I had recent problems with my washer when I discovered that my handbook wasn't much use for identifying fuses and that my VW Touran (06) seemed to be missing a sticker identifying the fuses next to the fusebox. (It was a mechanic at the dealer who told me that there ought to be one). I aked the main dealer about this and they've come back to me with the story that the Touran isn't supplied...

Hi all, Could anyone out there tell me how to reset the service indicator on my 01 Golf? Thanks in advance. CF

MkV Golf GTI 2005 Coming up to 24 month service. I got a grinding noise from the power steering just started... anyone know if this is common? ( not worried, as such, as it will be a warranty repair, if required) Not much of anything else to worry about other than that...anyone know of common problems I should get checked?

hi Can anyone tell me how to remove the internal trim panel from the driver's side door? I've managed to find and undo all the clips around the edge of the trim panel, but the door grab handle still seems to be well and truely secured. I tried carefully levering off what looks like a cover on the whole length of the grab handle but didn't get very far at all.

Any clues on how to undo the top carrier bolt? If I'm looking at the right bolt, it's hidden away under a bracket for the brake line, and is very difficult to get to. And any other tips on changing the disks would be nice - did I ought to change bearings whilst I'm at it?

On my 98 golf tdi the remote central locking has started to play up. It works ok for a while and then the remote fails to respond so I have to use the key. After a while the remote will then work ok again and then will not fail again until probably the next day. Vw dealer advised me to try new batteries (not cured fault) then said to try a new key and remote so I paid £147 for the new one. The...

Hi, Last week someone kindly decided to break the passenger side wing mirror on my Golf, the whole thing is cracked - glass and casing (I hope he gets the 7 yrs bad luck). Is this an easy fix - can I just get a replacement from a breakers or will I need to take it to a repair shop? Thanks for any tips

My 06 2.0 tdi Touran has developed an electrical problem with the wipers. Ths morning, the washers stopped working and the rear wiper started working intermittantly even when it was switched off. Suspecting some computerised electrical gremlins, I got the main dealer to have a look at it. After half an hour they said it was just a blown fuse and I was kicking myself for not having checked...

I contacted a local garage a couple of weeks ago about a cambelt & brake fluid change on SWMBO's Lupo Sport 16V (AFK 100bhp engine). I don't have the time or facilities to do that myself, and it's overdue really- the car has only done 40k miles but is 7 years old. The fluid has been changed before, but not in the last 3-4 years. The alarm bells rang slightly when they insisted that there's...

Hello NG. I just bought a beat up Golf GTD from 1988 (maybe 1989 model) The color is blue metallic. There is no servicebooklet. And the sticker in the back off the trunk is also gone. Can anybody point me to a site where i can compare my cars color with some pictures or color charts. I'm shure it is a standard color for the GTD off this year. Greeting from Denmark. Michael

Hi all, got a problem with an 02 reg Polo SDI, with the rear fog lights being permanently on. Both sides, as soon as the side lights go on the fogs go on full. The brake lights work fine, and the light to turn on the rear fogs turns on the tell-tale light on the dashboard, but makes no difference to the lights being shown on the rear of the car. Is this a common problem, any ideas where to...

Hi all, yep, I`m having bad luck with cars at the moment :-) My Passat has suddenly started leaking a clear liquid from the front nearside. In the course of 10 hours it`s dripped about half a tea spoon full, but obviously any fluid leak is bad. The leak is coming out underneath the windscreen washer fluid bottle, but could also easily be coming from a pipe to/from the radiator - it`s...

Ho easy of a job is this to do to a mk4 golf? Contemplating doing the job myself as local place want 300 quid. The parts only cost about 70 quid and my time is free :) ... also have vag com to enable it now.

Hi, I have a P reg MK3 golf D. Lovely car, immaculate inside and out. only problem is the lack of power. Now I used to have a straight D a while ago and this car seems to have less power in the 3000rpm and above range. So my question is this.. anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the engine to a TD? if so what kind of work would be involved?.

Hello, Has anyone removed the rear side trim panels in one of these cars, I'd like to fit rear speakers but can't work out where to start to get these panels off, don't just want to start pulling and damaging them. Do the rear seats need to come out ? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Borrowed a Golf Plus 105bhp curtesy car while the Golf was in the garage having the rear electric window fixed. The Plus doesn't look too exciting and the 105bhp is a bit like a wet lettice. The dashboard appears very high. If you like big hats you shouldn't have a problem wearing it whilst driving the Plus. JB

Specifically, I'm in dire need of the plastic pins that fit into the bumper hangers on 90 spec onwards golfs (and probably MK3s, and any other VAG car from this era, as I've lost a couple. And a rear quarter panel moulding for a 90 spec MK2 GTI (3 door) for the driver's side. Reply address is valid.
