My 1999 Mk4 Golf has an instrument panel light, just under the 20mph mark on the dial out. Does anyone know if it's a bulb that can be changed or is the whole unit sealed with LED type lights. If it's changeable, how easy?

I often hear people referring to these what are they all about ? Thanks

I have a passat 2005 trendline the spec looks much the same as the TDI in the manual it say's if you hold the lock or unlock button on the fob for x number of seconds the windows will all open but they don't, you can put the key in the door and hold the key over and that opens them as stated in manual. I was wondering if it's an extra or my windows fob feature isn't working correctly?

I have just checked the power steering fluid level and it appears to be low. No sign of any leaks so I had a look in the Haynes manual to see I had followed the correct procedure which is not very clear. It states "For the check to be accurate, the engine should be at operating temp. and the steering must not be turned once the engine has stopped." I assume from this that the check is made...

What exactly is VAG-COM ? is it a sofware or a lead ? Bit confused as I belive it opens up a lot of features of your car to play with, which I would love to do. Is it just a case of buying the software and lead and plu-in and go play ? Be grateful of some info on i. Cheers

I have a 2001 TDi estate. I noticed recently that the rear wiper seemed to be running slow. Now it has stopped completely. Any advice from those who have been there, before I get the screwdrivers out?? JD

A friend of mine has a really stunning VW Trident T4 Motorhome for sale which he has meticulously cared for since new. It is completely immaculate, white, a 1997 model, and has done just 27,000 miles from new. He is looking for offers in the region of £15,500 I have prepared a brief web page for him, providing full details on my homepage (tesco homepage-very basic html-no risky content) and...

All, To cut a long story short, my golf drowned today in a flood. A VW dealer has confirmed that the engine is pretty much mullard - It does run apparently, but it smokes badly. Its a 2003 53 plate, in Black with 98000 on the clock. FDSH. Is this worth anything to anyone? How bigger job is it to change the

What's a good price on T reg 99 saloon 1.9 TDi Sport 115 with 98 k miles? Thinking of looking at one... Sorry for cross posting - think this is the UK forum?

1991 1.3 ryder mk2 golf 2G. i have just changed from the origional suspension and spings to bilstein shocks and h+r springs (slightly lower but don't rub) plus i put 7x15 borbet alloys on. my problem is that when i made these changes the steering became extremely heavy when slow then wanderous and slightly unstable at high speeds with the occasional virabration through the steering wheel and a...

Son's D reg (87?) 1.6, 8v Caddy (Pieburg 2E2!) has now decided to spurt water from somewhere around the carb/manifold area. It did something similar a year or so ago which turned out to be some core plugs in the manifold itself which we managed to change and all was well till a few days ago, now steam is issuing forth at a great rate but we're at a loss to see where its coming from!?!? The...

Having some trouble inding my spark plugs. Its a vw golf 1.6 16v 2001 I have the engine cover of, looking at the block I see our coil packs ? which I think they are all tightly packed. I think the spark plugs are under them ? But how the heck do you get the coil packs out of the way ? Any advice welcomed.

I was just wondering why VW (if anyone knows) says not to use lubricant on the terminals of the battery ? Was just reading the handbook :) sad life, was looking for my stereo code as for some reason it has reset itself. On all the cars I have owned I have always put some one and never had a problem, just curious what so special about my vw golf :) that it doesn't need any.

The windows kept misting up following either washing the car, or after rain fall. Water was gathering in the spare wheel well and in the pocket on the near side. After hours of searching I found that water was somehow getting into the skin of the boot lid and seeping out through the lock mechanism and boot buffers. A blanking piece of tape had become detached off a spare hole near the L/H hinge....

Does the sump plug have to be change when you change the oil on a 1.6s 2001 golf ? or just the washer ? Cheers

Hi again, I wonder if anyone could advise me here. My gearbox fell apart internally (I don't know whether the oil seal between the gearbox and the bell housing had gone) but the clutch plate is lathered in oil (and quite clearly stuffed). Would you say this has been covered deliberately, or could the gearbox mangle have done it?

Have just had the car in for its MOT and to get various bits sorted out, However having just been on a drive (and not being anywhere near my garage for another 5 days) there is a pronounced knocking sound (possibly from NS Rear) when going around right hand corners. I've had two wheel bearings replaced when the card was in, so would hope that this isn't the cause. What can I look for to identify...

My 96 VW Polo has started to overheat. I've been told this can happen when there is an air block in the radiator somewhere, and the best way to sort it is to drain the radiator. Being somewhat new to car maintenance, i'm not sure where the drain plug is. I found what i thought was the plug but when i opened it nothing came out. I'm assuming this means - 1 - it wasn't the drain plug or 2...

Hi all Can anyone tell me what years the 1Y code engine (1.9D NA) was put in the Vento? Or failing that, if the 1Y engine block has a date stamp on it? My JP code engine does have this. So hoping the 1Y does too...
