Another small job ticked off today, the car had a Racing line R600 intake on it when we bought it the red intake hose had always felt out of place since changing a lot of accents to the copper colour.

It had been rubbing on the engine cover also. Damage only looks to be cosmetic but its enough for me to warrant changing.

Replaced with a black hose this time looks more standard and fitted correctly doesn't rub.

If anyone wants a red slightly used R600 intake hose let me know

Red one looks like its for another MQB car to be honest - is there a part number on it?

I'd thought it was whatever way who ever had fitted it had twisted it on, no part number on it unfortunately.

First issue popped up with the car over the weekend.

"Error instrument cluster contact workshop".

Everything still works bar the ticking sound when you use your indicators and a small error message on the centre MFD. MOT soon and doubt it'll pass with it showing.

From reading up the only fix is a new instrument cluster and software update FFS so looking like a dealer only fix.

Anyone recommend a good Seat/VW main dealer over here?

 

[Boydie]

have you cleared it and does it come back?

Doesn't clear with OBD11 unfortunately. Seems to be a common problem over all Golf/Leon platform from what I've read.

Vcds able to clear better?

Don't know if it would or not bud OBD11 has always done what I needed it to.

Don't have access to VCDS either, going to disconnect the battery and let it sit over night doubt it'll do anything but it's the last thing I can try lol.

Have you tried Daryl at VW Audi Repair Centre on the Templepatrick line is brilliant and well worth a phone call and hopefully save you a few £.

I haven't actually, guys on the Facebook owners group lead me to believe it was a dealer only job. But will give them a shout on Monday

Well lads, update on the cluster fault. Spoken with Seat who said basically it would need a new cluster and coded at the guts of £1100.

So I thought **** that I'll have ago at sorting it myself and I've only gone and done it fully fixed and code gone for a £25 eBay purchase.

Basically with the ticker not working on the indicators and other sounds not coming from the cluster I went and bought a used cluster from eBay off a 1.6 tdi Leon. stripped it down and removed the speaker. Pics below.

Done the same with my cluster and fitted the used one to it, plugged back in and error is gone. Everything working as normal!! So happy lol

 

[Boydie]

What a win - I would ring Seat and tell them to shove their £1100 up their holes

Result!!
