Oil

Hello. I know this question has been asked numerous times but thought I'd ask what oil everyone uses and if they follow the guidelines set out in the owners manual (VW 504 00 for flexible services and VW 502 00 for fixed services). I have a 2014 model with 49000 on the clock. I do roughly 5000 miles...

Anyone park in a council garage?

Hi all

Very interested in a B8, but does anyone know if it will fit in a standard council garage?

TIA

Re: Sad day

Thanks. It has around 96,000 on the clock. I have asked for them to up the offer, apparently it can take up to 8 weeks for a decision.

Re: Sad day

I'm ok thanks. I stuffed it up the back of a truck in a queue of traffic.

The radiator has gone, bonnet, grille and bumper. Not sure about the headlamps as I haven't really inspected it yet.

Is it a write off? The insurance said it is, but that's without them seeing pictures.

Re: No power steering from cold

I haven't run VCD, will give that a go. I bought some more fluid and flushed out another litre as, on inspection, the fluid was still brown and not the lovely clear green it should be. It's now more green but I think I still need to flush more. Good news is that it hasn't failed the last few morning...

Re: No power steering from cold

So, turns out the fluid in the reservoir wasn't the correct fluid. When I topped it up and subsequently removed some as I overfilled it, I noticed the fluid was brown and not green! Saying that, my garage flushed it out and replaced it on Monday. Tuesday morning it was fine but...this morning it was...

Re: No power steering from cold

Yes, it was on the min mark and is now topped up to the max but it hasn't fixed it :(

I'm going to get it flushed as I know it can lose its properties over time. Perhaps in the cold weather it is too cold and the pump refuses to operate? I have no idea...

No power steering from cold

Hi all

When it's very cold, my power steering fails to work. After a mile or so I can get it working by turning the ignition off and back on. After that, it works as usual until the next cold start...

Anyone experienced this or have heard of this issue before?

Thanks

Jules
