Had read a story of someone with a polo, same problem, about same Year and miles aroun 40k, although out of warranty due to car age, and VW replaced it out of goodwill since it's a safety item and shouln't be goosed at 40k miles. Should think so - German engineeering anyone!

General Car Chat / VW Passat jamming seatbelt
« on: 31 August 2022, 07:32:43 »
Hi All

Just wondered if anyone has or had one of these cars, it's my brother's car (2014 plate) and the drivers seat belt is doing his head in, it keeps locking when he's trying to pull it on. He asked VW about a new seatbelt and they said they have them but are about 360 each just for the part, so problably 500 all in plus fitting.

I'm pretty sure this is one way i.e sealed unit and not able to fix. The VW garage said bring it in and they can check it, but imagine it's a new seat belt it would need.

Thanks

G

Should have a blue connector on it.

The CTS body is black. This is on the elite. Prety certain it was the same on the 2.6

I managed to source one ok.

Also it is plugged into the correct loom?

The purge valve has the same plug but runs a 12v reference not 5v.

Presuming that you mean the ecu temp sensor on the coolant bridge rather than the thermos witches on the radiator.

Aye, its the CTS on the coolant bridge.
Ecu or gauge?

The ECU one.

Whats wrong with the VX Grey stuff?, its certainly cheaper than the Loctite Sealents and I believe you get more of it.  :-\

I don't suppose you thought to ask Vauxhall...

No I never asked, was just going to go with the elring stuff I used for my sump, but not sure if it was a different type for the sump.

Omega General Help / CTS Number for 2.6/3.2
« on: 10 August 2022, 17:50:47 »
Hi

I know this has been asked probably a zillion times, but looking through the forum I'm seeing that the number recommended for the CTS is 90541937, however this number doesn't show up on the vauxhall parts catalog I'm looking in, if I filter on my VIN for either the 2.6 or 3.2 the number listed is: 90510493

Can't see that number anywhere in the forum. I've got a 90541937 here, a black one believing it would fit either engine. Just want to check if there is more to this or is that one ok after all?


Thanks

G

graphite powder is the reccommended lube for the actual barrel part but not sure if it would find its waythrough to the locking mechanism as its right at the far end so to speak.
i must admit thou that until i heard of graphite lube ive used wd or 3in1 on locks and barells for years and years and never had issues.i think they say it can attract dirt ?
if you want the steering lock to be fully operative it MIGHT mean pulling the barrel out and getting at it properly but no harm in trying lube first.

Stopped using WD once I realised it was washing out any grease and oil in the lock, only good for de-seizing, use that graphite powder now in locks, key slides in and out the 'ole nice (Said the actress to the bishop :y)

I read on here somewhere. Loctite SI 5660, is equivalent to Vauxhall grey sealant.

Thanks that looks suitable.

hi

Can anyone confirm the correct Elring gasket sealant I need for the oil cooler? I see on fleabay there is different coloured ones red/grey/black with all this technical mumbojumbo in the description, and not sure if there is a difference between them, if at all, or what one I need?

Thanks
