I'm only guessing but your tailgate fouling mechanism/sensor is being activated as soon as it opens and then closing and then the tailgate is completely failing to respond? That indicates to me you probably have a controller issue ie check the wiring loom at the tailgate hinge for physical...

Welcome. We don't seem to get many complaints about premature DMF failure so it was probably done while the clutch was out so should all last longer than 80K, I'm pretty sure I'm on my first at 130K so I think you'd be unlucky if you had to. Don't forget the DMF is part reason why the diesel...

Unlikely when links are that old.

What's actually wrong with the tailgate, mine went wrong recently and it ended up being a simple fix however I ended up buying used closer unit when all I needed to do was unstick the external handle which was preventing the tailgate from closing properly. To check whether there is a broken...

I have stupidly chewed the micro screw holding the key fob together by not taking enough initial care, I can't imagine finding a screw extractor small enough for that. Battery is still ok for the time being but any ideas?

Answered: Put the battery on charge and the alarm started working, must be low because of the cold.

Yes, they're in the workshop manual download of which is in my signature. If you tell me exact model and age I'll see what I can do but I'm telling you now it's often a broken wire in the loom located around the tailgate hinge. Not always mind but do a search and you'll see.

Central locking works fine, just alarm system isn't engaging and no flashing red light in the dash. What's the quick fix please. New batteries for the fob for starters?

20's...ouch!! Roads are better in the U.S aren't they or they get their ***es sued. :)

Yeah just use an ad block extension on your browser like AdBlock Plus, beware though as there are loads of derivatives out there that claim to be free but aren't.

You can buy all sorts of products nowadays, fuel tank sealer, repairer etc. Not used any myself and usually a proper repair/ replacement would be preferable. If you can't get a replacement there are plenty men in sheds from the classic car world that'll fix it. After all a Mk6 is a classic nowadays.

As I mentioned in another thread make sure the tail gate handle isn't stuck.

Not sure if this is helpful but it helped me with my tailgate after I incorrectly diagnosed the faulty tailgate by replacing the locking mechanism. Can't remember the member who told me but make sure the tailgate handle isn't stuck as mine was as it wouldn't close automatically and led me down...

The only light on the powered tailgate I can think of is the one that backlights the tailgate close switch, that is under the bottom lip (on right hand side) of the tailgate so only accessible when it's open. Undo one screw and that should pull out with the actual connecting wires I think...

Did they change the release bearing?

Just a thought...jack the car up and put on axle stands, put in first or second gear and with some wheel speed turn steering from lock to lock a few times. The turning wheels will give the rack some increased lateral load without a full suspension load. If the rack is really damaged internally...

Mate, if you want some ***istance you better help us to be able to help you. What's the make, model and year of your car for starters? Is the rack electric or hydraulic? Pictures, video, sound file of fault or it's location. Where or how are you feeling this clunking or vibration because it...

Each to his own I suppose but it's more common nowadays to debadge your motor for a cleaner look. Know what I mean? ;)

Does the 8th gen still use a hydraulic rack, Honda have been known to use electric?

I just realised the front caliper wire springs are missing on mine, no MOT fail or excess movement or noise so what exactly are they supposed to do?
