  1. The gunk is from the coolant bottle (it has a little section in the bottle with a sealant type solution) and heater matrix do get blocked very easily with the said solution. Water pumps leak for fun usually. Vag specialist should know that.
  2. Yes its true, we have a mechanic that left us to go and work at VW and he has confirmed this. The infotainment module does too much, if you saw the list of jobs it does you would be amazed. Recall for a non safety item? Yes this does happen.... "the service desk for those recalls is just through the back of that wardrobe over there"
  3. We are getting hassle off a 2015 at the minute that needs a new infotainment module (5f) . Apparently most can be fixed with a software update at either the dealers or a good indie that has ODIS.
  4. Hi Barbara.... Do you come here often?
  5. It would seem as though he has
  6. It should have a DPF, there should be no smoke really.
  7. I think its a case of getting it into kit form and seeing whats wrong with it. Some of the multi chronic gearboxes have a filter buried right inside the gearbox. TBH of it needs a filter its fooked as it will be full of swarf from a major failure somewhere. My salesman listed his own Faulty CVT Audi on gumtree and sold it the same night to a polish man with recovery truck for sensible money.
  8. Hi Andy There was a guy on here a while ago that had a track car MX5 and messed about with them. I cant remember his name though. He was north east based, Blaydon area from memory. Found it....

  9. Perhaps you need to google it... type into google “How to gain more patience”
  10. Now that takes me back to my youth.... I used to love going down to the local reiki and playing football... jumpers for goal posts n all that
  11. Yes I do remember that. The battery goes flat whilst on the computer too unless you either unplug the fan or have it on a BSU.
  12. I’d wager as already said it will probably require a new temp sensor...... Id also wager it needs a new timing chain with the cam sensor code
  13. They are free at your local supermarket car park! Just don't let the police catch you
  14. 14 Plate is two years out of warranty. I wouldn’t like to be swinging by mi balls for two years
  15. The newer Mercedes engines are made from the same chocolate as the BMW engines are. Ive had bother with a few, the garage over the road has done several. I had a friend of a friend phone us this week asking if we could supply and fit a engine to a 14 plate merc.
  16. I’m worried about how you found that BHM Butt... where do you plug it in?
  17. You have a snap on that coded a q5 key? Was that using a pass thru device?
  18. I doubt either could code a key on anything within the last 5 years.
  19. Unless you want to spend 12k, Plus subscriptions... i wouldn’t bother.
  20. No it’s just the theft of the cost of the product. The £7750 is the amount recieved that is being clawed back.
  21. My bad, sorry. i just read it again. Yes I agree your loss is £7750 plus the aggro. Are you in the clear on the first transaction, I’d be digging out the paperwork and making some calls. What address did you put the V5 in?
  22. Read it again, he’s sold him two cars I presume both cars were £7750?
  23. Hang on.... a Skoda Felicia? That’s a future classic now
