Indicators by sonya.evans
Hi there, I've got an 02 Mk4 Golf, the problem is when the indicator stalk returns to off on completion of a turn it very occasionally flashes the opposite light on the dash. I've have the springs on the stalks strengthened to no avail and had the whole stalk assembly replaced under warranty. Anyone out there heard of this happening?

GTI dashboards? by Richard Kilpatrick
Hi, just dropping in from one of the other uk.cars groups. I've got a question about my Golf GTI. It's a 1990 Mk II 5dr with big bumpers, and appeared to be reasonably original. I'm a little suspicious of it now, as I'd been going to sell it, and I've discovered the speedo is wrong! The rest of the dash seems correct - the rev counter redlines at 6.250, the MFA computer is right, the...

Bought a new VR6 and have a few questions by John Lucas
Have just bought a VR6. It has 127k so was cheaper (I think) at £3300. Had to put a radio on it and a new alarm system as the old immobilsier had been bridged out. I'm happy with the car, but I think it is misfiring at some point, it sounds a bit 'up and down' at higher revs. Any ideas, and where should I get it tuned etc? Is there a Haynes manual for the car? I read a posting that said there...

Golf IV Dash Lights. by Gussie Finknottle
To save me looking a 'T' at the dealership,... please could someone check to see whether the manual aircon dials in the centre console of an '02 1.8T should be backlit. Thought mine used to be,... but they're not now. Also,... if they are meant to be backlit, are the bulbs easy to change or is it best to return to the dealer; only ask because recently had to remove the front bumper to change a...

Non-idling 8V GTI (Simos ECU) by The Admiral
Hi All... I posted a message last week about a 1995 8V Golf GTI that would only run when held on the throttle. As soon as the throttle was released it would die again. I've managed to get the car back home now, and in my first 2-minute investigation I put the key in the ignition, and turned to the first position before turning the engine. I heard a lot of servo-type clicking from the...

Spigot rings by JustinClarke
I have a MkII GTI which has alloys from a Renault Clio. (It was like that when I bought it). This causes me problems because the hubs on my car are 57.1mm but the wheels are 60.1mm bore. Does anyone know of somewhere I can get spigot rings to make these wheels fit? Ta

Can someone identify this carb? by SteveH

Polo blue lenses fail MOT! by Tunafish
My mums MK4 Polo failed it's MOT on it's blue rear lenses. Apparently on the test sheet there's a heading 'Rear reflectors' as aren't any there the tester put 'missing'. This is strange since it passed it's first MOT last year at the main dealer where my mother bought the car with the same lenses!! Anyone know what the law actually says on this subject - my brothers split screen camper passed...

TDI Engine & transmission layouts in VW / Audi bays ( whats' compatible with what ? ) by Ebodski
Hi I've got a 251000 mile 93 Audi 80 TDI-90hp which is running sweet...circa 650+miles per tank. I want a 97 Passat TDI-110-SE but I'm still waiting for more high mileage- but genuine TDIs to become available cheap ( under £3k ), so in the meantime I'll keep the Audi and drive with my fingers crossed in case the turbo/fuelpump or cat fails. I thought the only VW/Audi's that had a longitudinal...

Passat questions by KotF
I've just bought a Passat 1.8 SE Estate - a major upgrade from my previous vehicle which had no electronic gizmos of any kind. I need to charge the battery - if I remove it will this affect the alarm/central locking or the radio (I have the code)? Can I actually lock the car with the battery removed? Probably dumb questions but this is all a bit new to me. KotF

Bilstein Streetline - any good? by RJH
I noticed the streetline kit on europarts for about £200, springs and shocks for a Golf 2 GTi. Anyone tried them? Any good? I didn't really want to lower the car, but 40mm doesn't seem too much unless it mucks up clearance. TIA Rob

Fire! by doddy
Hey My mate's 2000 Polo went on fire last night: http://www.alandodridge.co.uk/burnt/burn1.jpg He has no idea what caused it - just came back to the car and it was full of smoke. The car is just over warranty by 6 months. He's not sure if VW will admit fault and cover damages.

MkII Golf recall by JustinClarke
I was talking to someone a few days ago who asked if my GTI had been recalled years ago. Something to do with the heater matrix, I think. Ive only had the car for a few months and the previous owners have done some strange things so I have no idea whether they would have taken it back when this recall was announced. Can anyone help with info about what the recall involved. How can I tell if it...

1987 Jetta steering problem by K Hollingworth
Hi there! I own a 4sp 1987 Jetta 1.3 which has developed a bit of a problem with its steering. When you steer left, regardless of how much steering you put on there is a squeal which sounds like it comes from the left-hand wheel. I have also noticed a vibration which I think must be feeding back through the steering because my passenger didn't notice it. Any ideas? Is it likely to be...
