Mk5 Golf 1.9 Diesel Match by
Jon
Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any experience of the above car? I'm looking to order
one but would like owners / drivers thoughts before going ahead.
I had a MK4 TDi which I loved but any additional help / advice would
be appreciated.
Thanks,

Driving on the right by
David A Smith
Hi All,
I hope to take my '06 B6 Passat to Bordeaux during the summer and would like
to avoid blinding the foreign drivers with my RHD Left dip headlights. I
notice that though they aren't asymmetric like all previous lights they
still appear to be biased to the left.
The drivers hand book isn't too helpful, just suggesting a visit to my
dealer!
Ha! Just been to my dealer and its an into...

caravelle t4 timing belt by
Keith Barrett[_2_]
Just collected the caravelle from the local garrage after some work.
They have pointed out from the service record that the last time the
timing belt was changed was in 2003 fifty two thousand miles ago.
They told me they would not want to do the work but that vw charge about
£500.
So, are there special tools required or could I find another garrage
that is not a VW dealer to do this?

Can I determine when Passat needs servicing? by
Dave[_6_]
We have a Volkswagen Passat 2.o litre sport (petrol, 2002) which has
done a little over 80,000 miles. It was purchased recently used and a
family member paid for it to be serviced, although a friend of his took
it to the garage. We have no record of this, so don't know who serviced
it, if they did, or what they did.
From what I I have read of the manual, it appears the car tells you
when...

CD/radio code unknown - but working OK by
Dave[_7_]
We have a Volkswagen Passat 2.0 litre sport (petrol, 2002) which has
what I believe are the original CD/radio (mutli-changer takes about 5
CDs). We bought this used and don't know the code for the radio. Whilst
it works OK now, clearly removing power from the battery would cause
problems. Would a VW dealer be able to supply the code? The car is
registered in my wifes name.

Passat, water in footwell by
baldiebill
My 2001 Passat 1.9 turbo deisel has huge amounts of water entering the rear
footwell from the warm air vent under the drivers seat. I cannot find where
it is getting into the heater system. Is there a drain hole on the bulkhead
under the bonnet anywhere which may be blocked or can anybody help with
advise.

Mk 4 Golf TDI 90bhp performance question by
Angus Manwaring
Hi guys,
My new (to me) Golf TDI 90 bhp, that I was initially led to believe was
100 bhp, but isn't, seems to be pretty flat performance wise.
I'm not a boy-racer, and mostly drive in an economical manner, but does
the flollowing sound wrong to you?
Although the car is quite nippy (by my lowly standards) at low speeds and
low revs, in a faster situation its a different story. Even a slight hill

Golf Mk2 Noises ... by
Rob[_4_]
Recently returned to the fold after a spell with a Leon Cupra, and got a
very nice one owner 1990 8V GTI. Bodywork is mint but mechanically it
feels a little tired. Does anyone know what these noises might be:
1. Rubbing noise coming from the front of the car, and sounds like the
noise you get when driving over painted sections of road, with a slight
vibration coming into the car. Does it...

James[_2_]
I've been pondering on buying some kind of induction kit and this one seems
a fair price and I read good things about it. Also adds a nice tone to the
engine.

hose name? by
Ears
'90 Golf 8v
I had a rough running problem and the car was stalling at
intersections and starting hard.
I replaced the coolant temp. sensors to no avail.
Upon closer inspection I discovered a giant tear in a hose. It's the
air hose at the highest point on my motor- on top of the valve cover-
it's larger in diameter on one side and travels from a plastic

VW keys: retrieving your SKC? by
JB
Does anyone on here have a copy of VAG-Tacho or any other tool capable of
retrieving the SKC (secret key code) from my T4? I have VAG-COM and so I can
code the new keys to the vehicle, but if only I had the SKC code. I believe
this is only the older 4-digit code as it is a '97/98 vehicle with the
passive transponder in the key. VW are obviously no use at all.
Thanks,

Golf CL Umwelt diesel estate (1998) pulling to left by
Mandie @k@ Zepherous
The car has pulled to the left since I got it over a year ago but has
recently got worse,
if I let go of the wheel while positioned to drive straight it sharply veers
to the left.
Never got round to investigating as too busy keeping up with the overheating
and the car killing thermostats
I have had the tracking done with no change, the tyres are all good and same
size etc.

my "new" Golf Mk 4 by
Angus Manwaring
Hi all,
I've just got this Golf Mk 4 TDI SE 100 which was quite a big purchase for
me, and so forgive my excitement.
I feel a bit of a traitor getting rid of the '94 Mk 3 which has been a
good friend, but I think it was the sensible thing to do, with the leaking
crank case seal and so on.
Anyway, all seems well so far (touch wood) but the stereo is pretty much

FS: VW Polo (6N) Heated Washer jet by
Doki
I bought this in the hope that it's the same fitting and size as the heated
jets for my MK2 Golf. It's not.
If anyone wants it, they can have it for the £4.50 I paid for it. Genuine VW
bit, £12 so at a dealer.

Oil leak and belt contamination Mk3 Petrol. by
Angus Manwaring
Hi all,
My '94 Golf 1.8 petrol (Mk 3) has been leaking oil over the last couple of
weeks, and I got a chap to have a look at it today. He thinks the problem
is behind the the cam belts covers, on the left of the engine as you look
at it.
His garage contact told him there is an oil thingy (valve?) behind it
which tends to leak, and he'll fix it. But the oil has got on to the belts
and they...

Heavy Clutch? by
DekHog
My daughter has what she describes as a 'heavy' clutch - women talk!
What she actually means is the clutch pedal has suddenly went from
being easy to depress to being much harder and stiffer to move - it
was ok all day, then she parked it up for a couple of hours and when
she went back to it this is the way it was - can anyone throw some
light on what this might be for me?
TIA
