Volkswagen Golf VI: Electrical malfunction of lights and hazards TDI MK6

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 08:50:09 -0700

I'm going to do a multimeter test. But my lights all are showing up as our. As well hazards will run.

I'm going to check fuse box as well. I just put a dry cell AGM battery in and wonder if I possibly overloaded the fuse in doing so

Intermittently the signal lights will run fast like they have burnt out or will just turn on on rear turn signal and instead of flashing it just stays on without flashing.? Any more ideas?

Volkswagen Golf VI: 2010VW Golf mk6 Instrument cluster board component identification help

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 11:50:53 -0700

Hi Guys,

A bit frustrated, having trouble finding schematics for 2010 vw golf mk6 instrument cluster. Not powering on at all so trying to find fault. Need help identifying some components.

This component has numbers printed on top: R527A and some sort of symbol like a C with lines through it. What is it? How do I find it on Digikey? Photo bellow:

Here is a photo of the whole board:

Trying to follow the pin thats supposed to supply power to it. It seems I am not getting a reading at all in diode mode. There is something wrong along that line. Finding it really hard with no schematics or board-view to help follow it along.

If anyone has any advise or prior repair knowledge of a newer no power instrument cluster repair would be more than appreciated. Am really stuck. Here is a photo of the other side of the board:

Also could not find this mosfet?? Marking on top is 24C64WQ K022P

Like I said main problem is no power at all

Any help? Thanks everyone ;) ( would be so much easier with board-view)

Volkswagen Golf VI: Hatch Lock triple square bolts

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 20:19:13 -0700

To replace failed hatch lock mechanism, need to remove two “Triple Square” (12-point) bolts that attach lock to hatch panel. Videos say use an MM8 bit but it’s too large, MM6 bit is too small. Cannot find an MM7 in any set or anywhere on internet - if it exists??

Since hatch lock replacement is a common problem, has anyone dealt with this issue?

Hello, I have a 2011 Volkswagen Golf manual, that I can’t get to start. I don’t think it’s the starter as we’ve tap tested it & it didn’t work. But when we tested the cabled that leads from the battery to the starter it reads as a very low volt. Could someone tell me what and where (&how) to test the next item.

Volkswagen Golf VI: What is this rusty componect on the board of the odometer? Resistor?

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 19:32:51 -0700

Had some water damage in my odometer so pulled it apart, cleaned the board with isopropyl. But found two or three components that where rusty and looked gone. But had no luck finding them on digikey to order and replace.

Not sure what they are?? Any help would be appreciated.

Tried searching for a schematics for the unit (5K0920871) with no luck at all. So any help would be good.

Cheers

Volkswagen Golf VI: Why is there oil in my intake system plus fault code P0222

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 04:41:43 -0700

2012 golf 1.2L 77tsi - manual.

I've had a few problems lately.

First off the EPC light was coming on after about 10min of driving and reset after restart. Then got to the point of on permanently. feels like car is lacking in power when the EPC kicks in. It's hard to get above 3000 RPM

Scan shows fault code P0222. (Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'B' Circuit Low)

Removed Throttle body to investigate and found about 250ml of oil in the intake plenum and oil spattering back up into the charge pipe. (that was not expected)

Inspected PVC valve and was faulty.

Replaced PCV and Crank case breather.

Cleaned Throttle body and removed oil from plenum.

Car ran well for about ten minuets then EPC again.

Also now the AC blower has stopped working. I have a new resistor on the way. ( Suspicious timing on the one )

Serviced the car and new battery installed.

two days of short trips to work and back 15km round trip. with EPC kicking in each way.

Removed the Throttle body and found more oil in intake plenum again. ( Thought the new PCV would have fixed that)

Anyone had any similar symptoms.
