A further twist to the tale, excuse the pun..

A swop of the fuses for right and left shows that both fuses are fuctional, but the passenger tail light and passenger sidelight do not function any longer. Have I popped something else or do I need a new front passenger light assembly?

When I tried to ...

Yo,

Changed the front driver side sidelight with a replacement LED no problem, but the passenger side I had to take the bumper off to do (clasically).

When I plugged the replacement in to the pasenger side it was flickery off and on, so wedged a bit of cardboard in to get constant light.

Tried to ...

Sorry I didnt think!

Engine is 1.4 TDI remapped to 100 BHP.

Just found an article that sounds the same as mine referring to the housing of the thermostat: -

Will get an OEM thermostat and the housing fitted next week and will report back on the result. The ...

Hi all,

My temperature has always sat at 90 in the middle when driving around but lately it has been sitting around about 70 degrees.

I plugged in my ECU reader and observed the live data which shows its running at 68-69 degrees all the time and the gauge on dash reports 70. No faults on the ECU ...

Yeah it seems to get worse and worse until it starts making the noise when your heavy braking and taking bumps. That's when it starts to sound like your door latch as its a rattle as if the door isn't closed properly.

One thing I took from it though was that you can wrap your door striker in layers ...

It turned out to be the door hinge sending a creak through the metal panel inside the door. I usually keep the door hinges greased up but I guess as we have hit this warmer weather, they just started crying for another greasing.

Greased em up - creak gone!

Yes mate first thing I tried before taking the door apart was to tighten the 2 bolts that are visible which hold the lock mechanism in place. They turned a bit and are now as tight as can be, although the noise remains!

One thing I didnt think to try was to remove the plastic hole to the door ...

Hi guys,

Hoping someone can offer some assistance as recently my drivers door has started making a metal clunking noise every so often when I hit speed bumps or on generally rough road surfaces. The noise sounds like as if the door isnt fully closed properly, although it is!

I read on other forums ...

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to replace my wing and have one in for painting as we speak!

Before I attempt to fit it someone please let me know if I'm right in what I'm saying and if there's anything else missing: -

1. Take the wheel off and jack it up, remove the inner wheel arch lining and front ...

I've got some spare parts for sale: -

I have a rear passenger lamp assembly with the seals (Brand new in packaging without the bulb holder on the back of it). Bought a new one as I had water in mine and the postman gave me 2 :)

I have a passenger side wind deflector (brand new in packaging in ...

Just thought I would update this thread to suggest that the pump is still for sale if anyone is in need!

Nah I didnt bother getting the grommit out. I was down to one more screw to get the unit out, but the screw is beyond the Earth from the battery and is inn such an awkward place, I couldnt be bothered for any more hassle. The new grommit and pump sit nice with no more leaking! The pressure of the ...

Just an update on this for everyone, it was indeed the pump that had gone. I replaced the pump, with a new grommit and the problem is resolved!

Ahhh I only just saw your post and have already popped the grommit in! Ive got a new one on order but I wonder if its worth taking the bottle out to tip it upside down an get the grommit out. I doubt it would do any harm to leave it in there would it?
