    the rear window opening when you unlock aint the norm,all my windows closed ok untill one of my rear window regulators packed in and all i could get was a regulator for a 95 golf and mines a 97 and now only this window rolls down half way when i unlock the car so i think yours may of been replaced with a early model golf?when i get a 97 regulator ill let you know if it goes back to normal.jay

    remove the front only part to the thermo housing(3 allen key bolts facing the radiator) pull this cover hard once the bolts are out coz its a tight push fit,when this pops of the long black pipe will be attatched to this,then wiggle it a bit pulling at the pipe to remove it from the back of water pump,did you replace housing or a garage?as this part would of been disturbed when changing themo housing and should of had new seals replaced then?your need 3 new seal,there only cheap from vw,your best to get these before doing the above.

    Airbag Light

    jayvwvr6 replied to stevenh's topic in Interior

    vag-com will defo re set it and turn the light out,i did this and panicked for a day till my mate cam round plugged in the vag com and reset the air bag.in future never switch the ignition on with the airbag unplugged,its ok to unplug airbag with the ignition of as this wont send any faults out.

    nice one mate,ill give it a go as its still sitting in my garage i cant bring myself to getting it fitted as it will bug me like mad if everytime i wash the car im looking at someone elses number plate on my car.
  17. jayvwvr6
    just the man i need!! i bought a second had rear screen coz my heating strips were scratched and only cleared half the screen in the winter,what my prob is the creen i bought has someone elses number plate etched on it!how do i remove it or is it perminant?hope you know a trick of the trade secret?jay

    if its the long plastic pipe that runs from the thermo housing to the back of the water pump(left had side looking at it) id say it wasnt the pipe but the rubber o seals that it sits into,these perish and leak.

    i had a new clutch done when i had my chains done about 10 months ago and i get the same thing so i wouldnt say your clutch is going mate.

    there a mk4 round my way with a private plate on and badges removed that ive had a couple of runins with and his mk4 can shift!

    rear wheel bearings are pressed into the rear disks and if your not replacing the rear disks for new ones the old wheels bearings gotta be pressed out first, front disks easy, brake hoses not a prob and your best to change the brake fluid while your at it if its a realy dark almost black colour. hope thats helps,jay

    the ticking sound and gurgling exhaust sounds like a split downpipe or knackerd manifold gasket?was it ticking before the water problem?
  24. jayvwvr6
    as tital suggests,when i use my vw touch up paint it always looks,well,touched up and crap!and what you supposed to do with the clear laquar paint?when i add this on top of the touch up it looks even worse,are you supposed to flat it down with a very light wet and dry?after the base coat?

    try and beat this... timing chains,clutch,all 4 wheel bearings,rear disks and pads,1 inner and 1 outercv,radiator,thermostat and thermostat housing,air con regased,tie rod and end,top mounts,front anti roll bars,4 shocks,stub axle hub,rocker cover gasket,rear bump stops,radiator fan switch,ht leads,gear box mount! most parts were fitted because they failed or starting to fail,all done in approx of the first 11months of buying the car so you aint on your own m8.and the car only done 75.000 miles!
