Thanks to those who replied to my post about this. Ended up with some Infinity 3002cf and 6402cf from www.planetaudio.co.uk - a *vast* improvement over the originals, which had more or less fallen apart after 16 years. Clear sound (slightly bright), goes loud and reasonable bass - not much can be expected from the speaker size as it is. I was hoping they'd be a straight swap, but the rears...

The lower of the 3 water pump bolts on my Mk2 Golf has snapped off in the block. I've tried drilling it out but failed due to the awkward angle. Does anybody have any ideas - ie other ways to remove the bolt , or whether it's possible to secure the pump another way eg with some kind of sealant or locking solution ? Thanks

I need a mass air flow sensor, vw price £273+vat ouch who is the cheapest vw parts supplier cheers Guy

Hi, I've been trying to get to the bottom of a lack-of-power problem with my Mk3 Golf GL TDi, and after replacing the air flow meter, a sticking cutoff valve and running some heavy duty diesel injector cleaner through it, still no luck. My local VW dealer claims the problem is with the fuel injector pump, and has quoted best part of £1300 for replacing this with a new one. I have done some...

Does anybody have some advice on overhauling a starter motor for a MK2 8v Gti Golf. Cheers Andy

I'm wanting a bit more poke out of my trusty 1.6 driver, I need to know if I can straight swap the std exhaust manifold for a free flowing aftermarket 1.8gti version.

My Wifes Polo 1.0 CL coupe' 'L' reg was smacked into by a hit 'n run - the drivers door is scrap - anyone got one or can give me a good supplier of such - 2nd hand considered if in good nick - esp if RED

This seems a rather odd one - sometimes when driving the Golf (Mk2 1300), the heater doesn't blow out hot air even when the engine is warm. Then the temperature creeps up further to critical levels forcing me to stop by the side of the road. A quick look under the bonnet reveals the fan going full pelt. Then, after restarting the car, tons of hot air is being blown out and the temperature...

A colleague of mine has a 'H' reg petrol 1.4 Golf (MKIII?) owned from new, which has just clocked up an unbeleivable 303,000 miles on original engine, clutch & gearbox. One thing he mentioned was that when the odometer rolled over from 299,999.99 it reset to zero. Has anyone else mad enough to run a Golf this long seen this 'feature'?

I have a 50,000 mile 2.5 ltr turbo diesel T4 camper van in generally good order, year 2000 or 2001. Yesterday I got a mile down the road and spotted blue smoke in my mirror. 1. Whether the engine is hot or cold the blue smoke does not appear for the first mile or so, although you can smell it at the exhaust. 2. My local garage suggest three possibilities, oil seals on turbocharger, on...

Hello, I'm not really sure but I think my 97 Golf, 1.8l, 8v with 224,000 kms is running too rich or something is wrong. Some symptoms: Tail pipe very black - When I clean it off, black comes back. Smell of exhaust - no exhaust leaks, just fixed them. Found previous owner gutted cat - Probably associated with exhaust smell? Low gas mileage - 400 kms a tank Plugs get fouled very easily - Just...

Hi all, I'm hoping to return to the VW world after an all too long absence :) I've found a Vr6, but it has 200k miles on the clock. Apparently at 130k it had a new head and lots of other stuff done, it's all fully serviced, but is it reaching the end of it's life? Or will it pull on for a while yet? Thanks! Dan
