I have had the same thing when the master cylinder seal allowed the brake fluid to drain into the servo. I got a master cylinder from a scrapper and it's been fine since. If you go down the second hand route make sure to get the right one as there seemed to be quite a few types

I have a 52 sharan tdi and noticed the heated seats don't work, there is a 5 amp fuse that is blown so I replaced it with another, this blew as I switched on the seat heater. Is a 5 amp fuse correct for heated seats? Where should I look first? I would like either the heated seats or the aux heater to work this winter.

I've bought another shalaxy after a week or two in an ordinary estate car. Plugged in vcds lite and got a couple of codes, I cleared them and ran the scan again after a quick trip. These are the codes that remain. Aux heater 01491 glow plug open circuit. This I'm assuming is a new plug required or wiring issues. A/c pressure switch f129 any ideas?

I've transferred the towbar from my old mk 1 to a mk2 and bought a wiring kit from vw for £53 It's for a 13 pin socket The main cable has only four wires in it and the instructions are not really clear Has anyone used one of these that could explain how to fit it? I can't even find the plug it connects to. I need to do it by Friday afternoon or suffer the wrath of the wife when I tell her were staying home this weekend

It's far from its original belt, its got 200 k plus on it But the last belt change I can find in the service book is 55k miles ago in 2009

Had exactly the same thing on mine and had the wheels balanced today and its cured I would have bet a months pay that it wasn't wheel balancing as the wobble was only apparent under load and between 15-25 mph Cheaper fix than I imagined

Sorry should say 02 sharan

I have an 20 sharan diesel that has done 55 k with the current cambelt. I had it serviced today and on collection they advise a new belt soon. Any idea how much this would cost in a garage ? Is it a straight forward job to DIY? I did the belt on my mk 1 tdi along with the water pump and found that was a pain so would rather get them to do it but it will depend on the cost

Sorry mate the cars gone to silverlake garage in botley, it had a recon turbo last year according to the paperwork. All I can suggest is give them a call

I used 2 stroke as an additive in my old di transit and found it ran quieter and smoother I used it cos it was free at the time Not used it in any shalaxys though( I'd have to buy it now)

Thanks for the replies.ill fit it tomorrow after work

I've got a towbar that's been fitted to my last four shalaxys which have all been mk1 I've just bought a mk 2 and wonder if it will fit Any ideas?

If I get time ill try to remove the pipes you want but not promising mate cos I've bought a mk2 that needs a bit of playing with Shame to scrap this one, I've only had it a week and its in good nick and runs lovely but I don't want to pay 500 for a clutch and flywheel when I can get back the money I paid for it by weighing it in The galaxy I scrapped last week went away with loads of bits stripped off it The turbo on the sharan is less than a year old so I might pull it off as a spare

Anyone near southampton want any bits from a sharan tdi free You will have to strip it yourself It died today due to flywheel/ clutch/ slave cylinder issues Shame really cos it drove far better than the last one, and the replacement I bought tonight Tyres are gone already

I'm in woolston southampton It's going on Saturday Come and get whatever you want from it
