I think you should check the gearbox for whining and I guess all the usual things for a 'middle aged car'. They're pretty nippy cars and good on fuel too. --Steve "Dave Hall" wrote in message ...

I have a 1.9Tdi Golf Estate 97 on a P plate which recently had the cylinder head go. Other parts of the engine were dying so I replaced the Engine with another 1.9Tdi same engine codes so it was a straight swap. Now i drive the car pretty car and was wondering if my style of driving could've been the culprit for the cylinder head failing, all the excess heat etc. So my train of thought has come...

just got a new for my passat tdi 1999 all works fine but the hazard lights come on ??? I am sure there is a simply answer

I have wanted a Golf GTI since I first set eyes on one in my mid teens and after a year of searching for the right one I finally bought it on Saturday. It's an unmolested '88 F reg, jade green 16 valver that cost me the grand total of £450. No big problems and no rust(1) or rot. So a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering: 1. Suspension: It will need replacing soon so what's the best?...

Hi - is there any way to verify a gti 89 cylinder head without taking it off? The digifant's there, and the bits seem to match up, the car runs fine, it's just I want to be sure. I'm suspicious because the engine number has been filed off the block. Thanks Rob

My love of my life ( my early 1985 MK2 Golf GTi 8v) is now back on the road, MOT'd (straight through - not a single noting or suggestion!) with his new 16v engine fitted!

My sons 1.4 Lupo petrol, W Reg, has an exhaust leak on the flexi pipe between the cat and the down pipe, has anyone had this experience. He has an extended VW warranty, is this covered ? It is not corroded. Enquires have shown that this is not a single part but is integral with the front section including the cat which seems ludicrous, considering the price of a cat. I am proposing buying a...

Hi All, I am looking to buy a 1998 Polo 1.4 CL. The car has done 87K miles and has a full service history up to 73K miles so a service is long overdue. The car bodywork is very good and there is no blue smoke from the exhaust but I am concerned that I can hear a tappety noise once it is started and the noise does not disappear even when the engine is warmed up. The trader tells me that the...

"Daniel G" wrote in message ... Dear all, I recently had a recon gearbox fitted to my super old Mk2 Golf Gti (J reg), and I think something fundamental has changed. When I recently took it on the motorway I found that at 70 I would be revving at about 2500 rpm and to go up to 4000rpm would result in a speed well over 100mph (in...

I have a set of 15" BBS alloys shod with Toyo Proxy T1S that have done about 1500-2000 miles. They have come off a MK2 Scirocco. I want £225 anyone interested call 07779 592227 after 8pm.

I have a 1.8 GT 1990 G reg scirocco with 152,000 miles on the clock, the head gasket has gone and the CV joints are worn. The body shell is good, it has a Webber carb and BOGE 40mm lowering springs and shocks. Before the gasket went it was getting 40mpg at a steady 80mph on the motorway. The car is in Stafford and is going for £125 anybody interested call 07779 592227 after 8pm

I bought a 1985 Polo today, 1043cc 85K and all seems well except for the speedo. It goes all over the place and when I get up to about 50 it shows right round the clock and other times it will not return to zero. The mileometer works alright so has anybody any ideas please? smicker

The power steering rack has just gone on my 1990 mk2 golf, has anybody replaced there steering rack before, how easy is it, any idea where I can get a recon rack from, because I really don't want to spend £330 on a new one plus fitting if I go down that road. Cheers Migs

My son has a 92 Jetta (1.8). It has what I think is a problem with the pickup unit in the distributor. The car will run fine and then quit. It refuses to start until left to sit for a long period of time. When started it will run again OK and then just shutdown. Does this seem like the problem? I think the whole distributor would have to be replaced to fix the pickup unit. Any advice? Ed

Can anyone recommend a reliable dealer for 2nd-hand / new parts? I need to replace a n/s wing mirror for a Mk3 mystic blue / purple golf GTi 16v. Thanks for anything. Jason

I've just changed the coolant on my son's 1990 Polo (1043 engine). The Haynes manual reckoned it should take 6.5 litres and the VW handbook reckoned approx 5 litres. When I refilled it, it only took 3 litres. Unfortunately my lad disposed of the old stuff so I don't know for sure how much came out. I made sure the heater was set to hot and was squeezing all the hoses to try and expel any...
