    just a silly question, you got the gaskets on correct way around. its some times possible to get them the wrong way around on some engines. this means that a oil gallery is open to the water etc. have you done a compression test. just a thought. i know ive not done a gasket on a Golf but its been know on other engines

    Hi, i had a smell too and it wasnt a naturel ale gas. hehehe. i found that the top hose going into the bulkhead had a small hole in it. when my engins cooling system got up to preasure the water was escapeing and what i could smell was cooked antifreeze. may be the same for you. who knows

    There is always a solution, i am looking into it. i need to know if there is a central control unit under the dash of the car that controls total closure. also i am considering getting a new alarm to see if this cures the problem. I think my current problem was caused by rain while i had the bonnet open fitting new coil overs. any one else had this anoying problem?

    could my scorpion factory alarm cause my windows to open on there own.. I checked so much, the wireing is perfect and the windows all work while driveing. when i lock the doors etc with the windows up the car first starts to open the off side window in steps, then it opens the near side window. i know i have another thread running on the window thing but i thought ide ask this seperatly. is it the alarm that soly controls total closure? have any of you had this with the factory alarm on a mk3 98 golf VR6 THANKS AGAIN

    yep and a little double sided tape. it took me about 30 mins in and out all done and you can switch the background colour from green to blue

    o k, i checked out the loom to the drivers door, inside and out and its as good as new, so im thinking this. its got the factory scorpion alarm, while i was fitting the coil overs i had the bonnet open in a rain storm, could it be the alarm?

    AS PROMISED, HEAR ooops shouting sorry, hear is the item number for the indiglo dials (290358093962) there ok to fit as long as you are good at takeing the dials out. you do not need to remove the original faces or needles and i soldered the power directly onto the rail taht controls the iluminations for the front of the dials. the RPM IS A LITTLE OUT, AND THEY ARE THE 160 MPH DIALS. ENJOY

    thanks man. ile have a look on the morrow, its deff getting worse. its totaly strange though as its been fine, i did put the entire hi line leather in there the other day. So i might have desterbed the loom when i changed the door card. Was it you that fixed your car and what wires did you have to fix, im guessing there is a switched live and a earth + perminent live? thanks again

    hears a thought. ive been useing the alarm fob to lock the car and activate total closure, what if it the alarm sending a ghost feed back to the car to open the windows. any ideas on that one?

    all cars drop un important power drains on cranking of the engine, eg head lights, sterio, heater etc. are you sure it not just that?

    thanks for the heads up, i already did the permenent live cure but i realy want to get to the bottom of why the switched live is dead. this is in case its the reason i have a problem with the power windows. thanks again and if any one does know where the fuse is for this, man that would be great.

    i can hear the relay and yeah when you hold the key in eather direction you can open or close the windows. Its been raining hear i a do wonder also if water has got some where it shouldent. I dont even know where the windon control unit is, may be then if i can find this i can disarm the windows till i can fix it or replace may be the control unit. man its a strange one that ive never encountered and i feel that VW should never of let this be possible.

    Hi man oh man my VR is a problem child, right i had the stock sony tape player in the car and realised i had the mini sony changer in the garage, when i fitted it the head unit stoped working so i removed the head unit and fitted a new Kenwood. well when i fitted this new unit i noticed the switched live (yellow in vw's case) was dead when you turned on the ignition, where as it should be live at this point. i wondered, the sony worked up until the point of plugging in the changer. Did this knock out the circuit. Everything else is working so i cant see it shareing a fuse. I cant locate a fus

    O K, ive just wirnessed the car opening the windows. it starts with the drivers side, you can hear the relays go nuts and the drivers window steps its way down to open followed by the passengers window, i try to close them and have no control other than to put the windows down. and they wont close on the total closeure option. after a while it lets me close them and then it opens them again. i just moved the car onto the drive and closed the windows and sice i moved the car its not tryed yet to open the windows. please help before i burn my car lol

    Right, i lock my car and during total closure the windows are closed. The car is licked and all is good. The last two mornings ive gone out to find both front windows open and the doors locked. I locked the car by remote just for your info. Now the car ia a 98 3 door, ive had a problem with the switched live, could it be this? I removed the stoxk sony after i pluged in the changer and the head unit stoped working. When i fitted the new unit the switched live( yellow) was dead. I also just fitted the entire hi line leather and during this i had to disconect the window controls. May be this? Ma
