Hi learned owners My boot opening mechanism is shot on my 61 plate Tdi, the powered unit that clicks open when you hold the button on the key. I think the part no is 1K8 827 505B but I think this may have been superceded by a newer part. Can any one confirm of this is the correct part and a good pla...

Vandalism - alarm didn't go off
Hi, I know there are posts on here about alarm sensitivity but I didn't quite find the answer to my query. So.... a scum bag stole my wing mirror covers reverently and my alarm didn't go off. I understand if you click lock once on the key, you enable maximum sensitivity on the alarm system. Click lo...

Re: DIY EGR valve replacement on 61 plate 170 TDI
Hi guys, thank you both for your replies and sorry for the delayed response.

Thanks again!

DIY EGR valve replacement on 61 plate 170 TDI

I don't want to pay that. I have read online that people can remove them and clean them themselves, and i m considerin...

Re: Engine misfire/compression advice needed
Really feel for you man. I almost bought a 160 Tsi and was interested in the fuel economy. But every time I googled the engine to find out more about it, I just I saw pages problems. I m sure I read somewhere that if your car has a full VW service history they would replace your engine for free. Sou...

Re: No Bluetooth on 61 plate GT TDI 170
Thank you both very much for your replies. That makes sense. I also phone VW for good measure and they confirmed it didn't have Bluetooth as standard.
Thanks again for the info.

Hi all, I am new here and delighted to have just bought a beautiful GT TDI 170. I'm really pleased with it, but there is one thing that is bugging me; I have read that any car built/ordered after August 2011 comes with Bluetooth as standard. I'm pretty certain mine does not have bluetooth, there is ...
