Re: Απ: Spark Plugs on 1.4TSI 160HP

Sorry but I need some clarifications here. As I mentioned before the spark plugs ending with B are iridium, but spark plugs ending with A are platinum (at least according to ngk codes). Why do you suggest that this two spark plugs are essentially the same? Also if I got it right, the B revision is f...

Re: Απ: Retrofit new ABS module for ESP deactivation?

The settings are more like 0=low, 1=medium, 2=hard (I believe so)

You tried change the above settings, or change bits in long coding?

Re: DSG7 gearbox tremble in second gear

It seems that VW has released a new part to resolve the issue with the tremble. A dealer told us that VW has issued o repair notice to all the dealers. Until i have more info for me it is still a rumor.

Any info from your dealers?

Re: One headlight stopped working

I m not quite sure if it has been metioned before but try the following.

In a lot of simiar cases in Greece that "procedure" did the trick.

Re: Scirocco 2,0 tsi failure to run, engine not starting

At the end the turbocharger had broken the axle and the wind that lead to the exhaust was stuck and acted as a closed flap, blocking the flow of the exhaust gase...
