Hi all, While doing a general check of the mk5 TDI BKD, I discovered that the heater had a problem. The heater is too hot and shows no signs of cooling down unless it is completely turned off after running the car for 30 minutes. Initially when starting up everything is fine.

I’ve recently replaced my passenger window regulator and motor. The window will only work 10 minutes after the battery has just been plugged back in and only from the passenger window switch but not the driver side switch. After the 10 minutes there is no sign of the window working.

Hi Folks,


After googling around I couldn't find a solution and any insight.

Last month I took my Polo 2016 GTI to the mechanic to have my AC regassed. They said that I had a leak at the evaporator, and only 10% of refrigerant was in the system. I took it to another...

I've had my 2011 Octavia VRS wagon (petrol) for over 2 years now with no issues. A couple weeks ago the car would not start due to a dead battery. Initially thought the battery was on its way out as it was a few years old so purchased a new battery. A couple days later, same issue, the car would not...

This is for vehicles with keyless entry.
I'm sure this is a case of RTMFM, and I did! But didn't find what I was looking for.

On a few occasions I mustn't have touched the outer door handle/lock via key fob and have returned sometime later with the mirrors in their unfolded position...

So i have a 1996 1.8 mk3 golf CL and just recently my idle has either been high at 1200-1600 rpm or really low at 500 rpm and about to stall. This only occurs when it's warm and the engine has had a little bit of load applied. I've checked and replaced old vacuum lines and that word for about 30 minutes...

Hi folks,
Purchased my first Tig about 3 months ago. Love the little bugga, except for one major issue. The accelerator response time. I got sick of taking off from the lights only to find myself five seconds later, 20 metres behind the car I am following, without even trying.
Purchased...

Afternoon
I have an issue with cruise control with the vehicle surging. Most notable when cruising on a flat road, not so notable on slightly undulating road. Revs / speed don't increase but annoying with engine note changing and Fuel Economy read out fluctuations from between 5.5 and 8.5 L/100k....

Hi all,


Just wondering if anyone has ever seen this strange issues on a MK5 TDI. We've just had the alternator changed as the previous one failed and was still under warranty. Incidentally this fixed all the horrible howling noise and rough running issues I previously posted....

Hi all,

I'm possibly just a bit nervous given the car as only done 1800km, but this morning I was doing a little bit of spirited driving with a colleague in close behind me. When we got to work he said that after we pulled away from a set of lights he noticed some white smoke come from...

The driver side internal door latch disconnected from the mechanism today (or broke). If it was my old 74 suitcase, I could pull the door card off in a couple of minutes & investigate, but how do you dismantle a Multivan door? Has anybody got any schematic I can use or the like?

Thanks,...

Afternoon

So it seems my coolant flush last week wasn't as successful as I thought so I went out and grabbed some G13 and started again due to green discolouration in the coolant. (im guessing pockets of the prior fluid weren't G13 and were stuck somewhere)

I opened the drain...

Oh hi,

So. My driver side mirror puddle light died a little while back on my R36, and I only just got around to replacing it with some LED versions instead.

In about 3 minutes I had replaced my passenger side puddle and tested both LEDs to be working. Looked awesome and...

Hi all, I'm experiencing the following issue with my head unit.

After about 20 mins driving the head unit starts turning itself on/off constantly for five minutes. There is also a clicking noise from the relay below steering wheel which marries up with the head unit turning on/off. After...

Yesterday, while on the freeway, the engine suddenly stopped as I dropped it to idle between two gears. I got it started again, but the engine wasn't behaving like before. It would seem to start, but then drop back to starter-engine-rpm. It would do this a few times before catching, and then had to...
