Might be something else for you though.

Appreciate the reply mate. Is that the pillar before or after the rear passenger window?

Bumping after 10 days, still struggling with this issue unfortunately

My parking sensors randomly stopped working after a injector failure/repair which I think was a coincidence. No longer beeps when put into reverse and the headunit says the sensors are unavailable. The stored error was control module incorrectly coded 01543, but not sure how it would become uncoded ...

Another question re the oil extractor! I have everything I need to complete it now, but my driveway has a slight incline and I'm wondering if it would be better to have the front pointing up the incline, or down. Dipstick tube must either go to the front or back right?

Thanks again!

How much was the new injectors? How did you know they were faulty? What was the test? cheers Can't remember exactly but I think parts cost were around £100 each injector. Basically the engine suffered with a misfire, and the coilpacks had been changed a few months back so they were ruled out. Next ...

Hi all, To my surprise after looking at my spare wheel for the first time since I bought the car (even then was a quick glance), I found out pre-facelift models with Dynaudio ship with no spare wheel sub. I'd like to install one but have a few questions if anybody has been down the same route. From ...

Perfect, thanks for your help. I've ordered a pump and just need oil now!

Cheers

Fantastic, thanks both for your replies. Can you see any issue removing petrol contaminated oil? As I’ve been shopping around some pumps seem to carry a warning that they shouldn’t be used to extract petrol/flammable/hazardous liquids, not sure if this is related to the plastic material or if there ...

Hi all, Looking for some advice regarding changing contaminated oil after injectors was replaced after it became stuck open causing a misfire. Had a friend do the work for me, in total replacing 2 injectors, plugs and coilpacks, and the problem is now resolved. At the time I had no idea the oil had ...

There are two models for 6-speed manual transmission on Scirocco 2010. 1 - MQ250 (data model KWB); Transmission fluid: G 052512A2; High-perf. transmission fluid: G 052527A2. 2 - MQ350 (data model KNU, KRM, KXZ, KZS, LHD, LMN, LNZ, NFN, NFP, NFU, PFT); Transmission fluid: G 052171A2; High-perf. tran...

If you look at the build sticker located on the boot floor or on the one stuck on the inside of the service booklet, you should get a 3 digit gearbox code and should be able to cross reference that with the correct oil. Perfect, didn’t realise they printed that kind of stuff! Cheers Sent from my iP...

Hi all, Continuing my notchy/rough gear saga I’ve been recommended to have the oil changed on the manual gearbox. Most people say go with genuine oil, is this the best stuff or is there another variety to try for a possible work synchro? Heard of others using Millers. According to the VW’s ETKA ther...

Hadn't realised how easy (looks at least!) it is to adjust the linkages, may be worth a shot

Cuprabob wrote:First thing I would suggest is to try adjusting the gear linkage.

I had ruled that out because whatever the cause is doesn't affect it 100% of the time, and read that if the linkages needed adjustment then it would be a problem all the time.

Would you say it's still worth considering?

Cheers!

Hi. I had these issues when i first got my rocco tdi. I had the oil changed by vw but still no difference when cold. It really didnt like 1st gear when cold. So i contacted the scirocco north east owners club about this problem and one guy told me to change to a short shift gear mechanism. On Ebay ...

My 2010 2.0 TSI manual gearbox has some issues I’m hoping an oil change will help with, but wanted to see if there are any other suggestions/experiences. (80k miles) Basically when the box is cold (esp in cold weather) it’s a bit stiff and for the first few changes between 1,2,3 it feels like metal ...
