That's pretty disgusting if you ask me. If you were buying a new Bug you could get, from the VW UK website, "CD autochanger, 6 disc, front armrest mounted" for £405 which is still over the top but less so that the price you have been quoted. I'd go with this option as a single CD player is a pain to use. We have a single CD player in our Lupo and to SAFELY change a CD you need to stop...

Can any one tell me exactly where the 50 amp fuse is for the Glow plugs on my VW T4 TRANSPORTER 2000 MODEL. And what it looks like. I was told it was in the engine compartment above the servo but i can not see it.

Put a deposit down on an '03 New Beetle 2.0 Auto last weekend. Asked the dealer to get a price for me to swap out the existing cassette based head unit with a single CD unit (not the 6-disc changer). They came back with a price of £500 plus £50 to fit! Seems way over the top to me; anybody else ever had a similar upgrade? What did you pay? Si

Apologies to anyone who has read this question in rec.autos.makers.watercooled but I thought I might get a better response from UK VW owners. I've just returned from a holiday skiing in France. During the outgoing journey (in very cold conditions) I noticed the car was returning much lower mpg than in the UK (typically about 10 mpg lower). On the journey back I monitored the mpg and found that...

Hi All I've been having a problem with a mis-fire while running on lpg for the last couple of months. I have gradually changed all of the ignition components, plugs, coil pack, leads etc. and still have the misfire. It seems to run quite smoothly on petrol but misses on gas, more so at the lower revs under load than at the higher revs. So I decided to do a compression test today. (had to buy...

Hi The display on the MFA is poor - Many of the pixels that make up the digits are missing. Seems to swop between displays ok but cant really make out the readings. Also the illumination on the heater controls sometimes works,sometimes doesnt. Does anyone know if there are any quick fixes for these problems. ROD

I have recently been having problems with central locking on 99 1.4 Polo 3 Door. I did all usual checks as advised in Haynes manual, and got to the part where removing door handle, when all the Lock springs and rod fell off. looking in Haynes they adise that for model year that a VW dealer do the job. Great dread at being ripped off with extorsionate labour charges. Anyway, bit the bullet...

I recently had cause to fiddle with my Weber Carb. I noticed on the instruction sheet that there are two options for the vacuum connections for the carb. Option 1 (for manual and auto cars) Distributor connected directly to the brake servo line. Option 2 (for autos with vacuum control solenoid)

I'm looking to buy a Touran, and the person who's selling says the engine is the 105PS version rather than the 90 PS version. Does anyone know how I can verify this? Thanks, John.

Does anyone know if a 195/45R15 tyre will fit on a standard Mk2 Golf G60 steel wheel.? Exactly what size are the Mk2 G60 wheels 15 x ?J ??? I loved the toyo proxies in this size on my Mk2 16v but want to go a bit stealth with another Mk2 Golf and fit steels. Any help or pointers appreciated. TIA

What is the accepted wisdom for distance / age to replace the belt? Cheers Dave

Anyone know when this is out and how much it will cost?

I'm getting confused about the right engine oil to top up the 2.0 16V 103kW VAG Diesel engine. The car (actually a Sk*d* Octavia with only 4,400 miles) has QG1 variable service interval code, and the handbook specifies VW 506 01 or 507 00 grades. In Halfords, I couldn't find anything with these approvals, but they suggested Castrol Edge TD 0W-30. I thought I'd check the Castrol website before...

Hi, Is there anyway I can reset the service indicator on this car, without having to buy any tools. Have tried pushing in the trip button and turning the ignition and waiting for --- to appear in the display but nothing, unless I'm not waiting long enough. Has any body got any ideas. Thanks

Hi, anyone know whereabouts the Crank Sensor / Engine speed sensor is located on a VW LUPO 1000cc MPi ALD Engine please? Thanks, Andy.

My windows keep misting up constantly and I'm not sure what the problem is. Can it be to do with a fuse, and therefore the fans arent working? Could anyone tell me where the fuses are? Or is it likely to be another problem?? Thanks for your time
