Hi, I wish to upgrade the speakers on my VW Golf Mk III Driver 1.8 3dr (1994) and am looking for some advice. Is this an easy job - and how do I go about removing the existing speakers. Thanks for any help Spencer

I have just changed my car to a ford focus but can't seem to find a google group to deal with ford focus's. Can anyone help? thanks

Just bought a dead cheap 1991 Golf so wasn't very surprised when it decided it wouldn't start any more. I'm familiar (though not an expert) with Beetles - the aircooled ones - but have no idea of where to start with more modern cars. I'm after a manual that gives orientation and basic concepts in an easy-to-follow style; what sits where and why, and how to troubleshoot problems. Is there...

I was talking to a friend today and he told me GTi's had bee sting aerials and if the aerial is mounted on the wing then its a replica and not the real thing? True or false? Thanks!

Hi Thank you for taking the time to read this. I own a '95 mk3 gti - I do not know what some things are in my boot on the near side. I wonder if someone might take a look at the photos I have taken and identify what the thins are. (I have circled them with green).

Anybody have any links / details for the above. I need to gain access to the rear of the stereo (more so than just pulling the stereo out) so that I can remove the control unit for a mobile phone hands free car kit. TIA

My freind and I are going to pick up this car tomorrow and I was wondering what I should be looking for to see if its worthwile?

Forgot to Mention. It's an 1800 GTI 1982/83 Y plate. Also, If you are scrapping a MK1 GTI, please post this.

I bought a cheap (200 quid) 1991 Golf 4+E a couple of weeks ago, so wasn't that surprised when it stopped working. The previous owner told us it was due for a service but I ended up driving it more than I should have before looking at it, and I think I killed it. I've only ever tinkered with Beetles before, so this "engine in the front" business is alien to me. Note that I haven't had chance to...

Hi, Can anyone answer the following:- If i needed to replace my Mk1 Golf GTI wiring harnesses, could i use later harnesses from a Cabrio. My Golf Has the MFA computer and external thermometer. Thanks, W.

Hi Recently bought a 20 year old Mk1 Golf from an Aunt who'd owned the car from new and only put 40k on the clock - honest! She kept the car garaged 24/7 and when we bought it, it was as dry as a bone. Unfortunately over the last few weeks we've had some heavy rain and I now find that front and rear passenger nearside footwells are starting to fill with water.

I think I need to tighten the power steering belt of my mk3 (1992) Golf 1.8 CL. I've got the Haynes bible but it doesn't point out the location of the belt or how to tighten it. I'm still a relative tinkering novice but learning quickly. Can anyone enlighten me as to where the belt is and what the procedure is? Thanks

I have inherited a Jetta minus the radio, Does anyone have one for sale Many Thanks Tony Evans

I've got a Westfalia camper LHD, does anyone know what the cost of switching might be, and where to go? Thanks JJ

Hi, Can somebody please tell me how to reset the service indicator in a Golf III, 1995 (4 cylinder). There should be steps to reset for OEL, IN 1 and IN 2. I think it can be done with the little set buttons for the trip odometer and/or the clock set buttons, but I am not sure about the sequence. TIA, Ulrich

As somebody who uses synthetic oil in my Corrado G60, but who sometimes mixes synthetic with mineral oil in my wives TDI Passat - I was alarmed to read that synthetic and mineral oils don't mix: http://www.turbodynamics.co.uk/useful.htm This company come well recommended, so I'm reluctant to dismiss the comments. Any (preferably informed) views?? --

The gear change on my mk3 Golf diesel is pretty awful when the car is cold, but improves considerably if I drive around a bit. The car had a full service in Aug 2003 so would that rule out transmission oil?? This is my first Golf and first diesel so any help would be much appreciated. TIA
