Hi Group My Golf 2.0 litre diesel has developed an odd habit, it has decided to warn me every time I go over 20 mph even outside a 20 mph speed limit. Any ideas anyone? Its driving me mad. Alan

Golf Mk2 '92 heater problem by benpost
I have an old Mk2 1800 Driver, J reg last of the mark 2's. Its just done 238,000 miles and I have had a few minor issues lately but the engine just keeps on going. A few months ago I noticed a drip under the bonnet and found It was losing water, I managed to top it up and get home. It was the radiator leaking, one of those rad weld things you crumble into the system did the trick. First of all...

Flooded engine by Stephen
MK4 golf 1.6 16v 01 Hypotheitcal question, if you flooded this vehicle would the WOT (wide open throttle) method clear the fuel in the engine allowing it to start and run properly. Or after doing that would you need to change the plug from having be damp ? Thanks

96 passat - no spark by Phil L
My passat conked out yesterday, and I had to tow it home as I flattened the battery trying to restart it (I'd already drove it a few miles, so the engine was warm). After recharging the battery, I tried a sparkplug on the bodywork when turning the key and there doesn't appear to be a spark from any of them. The dissy cap seems OK inside, as does the rotor arm, but the lead that leads to the...

Snow by Bill Again[_3_]
I have just been watching Utube videos on the various accidents going on for the last few days on the icy British roads. Mainly cars of course, but lorries and trucks too, including a dust cart sliding backwards down the road and hitting a car. I bet very few of these idiots had winter tires on the car, and none had snow chains. I suspect that a huge percentage of these "accidents" would not...

mk4 gold negative battery terminal \ starting issues by Stephen
I was wondering if anyone has noticed that on the mk4 golf the negative terminal connector on the battery doesn't quite sit properly ? I think think is modding the battery box to accomodate the cable somehow so it sits square. Maybe by dremeling a bit away or driling a big hole and thredding it through. Just wondered if anyone has noticed this. I was always wondering if this has been the...

Golf Mk4 headlight bulb by Angus Manwaring
(2002 Golf Mk4 TDI) Hi all, Somebody told me my passenger-side headlight (dipped) wasn't working and so this morning I bravely set about changing the bulb. It was a 12v 55w H7 Halogen. Without scratching my hands too badly and after only breaking a couple of the plastic clips on the battery cover, I had the bulb in and working.

Turbocharger in VW Golf II by Chris Bartram
Doki wrote: I would expect it to be much easier and cheaper to fit a 1.8T engine as found in the Leon Cupra, A3 and Golf 4 GTI. These will push out 225 horses in standard specification, and 350bhp doesn't seem to be an uncommon figure for a show car. QPE http://www.qpeng.com/ supply various components off the shelf to aid fitting the 1.8T into a MK2 Golf engine bay. This engine...

Turbocharger in VW Golf II by Popey
Good day I'm writing in the name of my friend. Unfortunately his ability to speak English is even worse than mine :) Anyway he is an owner of VW Golf II and he loves this car. On his own replaces and improves various parts of it. For example recently he put in suspension from 4 drive wheel car and engine from other vw (I think passat). If you want, there are some...

After driving down a motorway without any problem, on reaching the 30 mph area the car starts to judder and reduce speed (but the engine doesn't actually cut out) and the light goes on to warn of exhaust/engine management problem. The light is blinking, but there is no other instruction message. Driver was very worried, stopped...

Golf Mk 4 TDI - Hatch door by Angus Manwaring
Hi all, Taking the shopping back to the car this morning at Morrisson's my wife got to the boot door of my Golf (Mk 4 Diesel 02) before I had unlocked it, and she just opened it, and the alarm went off. After a bit of a check it seems that when I lock the car with the remote, the boot door is staying unlocked. The worrying thing is I've no idea how long this has been going on.
