MOT Failure advice

[tony_ack]

Where did you take it?

[JMallows]

Could it be that someone has wired in the extra one on your car, and the RHS one has blown, leaving just the LHS illuminated, which would be a fail even though there is one illuminated?

[walchy01]

Maybe.... not got the test sheet to hand so cant advise which side was marked as a failure as its at the garage getting sorted

[dadrathers]

I have had a B3, B4, B5 and now a B6 Passat and none of them have had two rear fog lights. I believe it is pretty standard across the VW range to only have the one. So if your (offside) one is working then it is definitely not a fail.

Its only a fail if its on the wrong side fella one works PASS!

Got the mechanic to do the MOT failure bits and the front platic water elbow on front of engine as it was leaking a little, not much little dribble but want it right Should be back all sorted Monday for a re test and another 12 months of free motoring If only ey boys

had my mot today on the valver annnnnnnnnnnd.
It flew through with one notoration and that was,small chip on windscreen!  not bad for a 22 year old car!

Makes life a bit easier when it flies thru pal with no real issues, aaah well... if the previous owners would have done alot of the basic stuff i think my life would have been made much easier over the past 2 years
At least i know everything i replace for genuine parts is a step in the right direction, makes things easier to keep your eyes on when the whole car has had new replacement parts added in my 2 years of ownership
Cost's me money to keep it going, but i will tell you one thing, i would not be without it

Please can someone advise me if the MK2 has 2 rear fog lights, i was under the impression that they only have 1

It's just that it failed on this

Thanks

Shocked they dont actually know that when they test cars all day

well if you the owner doesnt know when you would be doing a weekly / monthly lighting check

then an mot tester, who if you think about it wont see a MkII that often these days might not be sure.

just me,  ok

trust me buddy ive had the car 9 years now and it's taken me this long to get it to a standard where it flys through an mot,I'd hate to think what it's cost me over that time,but like you I wouldn't be without the old girl,keep on at it ull get there in the end, nothing that's worth doing is ever easy.
