I understand from reading the VW Self Study Program 564 document, that the 150hp engine is available in two models. The CXHA and the CXFA, the difference being the FA is fitted with a pair of balance shafts designed to iron out bad harmonics. Does anybody know why there are two different models...

Long, story short I’ve had to replace the engine in my T6 102 highline as the old engine killed itself (44k miles, and out of warranty). Anyway, I sourced a new engine a very low mileage CXG model and my mechanic has just fitted it. I made a slight mistake though, as it turns out the new engine...

My 2017 204 dsg is in at vw again trying to find a small but annoying engine rattle. It only rattles when under load. It does not do it when out of gear. Engine temperature makes no difference. It starts at 1700rpm and the rattle gets faster as the revs rise until the engine noise drowns out...

coolant, my coolant light intermittently flashes red. Coolant level looks ok when cold, but low when up to temp. When I leave it to cool and unscrew the cap the level fills back up! Temp gauge works ok and temp remains stable. What are the common faults? I still have VW warranty until...

Hi Guys Thought i'd mention a recent issue. 2016 caravelle Bi turbo 20K miles, and loss of some coolant. The warranty was up in 2 months so my ex-VW mechanic friend plugged it in and went over it with a fine tooth comb, listed all of the fault codes and called his mate in VW, booked it in and...
