Re: Red oil pressure - stop engine warning.. Car in the gara
Got the car back today. The oil pump spindle had worn and failed.. As I expected from everything I had read online. Got an entire new engine on warranty. It sounds much better.. No more rough idle, so much more responsive and faster.. Its amazing. Well chuffed.

Re: Red oil pressure - stop engine warning.. Car in the gara
I bought it at 22500 miles, I took it to 30000 in the last few months. The oil got a top up a few weeks ago, just took about quarter of a litre. It had a service 3 or 4 months ago. They got back to me today, its getting a fully engine rebuild under warranty. Its a known problem, what I thought it wa...

Red oil pressure - stop engine warning.. Car in the garage
So was driving along at about 30 in a 60 stuck behind a bus, Dropped a gear and went to overtake, just as I passed the bus my warning light came on and the car started to sound like a tractor.. Pulled over as soon as I could and got her towed home. There is plenty of oil in the engine but noticed a ...

Re: Has anyone fitted a vented carbon or fiberglass bonnet?
Cheers for the link, doesn't seem to offer me a part number for the bonnet, could be cause they are the same.
Euro car parts site says the part numbers are the same.. Just puzzles me why most sellers say 2008 to 2014 only.. Weird

Re: Has anyone fitted a vented carbon or fiberglass bonnet?
Cool thanks.. I've messaged a couple of chaps from threads who have fitted them so basically the info I'm looking for is whether a pre facelift bonnet will fit a facelift. I'm gonna call euro car parts or someplace and ask if the part numbers are the same. I'm a smart cookie But yeah it's purely cos...

Re: Need help
Don't know the part number but a quick Google for scirocco rubber hoses throws up some results on ebay, you could butcher this or search around on the bay and maybe find the part https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-SCIROCCO-2-0-TDI-OIL-COOLER-HOSE-PIPE-CFG-CODE-GENUINE-MK6-GOLF-1K0122058P/223472945676?has...

Has anyone fitted a vented carbon or fiberglass bonnet?
Just looking for advice on the fit, where I might be best ordering from.. Whether I'd be better off with carbon or fiberglass etc
Also wonder how vented bonnets get on in the rain, bit worried about rain getting into the engine bay
Thanks!

Re: Slight whistling/whooshing while boosting
Not sure what mine was but it stopped after I took it to the garage.. Even though they said nothing was wrong and apparently they didn't do anything. I'd check all the connections through the air intake into the turbo as mine did come loose a couple of times, could be a tiny hole where air is being ...

Re: Rough idle loss of power..
Haha. Yeah I don't need any pvc!!
Cheers though any info at all will be a step closer to sorting it so I'll take it to a different garage this time and ask them to check that out!
