FS Golf GTI 16v 1997, Air Con, Met Black by vw-lover
Have bought myself a nice v6 4motion, so I am selling my mk3 Golf GTI 16v. I have owned the car for over 5 years now and the car had 1 previous owner. The previous owner was a company which my brother in law worked for so has obtained ALL previous history receipts for the vehicle. The car is 100% standard so if you want a modified or abused car you will have to look elsewhere. Vehicle details...

Got 2 Golf's - how do I insure them by vw-lover
Just upgraded my mk3 Golf GTi 16v which I have had for over 5 years to a mk4 V6 4motion. Bought the car privately so when I pick up the V6 on Tuesday I will have 2 cars, until I can sell the mk3. Is it possible to insure 2 cars at the same time? Is it possible to get short term policies, was thinking of insuring the mk3 for a few weeks until I can sell it. Anyone have any ideas?

Sump Gaskets / Leakyness by Doki
I fitted a GSF sump gasket to my Golf a bit back, and it seems to leak a bit of oil. I've since bought a VW one, which is copper coated with rubber, whereas the GSF one was a thick paper type. Do you or do you not put sealant on metal / rubber gaskets?

Cambelt replacement period and cost on MKIII Golf 1.4 by Chris Howells
Hi, I have a 1995 N reg Golf 1.4 (MK III). Yesterday I took it to the Liverpool VW dealer for its annual service. They advised me to to have the cambelt, tensioner and water pump replaced -- they claimed that it should be replaced every four years. Is this correct? I was under the impression that the replacement interval was based on mileage, not time. The car has only done 30k since new.

My Passat needs gear oil to VW specification G 052 911 A SAE 75W90 synthetic. Is this critical?? - or will any 75W90 synthetic do? GSF has a 75W90 synthetic which they say is OK, but which doesn't have the G 052 911 number written on it. Will that be OK??

Clutch cable on MkIII golf 1.4 by Joe
I've got a stiff clutch on my golf I presume its the cable as I've had no problems with the clutch slipping or gears kicking out. Is this an adjustment/grease or replacement job? Is it fairly cheap to replace £30?

1999 Polo 1.9cdi Brake Lights Failure by Rogerthedodger
The glow coil symbol on the dashboard started flashing just as I got on the M1 to travel to the Midlands late at night. Panic! I discovered that my brake lights were not working. I have changed both bulbs and checked both switches on the pedal. They are quite basic and both appear to be O.K. Could this be a relay switch, or is it the ECU. If it is a relay does anyone know where it is...

The socket will be kept behind the glovebox with my mobile phone handsfree kit. It is so that I can plug in my GPS system without having cables trailing all over the dash. It has just a live and neutral wire to connect. I just...
