After driving for 10 mins their is no noticeable noise just at startup. The car has a new ribbed belt for the PAS aswell. Just wondering what it could be or if something...

Hi, I have a problem with my M Reg 94 Golf CL Driver doors staying locked. When I turn the key, all the push buttons on the doors go up and down but I cannot open any of the doors except the boot which is the only lock that works. I have climbed in and pushed and pulled the buttons, they all go up and down together, and tried the door handles.

MK4 golf 1.6s 2001 Within the last week after driving for about 10/15 minutes when I apply the brakes there is a what I can best describe as a tweeting noise fairly loud and noticeable. It sounds as though it is coming from the rear of the vehicle. I took the rear wheels off the pads have had quite even wear on both sides and about 50% used both sides.

Hello All I have a Polo, 2008 model, fitted with the 70PS (51kw) 3 cylinder diesel engine and recently carried out a fuel consumption check, gaining some results that surprised me. Has anyone done similar checks, preferably for steady motorway driving at around the legal maximum? I would be very interested in hearing the results obtained during a practical test, rather than the urban,...

I'm making a rather timid attempt at the head gasket on my 1998 Polo 1.4. I know the obvious advice would be to get a Haynes manual, but it's bank holiday and I'd like to see how far I can get during the holiday period. So far I've removed the cam cover and the timing belt cover. Hey -- it's a start :-) From here on in it looks like trying to find my way across country without a route map -- cam...

I've been into VAG cars for about 8/9 years now and was thinking I spent so much money on diagnostics as a hobbyist and thought about starting a low cost diagnostic service and possible fixing of the problem depending what it is. I remember when I bought my first VAG car and had nothing diagnostic wise and took it to a specialist who charged me £60 to clear fault code of the engine...

My wife has just bought a used Jetta 2.0 SE TDI first registered in September 2008.It has engine code BKD. Does anyone know if this is a CR engine or a PD as I have been given conflicting information at the dealers. Thanks, Ian

Is it a good idea to use a jet cleaner additive in the fuel. I have done so for years in a 1992 BMW! Thanks

The ignition leads have failed every 15-20k miles on this vehicle (including the first time when it was a day or two out of warranty! Problem was solved at 60k by the installation of solid copper leads, but these were replaced with original eqpt. during the 125k service (unnoticed by me), as the mechanic wanted to rectify the radio interference! now at 140k, and it has happened again. is...

Golf Mk4 '53 reg rear spring broken. Date: 5-April-2009 Had a bit of a strange grinding noise from the back end for the last couple of weeks after a recent visit to a VW garage to replace the rear brake pads and disks. They said the rear springs were rusted as well. Just took a look and found the right rear spring broken. Googled for "Broken spring" and found that Ford cars are having a...

Good afternoon all. Nice to see the sun out and had the roof down on the Golf Cabrio for the first time - first time in comfort, anyway - this year. Anyway, I need to repair or replace the driver's seat on the Golf (2000 2.0 Cabrio Avantgarde) and I'm having difficulty sourcing a replacement or finding someone to do the quite substantial repair that I need. Any thoughts or...

I have a Polo 1.4 (1998) that has gradually become noisy at the top end. Sounds like a single noisy tappet, apparent on startup, then goes away for a little while until the engine warms up, and comes back. On icy days the noise is so loud on startup that it sounds like a knocking, but then quietens down. Is anybody familiar with this problem?
