Hi, I posted a question, a week ago about common faults on a Golf GTi. I managed to Buy one, I filled my gas tank up, and my eyes were spinning, as the price was spinning. From total empty, it went up to £45.00. How many MPG's should i expect, as an average? Thanks ;-)

Have just purchased a golf gt tdi with sat nav. Salesman has told me that the disk and manual couldn't be ordered until I purchased the car - he borrowed a cd from another branch and says he will send mine when he receives it to them instead of giving me the new disk. 2 weeks down the line I still don't have the manual - he said they are on back order. Their catalogue says that the sat...

Anyone know how to replace the bulb from the heater control (blower / temperature knobs) on a mk3 1997 golf?

Hi All, Anyone know any websites where you can identify parts on drawings and get part numbers? (Mk2 Golf, personally.) There used to be a Russian site (www.elcats.ru/audivw/) which was quite useful, even though it was in Russian, but it seems to have changed or gone or moved since I last used it. Tod

Hey all.... I have a Mk3 J plate Golf 1.8 cl, the engine was overheating in traffic but not when driving normally. So I changed the thermo switch in the radiator - no change! I then drained the system and changed the thermostat and the water pump. After filling with water (thought i'd test with water in case i had to re-drain if there were any leaks)the temp gets to 110 C without the fan cutting...

I have a 2003 Mk4 Golf GTi (2.0 8valve) that often sounds rough when started. It sounds a bit like the exhaust is blowing and a bit like a diesel. The exhaust has been checked and is fine. Two VW dealerships have checked it and plugged it into the diagnostic machine and both have said there is nothing wrong with it. It is becoming quite annoying. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix...

Thought this may be of interest to some of you. Had my renewal from Norwich Union Direct, full NCB protected Comp cover was £527. Went onto the Norwich Union website, same cover, same excess £261. Cover for the VR6 now costs less than for our Citroen diesel !

Hi, I'd really appreciate any advice about getting refunded for unnecessary work that has been performed by my local VW dealership. Also, if anyone could help me isolate a cooling problem on my '96 Golf, that would be very helpful. Bit of a long post, I'm afraid, so here goes: My mk3 1.6 Golf had a nasty one-off overheating problem at the weekend. I stopped at services during a long motorway...

Would appreciate any comments on the mk5 gti. Wife is considering getting one, currently I own a mk3 gti 16v. 7 seconds to 60 is not that quick for a 2.0 turbo charged car. Is the pace through the gears more rewarding?

Hi - a newbie question: my wife's 2003 1.4 Polo needs a new dip-beam bulb. The manual says take it to a dealer, which strikes me as absurd. Since I have a huge tool set (oo-err missus) I should be able to do this myself, but it was too dark last night to see exactly what I was up to. I can pop off the rubbery cover and the electrical terminals, but what next? I think I saw some torx screws...

I have heard that the Golf Mk5 GTI has an "engine sound amplifier" built in that can be turned off or on. Under the bonnet one can see an extra fitting, a square "tube" that runs from the front of the engine, along the side of the block and then disappears into the bulk head. My colleague says that the on/off "switch" is somewhere behind the glovebox. The whole idea of the thing is,...
