@ducky_lad Sorry for the wrong link, the advert is in the description and here www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/17293212

@jonathonbrett-qn1ic thanks very much. She's up on pistonheads.com, ebay, Facebook etc. £13,495

Thank you! She is so clean.

@jonathonbrett-qn1ic no problem, invoice is in the post 😉.

What battery did you get

@jonathonbrett-qn1ic not sure I had an issues that was as the battery was replaced a long time ago... generally a drive will sort those things.

@@jonathonbrett-qn1ic absolutely get ot replaced. 5 years is the rough lifespan of a battery. Well worth replacing even to save you issues down the line.

@@Netherlands-kg2hq thank you 😊

@@leebruce5852 not on a manual gearbox.

@@NeilMagill thank you, I’ve a 2007 dsg so trying to see if it needed a filter.

It may do.

The ones in use here are actually my dads. Pretty much any store sells similar, Argos, Halfords, Amazon, Ebay etc.

You don't it does the hard work for you. You can also be extra sure and use a suction bleeder too. Belt and braces!

@@NeilMagill Hi mate sorry to bother you, spent all day bleeding the clutch and doing the gravity bleed when finished to make sure all airs out and definitely bled right, but issue still there Change gear no problem Push clutch in and release slowly it bites really really low, If you push the clutch down again after only lifting it an inch or 2 before it bites when you’ve pushed it to the floor it’s like it’s got a mind of its own and clutch goes to floor and sticks in gear even with clutch fully pressed Only gets out of gear when you turn it off What would you think it is, internal leak on master cylinder ? Or concentric valve issue which sounds unlikely given the mileage It’s doing my head in It’s was a new sport clutch and single mass flywheel and new concentric slave less than 15000 miles ago… was parked up a year due to fuel pump issue.. got it started and started with clutch issues

@GaryTaylorvw You could look at the master or slave cylinder. They could be the next port of call if you have bled it perfectly.

Hey sorry I'm not 100% sure. But you can see I used a Bosch S4 011 if you need to cross reference.

Haha this does bring back memories... always something simple 😅

Same thing for me. This great video helped!

100% like most things it's down to the preparation.

Honestly not sure. Low batteries can cause many strange issues in a car.

@@NeilMagill Have this little suction i can feel when i place my finger on that tiny hole on the valve cover. thats for the pcv breather. is this normal on those cars?

@user-wz1zu5bg1t Hi mate, sorry honestly not sure.

OE ones from VW. I didn't want any NVH.

Honestly not sure. It's cleaned up now.

@@NeilMagill just with some brake cleaner?

@kingchooet9966 Yes mate.

The differential has a breather pipe,if it is blocked, squashed etc internal pressure has to go somewhere, probably the seals either side

Thanks for the compliments!! She's a great car and such a good all rounder.

Ta for the positive comments. As for the cost, good question, one to which I'd dread to work out, worth every penny though. I would say you could always do it in stages of course.

I'll have to double check for you.

12" 😀

You're very welcome, hope it was of help.

No worries mate. You saved yourself a few pound over the dealer doing it for you :).

You OK mate?

Hi Mate, I'm honestly not sure. Never had to do one.

Haha good points perhaps it was an RC and we got up close 😀

You are very welcome. Just remember they are all just nuts and bolts at the end of the day.

Follow the video and replace it?

I have a 2013 one as well but it doesn’t have a drain pipe or anywhere on the internals to connect one. The inside of my boot lid is filling with water, did you find a solution to this? Thanks

Thanks mate appreciate the comments!

Hi Gloria, I try not to spray it on the glass.

You are welcome and a good tip from you too!

Hi, sorry I don't know its part number.

@@NeilMagill Oh, no worries. You do not have the R32 anymore?

@kingchooet9966 I still have it, great car :)

@@NeilMagill It really is :) The part number should be on the back of the part. If you do not want to check it it's okay. Reason i am asking is because it is a R32 specific part and i can not find it easily on ebay or something like that.

Hey did you find the part number yet

Very strange, does the battery have charge, have you cycled the ignition a few times to prime the fuel system?

@@NeilMagill battery has charge yes and have cycled the ignition multiple times. Lights are on fine, interior lights boot light all ok. But dash is completely blank and radio is asking for code. When starting car immediately cuts out after running for 1 second. Possibly a fuse gone when changing battery? Battery is brand new, bought from Tayna a couple days back. Will probably have to call home start out to see if they can help :/

@@NeilMagill thought I’d update you. Turns out the whole dash / cluster went. Apparently really common on the MK5 platform. Anything from the surge of charge from a new battery to starting the car on a really cold morning can knock it out. Had it refurbed by a cluster specialist, back in and working fine!

@JC_46 goodness me! Glad to hear you got it sorted.

Sorry mate, I don't remember. You're probably best buying a set of bits anyway.

@@NeilMagill no probs thanks :)

Glad it was of use.

I agree and would fight that. There is a known issue with water getting into the tailgate and leave it there.

@@NeilMagill Thanks Neil appreciate the reply. I had a reversing camera fitted from the main dealer and the Technician who inspected the car said most likely the engineer who fitted the camera forgot to reconnect this pipe after installing the camera. But the Main Dealer is not claiming responsibility (surprise surprise). So you think I should just make the claim through the warranty and follow through with that process?

@@chaz159 100%, I'd say it's the fault of the dealer that fitted the reverse camera.

You are very welcome, a good time of the year to get this job done!

Glad it was of help 😀

Thanks for the valuable comment.

You aren't, push the hose in more or use a finer diameter of hose, that should do the trick.

Hi Gary, They are separate, I have videos illustrating both jobs. Cheers, Neil

Awesome mate, in that case have a beer on me!

Hi Mate, I sure did and it ws level too.

@@NeilMagill thank you for showing me a much easier way 👍

Loads of people have got them and never heard a issue on the groups with lucifer

Happy Days mate, keep at it. A good angle grinder will make the job much quicker.

​@@NeilMagillthanks buddy👍

Great stuff, glad it was of help.
