacing the PCV will solve the problems. What I want to ask is would these issues give me unusual ...

Re: Unable to Start Engine and MFD Error Messages

When you have the battery changed you tend to get multiple symbols on the dash, one should be a steering wheel. You have to reset the power steering/ESP by turning the steering wheel full lock left then to full lock right this should clear the symbol. Did you do this?

Re: Side light not working

I take it I would snip off the old bulb holder and solder the new one on?

Side light not working

I’ve got a problem with the near side sidelight, I’ve changed the bulb but it’s not coming on. I’ve followed the instructions in the manual but that didn’t work, should I try a multimeter to check there’s a current to the bulb?

The indicator in that cluster is working fine btw.

Re: Amber esp & steering wheel light.

I picked up a puncture over the weekend and had to put the space saver wheel on for a couple of days until I could get to the garage, the first day I drove the car the ESP light came on and stayed on for my drive to work. When I went home the light disappeared, this morning when driving the ESP kick...

I have lost some steering wheel controls functions and centre console no longer displays what music is playing, would I need to get vag com to recode this?

rns510 fitted

Just fitted a 2017 rns510 with SSD hard drive, I've noticed the built in fan still runs even after its turned off. Is this normal and could it drain my battery?

Re: karcher pressure washer Problem ...?

Had this problem, after a while the plastic mount around the brass slips forward so the brass fitting won't lock in to place. When you turn on the water it blows the hose out of the machine. We were advised by karcher to trim back the plastic housing with a Stanley knife. Hope this helps

Re: Help! Need a v quick decision on Warrenties!

I'm in the same situation, received a letter that my 12 month warranty expires soon and I could purchase an extended warranty if I wanted. So do you guys think it's worth it? My car is 7yrs old with less than 30k on the clock
