2001 VW Polo SE 1.4 The passenger electric window is playing up, when you press the switch to lower the window as soon as you let go the window closes again, sometimes the window opens on its own, and sometimes it gets stuck down other times it works fine. The electric window switches on the passenger door and the one on the drivers door have been replaced, the spring and parts that are...

Rear washer jet on my 2001 Polo hasn't worked for months. The pump sounds healthy when it's triggered, but absolutely zilch appears on the rear windscreen. Tried unblocking the jet outlet on the rear wiper-blade arrangement, but to no avail. No obvious debris in the washer fluid tank, though it's difficult to tell what's at the bottom without removing it (which looks like it'll take...

Had a bit of prob with my G reg 1.6 Driver. Its taken to losing power at speed on the motorway.its as if the choke kicks to full, the fuel guage impersonates a leming and the only temp solution in the fast lane of rush hour traffic is is to dip the clutch and rev it HARD 'til it clears. I've been told there could be two probs, 1. hot air feed to the inlet has a valve that ocasionally can taken...

My 84 GTI 8V is leaking radiator water from the rear of the engine block. The leak is not from a blown head gasket, but seems to be coming out of one of a series of holes (indents?), about 4cm in diameter, below where the head joins the block. Anyone have any ideas where the water is coing from? Thanks Joncha

Hi all, I've been thinking of switching to a car that runs this stuff as an alternative to getting another TDi, so: Anyone got any views on this stuff? Does a conversion affect a car's reliablilty (Presuming it's a tidy conversion job)? What sort of performance hit do you get? Have people found it's worth their while? Thanks in advance,

Evening all I visited a friend in Gosport (Hampshire) this afternoon which allowed me to clear the cobwebs out of my mk3 1.8GL on the M3 and M27, which i think did it some good as i've only been doing short journeys of late. On my return up the M27 and M3 all was going well until i came off the motorway and drove at a steady 30mph, and after about 10 minutes of travelling at this speed...

Hi, I have recently bought a Mk3 Golf GL, and there seems to be a fault with the central locking. It has a tendancy to only work occasionally and when it is working if i then go and switch on the ignition and turn it off again it stops working? I have tested the microswitches on the doors by testing to see if they send a pulse to the pump in the boot, and both doors seem to work okay....

Hey, I have a silver 1999 Golf TDI which doesn't have the colour coded door handles (exterior), question is can they be got for the car and fitted with the same locks as on the car already, or can the locks be seperated from the black handle and put onto the colour coded one;s? If so does anyone know how long and how hard it is to do? also if someone knows a web site that would be great. Just...

Hey Guys and Gals, Hope you can help, I have a 1999 GOLF TDI, when I open the boot the light in the boot does not come on... I have used a multimeter to check if the bulb is getting power but it isn't, bulb isn't blown, question is where is the switch that controls that light??? I can't find it. Thanks Alan

Hi people, I have been the proud owner of a Corrado G60 for the past couple of months and I have had a smile on my face ever since......I really love this car!!! However, there is a minor niggle. When the car is cold everything is fine but when the engine warms up the speedo needle and rev counter needle flicker. Not all the time mainly when I indicate or switch something electrical. I assume...

I have a 1998 VW Passat TDI & carry out my own services, how can I reset the service interval indicator on the speedo??? Thanks in advance

I've just bought a 1991 1.6 golf driver (manual). The idle speed varies between 1250 revs and 2000 revs. Switching the lights, heated rear window etc can lower the revs by about 250 but it is still idling very high. I've checked the choke flap and it is about 1/4 open. The pushrod 3/4 point unit on the left of the carb is not making contact with the lever. I've also discovered that the...

I have just bought my first VW last week - its (mainly) for my wife, I have an Audi A4 (partly the reason that we stayed in the VW family when buying a second car). It is a MK4, 2000 (X) 1.6 SE. It has been religiously serviced by the only previous owner. There are 15,000 miles on the clock and there are reciepts for 4 VW services at approx 4000 mile intervals. I am very happy with it apart...

Hi, I have a 99 Golf TDi 110 which I'm happy with.. however, when I slow down, the engine starts 'yo-yoing' ie the revs are pulsing, even with the clutch in. Once the car has stopped, it ticks-over ok. Any ideas please? TIA Daz

Any tips for fitting this GSF Rad i just picked up to my Mk2 16valver... Cheers Dick

I had a 96 Sharan VR6 since January. One of the first things i noticed was, the power of the engine was wasted by revving way too high in 5th around 70mph, as if ready for a 6th gear. I took a closer look and found the gearing for 5th somewhat strange. Plotted it he http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bet.trojak/gearcurve/speed%20gear%20curve-Model ..jpg The solid lines are for petrol models and...

Hello, While waiting an eternity in my doctor's surgery this morning, I was flicking through an old copy of Practical Classics that happened to be there and it had an article comparing the Scirocco 'first v. last' It mentioned that it was originaly fitted with a 1083cc engine? If so, wa sit ever imported in to the Uk or made in RHD for any market? Nothing comes up on Google for Scirocco...
