Hi, I've just seen a 2003 golf tdi 130 that i like and it's at a good price but it has a stamp missing in the service book for the 30000 service, but had all others. Most recent was the 40k. The previous owners probably had it done somewhere else but I can't verify that that is the case. All other stamps came from the same dealership. If the car didn't have a 30k service, what's the likelyhood...

Can anyone help with some info as to what seats will fit a MK 2 GTI? My father dog has literally eaton the existing ones and they need to be replaced. Any info on where I may pick some up would also be appreciated. Thanks Richard

hi, I have a MK2 Golf 1991 1.6 Driver A few months ago I poisted a topic here about the heater bypass valve, and have now bought one Cos it was fitted as part of a recall there's no mention of it in the Haynes manual etc.

Golf MK3 VR6 After replacing the fuel filter due to hesitation during low rpm, now low rpm pick up is normal but seems top power is not very good.... Is it needed to reset the ECU for full power? Is it ok to detach the battery to reset?

VW friends, I have noticed the left control arm is longer than the right one because the ball joints are not installed on the same position on the enlongated holes of control arms. Then I pushed the left ball joint inside to shorten the arm length and roughly adjust the camber and toe for test drive. The vehicle now pull slowly and much slightly.

Is the extra cost of BP Ultimate diesel offset significantly by improvements in consumption and/or other benefits? Planning to try out a tankfull but it would be nice to know if it's a complete waste of time or not. ;-) Tim

I use a pressure washer to clean my car, as winter is on it's way, I am looking for an effective but safe detergent to use, and preferably not have to revert to a mitt or sponge, I have been looking at various non caustic TFR , anyone here have experience of these? Especially the swarfega powerwash non caustic or any decent pressure washer shampoo. TIA

how do I reset service indicator display on a polo classic(saloon) ; have located the diagnostic socket behind the ashtray but I need to know which terminals are which otherwise I will just have to wing it with a multimeter. Can anybody help? Am willing to rig up a little gizmo to do the job if anyone needs it and publish /email the circuits etc for anyone handy with a soldering iron.

A garagehas said that my 2001 1.4 Polo needs a new MAP Sensor to turn out the warning light on the dash. Am I right in thinking that this is the unit half way down the fat breather pipe that exits the Air cleaner and goes down the back of the engine ? If it is ? how the Heck does it come off I can't even get the wired plug off I, let alone remove the pipes to see if they are blocked ?

My Passat 130 TDI has started making a noise only under load. The sound is gas (exhaust or air unsure)being blown out somewhere, as it only happens under load I can't determine where the possible leak is, when driving the car it is noticeably louder with the drivers window open, sound appears to be coming from drivers side near or behind the turbo. The sound as I say is only under load...

Hi, I got to rent a Jetta 2.0T when I was in San Diego and loved it. But I live in a snowy winter wonderland, and want to make sure that it's not too bad when it comes to snow/bad weather. Ice sucks for all cars, get it, more concerned about snow / water on roads. Have been trying to find something in a v4 turbo or v6, with side air bags, and possibly AWD. Surprised there is no global google...

Hi Group I have a Golf TDI with all sorts of electronics including a computer. How can I jump start it without destroying anything? Robert

Okay got brake lines done for £40 against the garages £180, fixed her rusted number plater bulb for £5 (the pair) from scrap yard. While I was flicking through her papers I noticed that on her emissions test the probe picked up no CO2, which would point towards her manifold (that is blowing) being a fail. Yet there is a reading at the lamba sensor, what is this reading? Overall the sheet shows...

My wife has new 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI DSG. I have noticed that only the brake and accelerator pedals are in the alloy/rubber facings. The left footrest is merely the dark grey plastic. In the sales brochures, it clearly shows both the GTI and R32 with the alloy/rubber left footrest on the DSG models. Can anyone else with a DSG GTI check for the alloy/rubber footrest. I'd like to hear from...

My coolant leaks to below min but then stabilises. The system has been pressure tested and has no leaks. The gasket is sound or the engine would have stopped by now. I had a similar problem on my previous car of the same model. Any suggestions?
