Need to replace the front engine mount in my mk2 GTi. Gen VW item quoted at £88. Bearing in mind I want to do a few trackdays and possibly take it over to the 'ring I thought I'd look at fitting an uprated item. Also I have fitted a TSR 4-1 manifold which doesn't have a proper flexi-joint. The Vibratech name pops up all over the place regarding this and cheapest I've found one for is...

Mk2 Golf. 1.6litre. How do I discover / decide that engine mounts need replacing ? Is it obvious? What are the signs ? Tod

Hi, I think my head gasket has blown and I've heard a lot of different stories about whether or not it's worth fixing. I went to a main VW dealer and they told me if the head gasket has blown it's what they call a "throw away engine". Somebody else said he was talking b***ox. Anybody got any ideas and if so do you know of any garages who do this sort of thing?

The long and irritating problem of an occasional misfire in my H-reg 1.3 Polo Mk 2 seems over at last. When I bought it amost 6 months ago, there was an occasional misfire so I got it new plugs and leads, as the old leads didn't seem to be gripping the plugs very well. That was because some previous owner or mechanic had left the screw terminals on the old plugs. D'oh! Still the misfire was...

My suspension seems dodgy on my MK3 Golf 1.4. I've had the rear bushes replaced and front left wishbone in past year. I recently took trip round Europe covering 6000 miles on all sorts of mountainous roads including doing 50mph over cobbles for 5 miles (was quite cool), but now it seems I'm about to pay the price. The left rear seems between 20-15mm higher than the right and I get a lot of...

Greetings all from down under. We have a '98 Golf GL (2.0 litre) and have had it since new. Over the past couple of months, every now and again, the car just stops - it has recently become more frequent. The mechanic has replaced the coil, the fuel pump and the latest thing that was replaced was the crank angle sensor which we hoped would fix the problem - it hasn't.

My 1999 Golf 1.8 GTI has a problem. Every so often at random it will lose power although still running when I press the accelerator pedal it will be rough and very sluggish for about a minute or so before it seems to clear itself and carries on as normal. The idling seems to be rough as well, could this contribute to the problem? The problem of losing power 9 times out of ten will happen if I...

Hello I have a problem where the main front beam lights do not work. These are the ones which are connected with a green wire when you change the bulbs in the head light. I have already changed the bulbs (12V - 55W) and checked the fuses 16/17/18/19. When I connected a Voltmeter to the head lamp unit connector, I do no measure a voltage. I see however a voltage for the city lights (yellow ...

I have noticed in passing an X-Reg GTi for sale.Before I go for a further look, were they all 1.8 or were there some 2.0 litres ( or perhaps even 1.6 I seem to remember). Thanks, Sam Salt
