    Hi, i have a sharp knocking sound coming from the nearside front when driving on uneven ground or slight potholes, this does it in a straight line driving normaly and not under just under load,, i have tonight changed the drop link bar hoping it was this, at the end of last summer i had the 2 lower balljoints changed during service but this hasnt cured it either, i have been told it could be the top mount?? has anyone else suffered from this annoying knock? the car still drives and handles ok its just so frustrating not knowing, any answers much appreciated, scott

    Hi, After using my 4motion today i noticed something strange that wasnt happening when i last used it (last week) When engine is warm and i come to a junction or stop i noticed it idles at about 1100rpm instead of 7-800 rpm If i rev up it still stays at a faster idle than usual ie 1100rpm however if i simply switch engine off and restart it idles normally at 7-800 rpm, as soon as i set off again and come to next stop or junction it idles high again will only settle to normal idle when i switch off and restart and so on!! the service now lights are on when i start and i will get it booked in bu

    started car this am and all normal again... used it all day and not a misfire or hesitation once.. am thinkin it was due to the fact i hadnt used it in 2 weeks and it stood down the bottom of my drive in 13 days rain out of the 14,,also where it stood it wasnt getting no restbite from the weather,just rain rain and more rain, no sun atall to dry things out.. i know cars should be weatherproof but were talking severe water here for like 2 weeks!! lets hope im right here and its nothing more major!! people have told me about vagcom.. i have a laptop, and fairly clued up with the useage of it.is

    hi ive only owned my 2001 golf 4motion for a couple of weeks but i noticed something different on sunday............. started up from cold like normal with slightly highter revs for say 30 secs or so then levels off nice and smooth to normal idle after a half hour normal drive i parked it up for say 20 mins, when i re started i noticed that soon as it started the revs dipped to nearly stalling then settled back again to normal idle.. this happened everytime i stopped and restarted!! still drove fine with no flatspots i didnt think no more of it when i started it this morning it started fine bu
