Looking at the pic again it will be above passenger airbag so yes they will be right at it which is a bit of a result as labour would be pricey if they had to do it otherwise.

I'd think the wiring will be a mirror image for LHD , not sure if they take the dash out as that would be a big job and the passenger airbag should be removable without that but maybe it isn't.Its an all day job or mine was anyway.
Hope it's sorted soon anyway

It's probably just a wheel bearing , should be easy to find once off the ground and it's very hard to pinpoint in the car .

Well its one of those problems that is going to be a right pain but I hope you can get it sorted , its rarely as simple as the seller makes out otherwise they would have fixed it already

I'd hazard a guess due to the part being in backorder it's a common enough issue , volkswagen had the same in the passat around 2015/16, they said it was alloy corrosion but it's well known to be a bag of fine crystals they put in the expansion tank rupturing with age and blocking the matrix. No ...

It clearly wasn't an issue either to last 7 years which is a very decent battery life

I'd wonder why it even needed 6 injectors. It's the rear 2 can get wet and play up. 4k is about the money now for that age .

Wow that is nasty surprised it's been still running , when I did look at mine recently I found quite a bit of white oxidation but nothing like that, is there any water getting in although its that spare wheel has been put in there damp might have caused it .There are apparently some earth's on the ...

Welcome back nice car

Its soot thats regeened, ash is there forever and slowly builds till its full .

For what it's worth I don't have a single working heater plug now and my 2009 sd regens just fine. .The thermostats are important though so good you have changed those.I think it's too risky to try removing my heather plugs now when they are not causing any issues , they are possibly more an issue ...

Is it code 452A not 425A ? which is dpf predicted life end , , a warning appears on the dash soon after startup.for a few secs. .It usually appears around 160k and doesn't cause any issues apart from being annoying.

Guess there must be a lot of claims with electric cars or the claims are bigger due to the high cost of repair .Time to move for sure though

Dragged it in now by towrope lol , glad they have their best man on it

Need to but cant be bothered just yet
