I have a '04 Touran (130ps TDi) with 15500 miles, and the front tires need replacing, already! Does any one else suffer tire wear like this on the Touran. The manufacture recommended tire pressure are a little high, and the wear Patten on my tyres is consistent with overinflation. I do a large amount of motorway driving, could this as cause the premature wear?

Hi - I posted a while ago about mk2 GTI poor performance. Since then I've replaced the tappets (vast improvement to engine smoothness and noise!), leads, plugs, 'cap and 'arm. I've got a problem. The car starts on the button, idles fine, but has this curious flat spot after about 1200 rpm, where it seems to be hunting, and then picks up about 3000rpm, where some but not all of the engine...

I have an 83 Westfalia. I'm losing coolant with no external visible indication. How can I determine or, if the Godz be with me, eliminate warped heads as the culprit? I don't have the white exhaust symptom. What other symptoms/indications can I expect? What is the troubleshooting procedure I should follow. TIA, Dave

Hi, I have a 2003 1.9 TDI SE.Its' only done 14000 miles. I was replacing the existing head unit with my own over the week-end. Now, when I turn the ignition just once pryor to starting the engine, i can hear a noise like a clock ticking over. I can't recall the noise being there before. I can't think what I could have disturbed to cause the noise (only replacing a head unit). I have tried...

My 2001 TDI with 74k miles is loosing power. The cruise control no longer maintains speed up hill.

We have a 1983 Rabbit built in the US plant. 1.7L gas engine with manual transaxle. Recently the oil pressure light has started coming on when the engine is cold when running at high RPM's. When you shift to the next higher gear it goes off, except in 4th when it comes on at about 50 MPH. After the engine warms up, the light doesn't cpme on anymore. I asumed that maybe the oil pick up screen was...

Hi all, I've been a corrado lover for a long time but now is the first time ive been able to afford one, so I've decided to go for the 1.8 16v for many reasons including insurance, performance, cost, mpg, and mainly because its suitable to my needs. Although i do think that as its the entry level corrado, i accept a lot of them will have seen better days. Anyway I'm asking fellow enthusiasts who...

Just aquired a 1.9 TDI Golf at the weekend and had my first relatively long runs out in it (~ 40 miles). On a couple of occasions the engine has cut out. This only seems to have happened when the engine had obviously warmed up fully. Is this indicative of any specific problems ? Can anyone offer some suggestions before I contact the seller so I can at least sound knowledgable ? FYI from receipts...

Hi folks. I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem to the one that reared its head a few days ago on my 1999 VW Passat. The drivers side rear door will not unlock, even manually. I am assuming the central locking device/motor for this door has died (or something) - and was interested to hear if anyone can advise me of cost etc of repair. Many thanks.

Anyone place these locking wheel nuts, I didn't get any 'unlockers' with the car and I need to get the wheels off (Obviously!!!!) http://homepages.nsoptimum.co.uk/timg/Pictures/Golf/46GA0040.jpg http://homepages.nsoptimum.co.uk/timg/Pictures/Golf/46GA0041.jpg Cheers Tim

My 1991 Audi 100 (A6 shape) 2.8 V6 is running rich at idle. It is fine at normal speeds as the fuel consumption is excellent - over 30 mpg on a run. But at idle it hunts and the exhaust smells of unburnt fuel. The hunting is worse when stationary in D (Drive); it is less severe (but still noticeable) in N (neutral). There is also some slight backfiring on the overrun. I have recently changed...

Hi An "ex" friend of mine put his oily f*$%&!g sunroof frame (we collected from the scrap yard) through the beige coloured interior roof lining of my beloved VW GTi (with sunroof) yesterday. He left me to discover it for myself this morning as I never noticed it yesterday. Although the hole is not very big, I am not very happy and want to know about replacing it. I know I can probably get...

Hello everyone, I have a VW Jetta GX with the black plastic front arch covers. Only problem is that one of them had to be ripped off, so I need to put it back. I don't want to drill and pop rivet (could create corrosion) I was thinking about gluing it back on?? Any suggestions for the type of glue to use? many thanks

Hello ppl, I have just bought my first golf, a '90 GTI 16v 4dr. I bought it very cheaply as it was a cat D write-off due to it needing a new drivers door (!!?) and the front bumper has a broken fixing bracket on the passenger side. In all other respects its an excellent car. A new battery and expansion tank hose have got it up and running without any hiccups. Regarding the MOT I dont...

Does anybody know if there are any differences in the rear differentials, other than the viscous coupling, between the golf syncro and the rallye syncro?
