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...

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.

My passat will not start. No lights come on but the engine turns over. Sometimes with a stroke of luck the lights come on and starts. Has anyone had this before?

Got a new one from VW. The gasket between the two parts of the waterpump (which has arrived fully assembled and bolted together) - should it be left as it is, or taken to bits and sealanted? And I've missed the rebate period by a week? Anyone offering odds?

I bought a Bora a while ago. It's a TDI 130 Sport with a Tiptronic auto box. I have a problem with the delay that exists when it pulls away. There are no revs at all for a second or more and then they come in. It's not turbo lag, it's simply revs, nothing. It doesn't happen all of the time, only most. Any ideas, anyone? -- Kind regards Graham Holloway
