Re: Non starting after a 45min drive

I should have mentioned I have done that and there's no fault codes stored, not related to this anyway!

Help with diagnosing fault - is it terminal?

Hey everyone, I'm currently in a bit of a crap situation that I think might lead me to be on my way to a very expensive repair, or having to get rid entirely. The car is a 59 plate, 2.0 DSG model (Diesel). Issues: Since I first bought the car back in 2016 it has sometimes struggled to start after a ...

new-ish owner - possible gearbox/clutch issues

Hi there, I picked up a 2009, 2l DSG model late last year. I've not had an auto before, but loving the DSG. However I've had a couple of odd experiences that make me worry. 1. A sort of muffled "bang" while driving. Once while at speed but accelerating, and another while just cruising out ...

Re: Diesel in the engine bay

I'll give it a clean up this weekend and see if it comes back.

Not worried about the fire risk, its more that it's where it shouldn't be!

Diesel in the engine bay

Had to change the drivers side dipped beam last night, and while reaching down and in to get to the bulb that there was a smell of diesel and it was oily/wet as shown below. Thoughts? It was serviced around 2 weeks ago. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170302/a8d03fcf03763639ffc9a1d994e2e9b3.jpg h...

Re: How much is a RCD510 + Fiscon worth?

Sorry to hijack the topic, but what model Fiscon, have you got? I have an RCD 510 with Dab and I'm looking for something similar. Car is a 2008 model with Red MFD. Does this help? It's from a 2009 with red MFD. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170217/8a1a964045890ac8d04a3e93154a5daf.jpg" onc...

How much is a RCD510 + Fiscon worth?

A few months back I swapped out the standard kit for an Alpine with CarPlay. The old gear has been sat on a shelf since. I didn't think it was wort keeping, but I just saw on eBay that these sell for somewhere between £90 and silly money. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170215/0ddf0909c21ea89a444...

Engine doesn't shut off until key is removed

Hi all, I noticed yesterday that the engine was still running after turning the key all the way back to the starting position. It didn't cut out until I removed the key completely. I just removed the factory fitted stereo and installed an Alpine unit, but I can't imagine that would cause this... Sug...
