@@neildonohoe106 hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Glad the vid helped out👍

@@АндрейВ-х9ц Thanks for watching and commenting. There's loads of these on eBay which is where I bought mine and they're pretty cheap prices at the moment. If you type in the following you'll find them on eBay:- New Breather Hose Valve Fits AUDI VW A4 Avant A6 Passat 06B103211H,06B103211J. Good luck and hope it goes ok. I suggest taking off the whole air intake so you can push it down hard enough to put the retainer clip back in.

@@dandantherepairmanthank you very much! I’ll try to find it👍 A few mechanics refused to repair it, that’s why I decided to sort it myself 😂

@@АндрейВ-х9ц no problem. I hope it goes ok. I don't know why they wouldn't want to do it, it's not that difficult on this model. One other thing I just thought of, if you do take the whole air intake off, it's a good idea to have a spare dipstick tube because they can be tricky and break off as the plastic becomes brittle over time.

@@dandantherepairman okay, thanks for the advice, I’ll try to make it gentle 👍

@@uselink581 thank you for watching and commenting 👍

@@timpala5841 Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. That was very lucky!. I'm glad I made the video now, it's good to know it helped out👍

@@paulstapleton8552 thanks for watching and commenting

@@bittertruth6575 Sure is, but try getting the multi meter tips on the contact sides of the LED without taking off the lens😉 that's why I prefer my method as you can more easily scratch through the surface paint to the copper beneath with pins. Good point though...cheers👍

@@DavidMills_Physicist thanks for watching, glad the video helped👍

@@eaglestrikes1 Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Always glad when it helps someone out👍

@@dieseldawg7132 Hi, thanks for watching. So on my vehicle the hex bit is 14mm to undo the centre hub bolt from the driveshaft. Another viewer disagreed as he said on his it was 17mm but I can only say on my model, it's definitely 14mm. Worth measuring first if you're not sure as I imagine VW might have used different sizes or types on different models.

@@dandantherepairman thanks yea I tried the 14mm the other day n was a bit small also had the 17mm, ended up driving to the shop just to get it since I didn’t have one at home I am working on a tdi Passat 2016. I’m needing to do. A turbo replacement and of course alot of things need to come down from the bottom….

@@dieseldawg7132 ah yes, I expect that'll be a fairly big task. Mines a 2.0 petrol so no turbo to worry about luckily. I find it's very beneficial to have a range of large hex bits, triple square bits and torx bits to work on these vdubs, you never know what surprise bolt types going to appear next lol. Good luck, hope it all goes smoothly 🤞

@@55jiggy Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I'm pleased the vid helped out👍

@@micmictover1420 hi, thanks for watching. So the 3 bolts that hold the downpipe to the middle pipe, I was lucky in that they undid fairly easily. I did use penetrating fluid first though to make it easier. Give them a good soak and give it time to work in, also could use some heat maybe. It's a hard to reach spot under there so if you can't loosen them, would have to figure a way to cut them off. Best of luck with it 👍. Hardest part is trying to counter hold the bolt while you're on the other side doing up the nut, I wished I'd had a second person really.

Thanks for watching and the positive comment 👍

Hi, thanks for watching. Unfortunately I don't know what that part number was because I fixed the existing part. I would go by the model number printed on the label if it's still visible and do an internet search on it, as long as you find one compatible with that model, it'll be fine. Should be fairly available since they are very brittle and prone to breaking. I hope that helps 👍

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. It was something I did quite a long time ago now so unfortunately I don't remember any of the sizes. I just had a piece of clear thick plastic lying around that was sturdy enough to stay flat to pull the water upwards but flexible enough to bend to let it drop back down through the water in the tank. It was the kind you usually get in garden centers for covering plants etc (which is exactly where it came from). All I did was draw around the bad one with a marker as a template and cut it out with scissors. Still working ok three years later so does do the trick. Best of luck with it and hope it goes well.

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I imagine a lot are mostly universal but of course some manufacturers will have used their own designs too so will be a case of careful looking and logical thinking to figure out, I hope it works out ok🤞

​@@dandantherepairman Many Thanks

Hi, thanks for watching. The only places I'd imagine would be eBay, maybe Amazon or of course garden tools and equipment shops. Would have to do a bit of online searching I reckon. Good luck with the search, hope you find what you need🙏👍

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Oops, you have to be so careful not to run over the cables and of course very lucky you didn't get a shock!. I'm glad if the video helps out and good luck with it but do please exercise caution and be safe when working with mains voltage electricity 🙏👍

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting, it's a pleasure to have helped👍

Interesting, must be a different engine maybe, I expect there's some variations. Thanks for watching.

Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. I'm really pleased that the video has helped out🙏👍

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad it helped out🙏👍

Hi and thanks for watching. It is certainly a messy job but all I used was a big roll of kitchen roll tissue paper and it did the trick to wipe off all the old grease. No real need for any cleaner, just wipe it off and the metal underneath will be shiny clean.

Hi and thanks for watching. I'm glad if it came in handy. I often rely on vids to find them too because they can be very well hidden sometimes.

Hi, thanks for watching. You're right, that would definitely be a stronger repair. I would probably have used the hot glue gun if I hadn't run out of glue sticks at the time but the tape held up good overall.

Hi, thanks for watching. They're pretty cool how they're put together. I'd still like to try and refurb the other one I've got.

Hi, thanks for watching, always glad if it helped👍

Hi, thanks for watching, I'm really pleased the vid helped you save it, excellent 👍

Hi and thanks for watching. I'm really glad the video helped out. I know just what you mean, I also still find people's videos out there can be really useful sometimes especially when I'm doing bits I haven't tackled before 👍

Hi, thanks for watching. I can't say I'm 100% sure how that part actually operates. I know there's a few electronic components inside it. It might be that it becomes heated and the voltage changes are read from the cooling of that plate by the air flowing over it but I could be wrong. I'm sure someone will comment who knows for sure🤞

@@dandantherepairman thanks for the help

Hi there, thanks for watching 👍

Hi and thanks for watching. Sometimes those security torx screws are used but pretty easy to get those torx bits these days luckily. Good luck with it🤞👍. There is another video on my channel which might also be helpful, it shows a similar repair of the lever that had snapped. I used a 2 part resin which worked quite well to fix it.

Hi and thanks for watching, it always makes my day to know if the video helps out, brilliant 👍

Hi, thanks for watching. If I ever get another one to fix then I'll try and mention it. It's supposed to pop back out when you let go of the lever so maybe the spring behind the switch has slipped or popped off👍

Thanks for watching, glad if it helped out👍

Hi and thanks for watching. That's brilliant, it's great when people throw stuff out sometimes because quite often they have no idea how to fix or simply can't be bothered which is such a waste. It's great to fix and repair, saves money and means one less going in the refuse. Hope all goes well with the repair, I'm sure it'll go smoothly 👍

That's brilliant to know it helped, thanks for watching 👍

Hi and thanks for watching. It's always great to know when it's helped out👍

Thanks for watching. Fingers crossed for you 🤞. Please do be safe though working with electric 😉👍

Hi and thanks for watching. If it helped that's brilliant 👍

I found a pretty cheap one on eBay for this, glad they're not so hard to find now👍

Hi, thanks for watching. Yes I think over time they just dry out and seize up. I was thinking the same when I took this one apart that it definitely looks like copper grease in there. I've still got a seized one to try and fix when I get round to it👍

@@dandantherepairman i would not bother as when they go it can cause allot of damage sometimes, i picked up a new INA for £24.50 vw want £162 for the exact same make lol, its not worth the hassle
