I've been given a load of numbers for the Gamma radio code. Can anyone tell me whether the code consists of a series of four numbers or twelve? Thanks Jeff

Background. Car bought with 66k miles. During heavy rain the engine would 'splutter' but clear itself and continue. Splash panels fitted, problem resolved. Car hard to start. Sounds like no 'talk' between ign key and ECU? Eventually fired and ran / started for 4 days,problem free, then problem returned. Wire blocks around inlet manifold removed and replaced, no luck. Removed ign key and inserted...

What sort of fuel economy should I expect round town in an old 1600 C reg Jetta? I'm getting about 23 ish but in my last Jetta (Same spec) I got more..about 30ish

I've had the big spring under my seats (both) break off from seat and the seat was replaced under warranty. Just wondering how many others out there are having this problem, I don't want to replace seat outside warranty, OUch!

just had a job in on one of these where the camshaft sprocket has broken its keyway and moved round the camshaft resulting in 8 damaged exhaust valves. in the process of repairing the head at the moment, but still at a loss as to why this has occured, i am inclined to think that lack of oil pressure has caused the camshafts to partially sieze, thus putting stress on the keyway, i cant understand...

It seems I can get insured on a MK2 Golf GTi for a reasonable sum, so have any of you got any buying advice? Looking for a fairly cheap one (£500 or so).

Had my Passat in for the recall inspection and an MOT on Friday at Hartwell Birmingham. Today I filled up my windscreen washer tank as it had been beeping away over the weekend. Lift up the bonnet and I find there's a screwdriver lying jammed up against some pipes! It doesn't inspire much confidence in their ability to put the car back together again. I guess I'll give it back to them when...

Just joined the VW club. Got a Mk4 Golf GTi 1.8T '02 plate. Not as quick as I thought it might be, but its a whole lotta fun to drive :-) Bit annoyed that the '52 onwards has 180bhp; does anyone know how much quicker it is???

I found this great little site. I signed up two weeks ago and got 2 Disney tickets and this week they are sending me 2 Universal Studios tickets. Here's the link http://66.219.102.40/ and by the way I am a real person, this is my real email address. I'm not a spammer and didn't appreciate the nasty email I got last time I tried to post this link. Thanks,...

A few months ago I replaced the heater matrix in my Mk 2 Scirocco. It was an after-market part, but looked very similar to the original (similar number of fins etc). Anyway, with the recent cold weather I've noticed the air from the heater isn't very hot. On the lowest fan setting it's luke warm at best - on the highest setting it's stone cold. The engine running temperature is fine, the...

Hi there, I am the proud owner of a 2001 Seat Ibiza 1.4 Chill. Everything is fine until it gets frosty, one or two of the doors won't open. I've rubbed silicon grease into the seals so they don't stick. I am sure that the problem is internal, something in the lock mechanism is freezing. Has anyone had this problem before and if so, how do I remedy it? Many thanks ,

I have to park my car near trees most of the time, and apart from getting leaves and pine needles into every conceivable crevice, I also get a fine green mould appearing on the rubberwork eg sun roof rim and at the foot of each window. Any hints on discouraging this life-form? I'm reluctant to use anything really powerful in case it spoils the adjacent paintwork (and the rubber itself, I...

So, whats the BEST thing to use? I have me an old Jetta with a pretty good body...the Jetta, not me...and I want to shine her up like new. What do you lot suggest??

Hi, I have a 91 Corrado with a dodgy sunroof, (surprise, surprise!). Can anyone out there tell me if a sunroof from a 1994 Passat will fit a 1991 Corrado? If it does, will it need any mods? Thanks in advance, Mr Lovebucket.

I have obtained an original equipment electric window "kit". I've got as far as installing the main loom to the fuse box and distributing to each door, and I've installed the regulator in one door. Can anyone advise on what connections are made to the fuse box, where and how etc.? Here's what I have (with details according to Haynes wiring diagrams): -Red/Yellow (2.5): Power In - this wire is...

Two days ago I scrapped my third Jetta. This one had done 210,000 miles...70,000 with me...and had NEVER let me down. I drive like a mental and this car took it all. It ALWAYS started first time, every time. However, like every Jetta I've had there were problems. They leak! The last three have ALL leaked! The one I've just scrapped had water in the boot, on the floor in the back AND on...

Hi, The oil filter on my car has a nut on the end.....and the one I've bought from German & Swedish doesn't. The car is a 2002 Golf 1.6s 16v. Have I bought the wrong oil filter? Thanks Bryn

Afternoon all! I'm looking at ordering the New Golf 2.0 TDi and am mulling over the optional extras. I'd like to get cruise control but I've heard that it has been a bit flaky in the past. Is this true or was it just a problem on older models? Thanks, Gareth
