Can anyone help me out with this before I go to a dealer?

Got a 1997 gti 16v. I have an intermittent misfire. Sometimes the car is fine, other times it is hesitating/stuttering/jumping really badly. There is no pattern to the misfire. I have changed the plugs and leads and it seemed fine for a day or so, but then returned. Thinking of changing the coil pack to eliminate this. Has anyone else had any such problems?

Just over the past year I have noticed that my car's temperature gauge behaves differently from what I have seen in the past few years. It has always quickly warmed up to the Normal position and stayed there pretty much rock solid regardless of the outside conditions. Now, if the car is moving it barely gets above 70, and putting the heater on also keeps it low. If I sit in traffic for ages it...

As the subject says, is the engine in a Lupo 1.0 an interference engine or not? TIA

Has anyone any suggestions on how to rectify this? The interior light comes on when the door is opened, so that part is working, but in any case I can see no switch for this anywhere. Car is a '99 T 1.7 SDI. Thanks. Brian.

1998 Jetta TDI, no start, no MIL, no glow indicator, replaced relay 109 (carry a spare), ECU load reduction relay. Bentley diagrams are not representative of what I have found in the car for wiring/relays. Does anybody have any alternative diagrams? How about knowledge of how the ECU is powered, i.e: does it get a trigger directly from the ignition switch or does it get triggered off the key on...

Hi, I have just, driven my Golf CL J reg car, and it seems to cut out. It seems intermitent, but generally when i slow down at a roundabout, or junction,it seems to do it. it literally cuts out, and the red lights in the dashboard come on, and all u do is restart the car. Dows anybody have any ideas, as its an ongoing saga, that seems to be unable

I have a 98 year 1.9 tdi Passat and have a problem when breaking. When you break it makes a fast juddering/knocking/banging noise. It's worse when you break from high speed. Also it only seems to happen if you break gently, if you break harder you don't hear it. It's been in the garage three times and they can't work out what it is. Just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem or might...

Could somebody tell me how to tell if a 98 mk3 Golf has traction control? Is there any physical presence or code letter on the chassis plate? I was told when I bought it it had - but the recent delights of northern icey roads suggest otherwise. Thanks, Rob

Hi all, I have just got an n-reg passat 1.9 tdi, I had a flat battery, removed & recharged, problem is that since i have reconnected hazzards go off for for about 10 secs & then stop, then they restart for another 10 secs. also ignition is immobolized. there is no audible horn or siren...just hazards & immob.i never got a fob or any special keys..just 1 regular key for doors,ignition etc. any...

This morning I got a STOP, CHECK COOLANT, SERVICE MANUAL message. I decided to ignore it as I was only removing the 2000 GOLF GTI 1.8T from out of the garage to clean it. After cleaning my Golf I started it up again with no problems and no STOP message. This sort of false messages seem to be common, does anyone else agree?

Hi, i own a 1988 golf gti 8v digifant. Its in "Bright blue metallic" and is the original paint. Apparentely VW didnt produce any golf's in this colour until 1990. Also my hazard light switch is on the steering column, which is usually on post 1990 cars only as its a different electrical system. It would seem that ive got a 1990 spec car with a 1988 number plate and logbook! The chassis number is...

I have a MK5 Golf in the past I posted about checking when the next service is due, the technique worked fine the 1st time, but ever since if I try the sequence it shows SERVICE NOW, the car has only done 8k5 but has shown this display via the sequence for a few 1000 now, thanks in advance.

In a Tesco car park, I was about to put grandson in the child seat in the rear of Mk IV Golf. Opened drivers door and put keys in the ignition. Walked around the car and by the time we arrived at rear door the remote locking kicked in and we were locked out with the car keys and my house keys staring at me in the ignition! The rest of the story is a nightmare and I won't bore anyone with it...

The opportunity has come up to buy a mk3 VR6, and I've had a look at one this evening. Generally very tidy except: Curious bubbling of paint/exposed rusted metal in the boot/wheel well. It looks like battery acid has been spilt - no creased metal or obvious welding. Can't think what it is, but an odd place to spill battery acid?! History is a VW printout - service book lost, and as I'm...

Just out of interest what is the best car you have owned (not newest)comparing like for like for what else is/was available at the time. For me it was my Corrado owned it for 8 yrs and was minimal in maintainance cost and great for reliability.

Saw a new r32 in the showroom today, is it me , it does not have the same wow factor as the other Golfs especially the MK4 model...

Hi, I require a full set of (genuine, if possible) VW car mats to fit 1996 Polo 1.4CL Automatic. Anyone know where can I get these at a reasonable price or know the VW part number so I can look it up on the net? I'm having trouble finding any that fit correctly, as there's no foot clutch in an automatic, so the normal mats don't fit. I also require a rear wiper. I bought a Bosch 11" wiper...
