Polo engine noise
Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:38:46 -0000
I have a Polo 1.4 (1998) that has gradually become noisy at the top end.
Sounds like a single noisy tappet, apparent on startup, then goes away for a
little while until the engine warms up, and comes back. On icy days the
noise is so loud on startup that it sounds like a knocking, but then
quietens down.
Is any ...

Diagnostic tools for a MK3
Thu, 5 Mar 2009 13:05:46 -0000
What's the best kit to read and clear fault codes for a MK3 Golf? I know VAG
COM is all singing all dancing, but it's also quite dear, whilst standalone
fault code readers are available for relatively little ($90 or so from the
cheap chinese tat sites).
Or am I better off just taking the car to a man who know ...

Mk IV golf intermittent electrical problem
Wed, 04 Mar 2009 16:58:32 +0000
I'm trying to help my son fix an intermittent electrical fault on his
1.6 petrol Mk4 golf (R reg). The snag is that he's 250 miles away in
Cornwall working for the Summer.
The symptoms he's describing fit the "relay 109" fault. Thing is is
there such a relay on the petrol Golfs and is it in the fuse box below

Golf running again! Still stalls occasionally...

a whirring sound. The shop replaced the timing belt, water pump,
battery, and starter. $750 and a week later, it's running again.
Yes!
When I got it home I replaced the oil, fi ...

Flooded engine
Thu, 12 Feb 2009 23:00:36 -0000
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
