Both my daughter and wife have Polo,s and experience the same problem. When we get a sharp frost the front doors will not open,they both resort to getting in via the rear doors ,clamber into the drivers seat and away they go, not what you want first thing in the morning !!but hey. I don't mind the gymnastics but am concerned what would happen if they needed to get out in a hurry. I have tried the...

Hello David. 29 Nov 03 18:45, Chris 159 wrote to you: I have a 1989 VW Golf Mk 2 1600 Automatic. Recently I have noticed that C the interior light, dashboard lights and radio display undulate a few times a second. That is to say that the intensity varies noticably, getting brighter then darker. This effect seems to be unaffected by engine speed. I guess this is some...

Hi, I have a 1998, VW polo, 1.0 petrol, the suspension / steering geometry is out, I replaced the steering rack and the drivers side wishbone, driveshaft, and suspension strut!, when I drive the car, the steering doesn't feel right, what should I do, can this be corrected by myself? Thanks. Simon

I couldn't be bothered with the complicated fuel filter change on an injection engine so i paid £54 for a garage to do it for me, mk 3 golf does that sound about right? £27 for the bosch filter.

Hi I was away for the weekend last Saturday and at the beginning of a 200mile journey we noticed the passenger side dip headlamp was not working. Everything else was fine. I assumed it was a bulb and bought one on Tuesday, unfortunately the local car accessory shop sold me the wrong one! Before I had a chance to replace the bulb the drivers side dip headlamp stopped working too! The next day I...

Have you heard of www.motorflirt.com? Its a brilliant site for meeting people. If you see someone in a car, you can text them a message using their number plate direct to their mobile phone. I met a few birds and took them out for a drink. Check it out, its free You can also search their database and send them a message. The good thing about it, nobody knows who you are, them birds that i met...

Hello everyone. I have a 93 passat VR6 and when I turn the steering wheel left or right I get a clunking noise from the front end. It does it when I am driving slow and turning fairly sharp and when I am at a stand still and turn the steering wheel from left to right. I was wondering if anyone knows what might be causing this or what I can do to fix it. If anyone has any feed back please...

Wanted Golf Tdi,around the 6000 7000 pounds mark. Anybody help me out? Cheers.

i've had my fuel filter changed on my golf 96, it hasn't worked to fix the problem of my car losing power, its like its got no injection anymore and accelerates at a slow pace. Then the injection kicks in and it jumps. I'm wondering if its the fuel pump now as that comes before the filter and so maybe clogged?? This is after i ran the tank into the red and car started jumping.

A couple of weeks ago my '99 Golf Estate TDi just turned itself off - dials went to zero and oil light came on. It did the same again today, within about 400 yards of the same place in Bristol from the opposite direction, luckily while waiting at traffic lights. Turning the key to restart a couple of times did no good, but setting the immobiliser and unsetting it allowed an immediate restart. ...

I'm taking my Golf MKIII off the road for 6 months, during which time it won't be garaged, hence I'd be interested if anyone could recommend a particular type\brand of Car Cover. Also any other tips with respect to "mothballing" would be appreciated.

Any information on the new spec for 2004 model Passats in the UK? something must be changing as dealers are shifting stock with 0% finance I guess there'll be new colours, and possible 2.0 litre PD diesel. I have been told that in the US the 1.8T gets 170bhp and 4-motion New model B6 end of 2004 early 2005 any more info

I'm thinking of fitting a Bluetooth car kit to my 2002 Golf. They're not a lot more than a simple BT headset and would make using the phone in the car properly legal. Any advice on how to link it to the loom to get power, integrate with a Pioneer headunit and use the cars speakers? Secondly, the golf appears to have space for a microphone next to the interior lights. Is there a mic and...

Ever since I serviced my partners golf (late Mk3 P reg 1.9TDi) and change the air, fuel and oil filters and oil, the engine dies whilst driving. There seems to be no pattern (sometime when hot , sometimes when cold) The one clue was that when servicing it I noticed the braided tube/wire/ cable ? that comes from the alloy air manifold casting at the rear of the engine (almost directly...

I have a 1992 Mk3 Golf 1.8 Auto. The oil pressure warning light and buzzer sound shortly after moving off (only when moving). The car is quite happy to start-up, idle and be revved at standstill without the warnings. The sensor resets itself after the engine is switched off then restarted, only to restart after being in motion for a short time. We have checked the oil pressure, all appears to...

Hi peeps. Golf GTI 8V 1996 year. ADY engine code (i.e., it's not digifant). As the heading suggests, it doesn't idle when cold. Any ideas? Cheers! T.A.

Anyone have any idea what the approximate cost is to replace the heater core in a '89 Golf GL if I get a rebuilt core (parts and labour)? Tkx Paul

If an engine is losing coolant because exhaust gases are leaking into the water jacket and overpressurising the system, would you expect this to happen *every time* the car was driven, or could it be an intermittent problem? Further to my query elsewhere about my VR6 coolant loss problem, I've just taken the car for a spin to warm it up, then watched it idle for about 20 minutes, and the water...

Can anyone tell me what the maximum permitted towing weights of those two vehicles are, in the UK? I've had a look at the official VW UK site, and the info may well be there somewhere, but if it is, I can't find it. Ta, in advance. -- David

Hi, I am after a small camper van - ideally something that will not require a massive amount of mechanical work. Cosmetics are not too much of a concern. Up to £5000 - I am based near Peterborough. Cheers, Joe
