I have a 1.6d non turbo but like has been suggested before I have been using 15w40 that is 505 spec for the last 12 years and no issues.

Definitely sounds like a filter problem originally anyway, I had the same symptoms before. You do need to prime a new filter like Oldie said. You can get a primer pump in Screwfix if you need one or if your really stuck suck the fuel through on the return side of the filter (had to do this on the Co...

If your in Ireland there is vwspares.ie, air-cooled-parts.com or vantopia.ie . I am in Ireland as well and I use those three of I need parts and haven't been let down yet by them and the owners all seem nice and very clued in if you contact them.

Oh that’s a good idea,I will give it a go. I found some bungee cord in the back of a cupboard so I just used that there in a test run and it seemed to work as well. Just tied the upper roller to the passenger headrest.

Hi all, Just a quick question really. My sliding door latch keeps unlatching, particularly if going around a roundabout at speed or along bumpy roads. Even if the door is on a locked position One of the screw is missing from the latching mechanism on the sliding door so that's the problem. But, I'm ...

Cheers for that suggestion. I will have a look later and see if I can see anything around that area.

Thanks for the link Michael4, and good idea using some clamps as well bat!. Ya it is literally just a short term solution....that will inevitably turn into a long term solution . Thanks folks, appreciate the responses

How have I been so thick, of course just get a tarp. That's me trying to overcomplicate things as usual :D . Thanks for that, gonna look up one now. Hopefully won't even need it but it's just a useful thing to have just in case. Weather was brutal in France last year and the drop used get to me at l...

Hi all, wondering if anyone knows if something I'm thinking of exists :lol: . Bringing big blue to Scotland this year for about 3 weeks end of July into August. I am definitely expecting rain which is grand, nothing to different to here in Ireland, but I have a mystery leak that conveniently enough ...

I had a similar issue last year and ended up just bringing the knuckle to a local mechanic and asked him to press it out. He had it done in about 10 mins after me spending about 4 hours of doing similar to you. If that's an option I would try that, think of it this way, would you pay 30 quid to not ...

I only used this method the other day to get off a stubborn cap and it worked a treat. Get a claw hammer and put the claw part against the rim of the grease cap. The hammer head will then be fixed against the wheel so give the hammer handle a few taps upwards and the cap came away nicely.

I had a leak for ages that i always thought was oil and similar to you the underside of the oil sump, thought it was leaking around the dipstick but it was actually coolant from a pipe where the clip wasn't positioned correctly, causing the pipe to be slightly askew where coolant could drip out when...

Look on page 2 and you will see what I did to support the bed. 2 of us have been sleeping on it for the last 7 weeks not a bother. Hope this helps

Had a similar problem recently, front and rear wheel not spinning freely. Rear wheel I took off the drum and gave it a good clean with the wire brush and that solved that problem. In the front wheel I ended up changing the bearing (on both sides just to keep them the same even though only one wheel ...

Hey Sarran,

Really appreciate that offer if we are close to you. We are in Crozon at the moment until the 19th and then just for mental comfort we are going to head back towards roscoff until the 8th as we can't get an earlier ferry.
