Re: Exhaust joining piece clamp rusted through
The other red arrow is the particulate filter. Only found reference to this is one of the maintenance documents. The maintenance document for the 1.0tsi has a ton more stuff going on. Very weird. I think exhaust sleeve clamps without the dimple will work as well. The clamps on the VW part seem to be...

Re: Exhaust joining piece clamp rusted through
I guess need to look at where the 2nd O2 sensor is. I've never really checked.
I think that's just the resonator; after that is the 2 mufflers.
My exhaust is showing surface corrosion. Guess I should check the clamps at some point, but it's pretty dry here.

Re: Exhaust joining piece clamp rusted through
Most likely these clamps:
Items 3 and 4.
Speaking of exhausts...
How many cats on the CJZD?
There's the cat up top at the turbo, but what are these other 2 units? Resonators?

Re: 1.2 TSI Front Brakes and Suspension Queries
You can cut off the wear indicator wire from the pad. A loud metal-on-metal screaming noise is much more effective than a little "ding" noise from a warning buzzer. j/k :D Don't think you need to lift the engine to access the control arm bolts. I'd suggest new bolts though. I also need to ...

Re: AC evaporator cleaning question
From what I can see online, the leak is along the weld on the evaporator. I guess heat cycling will eventually get it. I haven't topped up charge on mine since I bought it in 2019 and the AC still works. Probably can do with a recharge as it's not as cold as I remember. I just want to get rid of som...

Re: AC evaporator cleaning question
LiquiMoly have one of these as well. Same application instruction. But looking at the spec the LM has a pH of 7.0 and this Wurth is 5.0. Not sure if that's gonna be a problem being slightly acidic. I just did a search for how to access the evaporator and wound up watching a removal procedure. Oh dam...

Re: AC evaporator cleaning question
I've seen them feed it into the air ducts as well. The instructions on Wurth's site say to feed it into the drain pipe. There are foam type cleaners that are used in the same way. Those seem to be more effective due to dwell time on the evaporator. Actually, Wurth have one like this, but I can sourc...

AC evaporator cleaning question
I have previously done the AC bomb thing in my 2017 6C. Just set off a can of disinfectant and shut the doors and let the AC run. I have a can of Wurth evaporator disinfectant/cleaner. This comes with a long hose to be inserted in the AC drain hose to get to the evaporator. 1320292.jpg The 6C doesn'...

Re: Retrofitting OEM footwell lights
So I was a bit confused. The footwell light mod I had seen was for a 9N. Might or might not be able to be done on a 6R or 6C. Here are links to posts, but not sure if anyone can get to them without registering and don't really want to copy someone's content directly: https://vwclub.co.za/forum/viewt...

Re: Retrofitting OEM footwell lights
I really need to see if I can find those details for doing these footwell lights where they run dimmer when the headlamsp are on until the doors are open.

Re: Retrofitting OEM footwell lights
I like the team-bhp site, but trying to register is a nightmare. They ask which is your favourite car and only list Indian ones. I didn't meet the grade.

Re: Retrofitting OEM footwell lights
Some people wire them into the dome light so that they're controlled by the same switch. Not very familiar with the wiring options on the 6C yet so not sure if they're controlled by BCM, but a hardwire to fuse box or dome light will work fine I think. I did someone do some weird stuff wiring them in...
