Golf 1.8 MkIII 1986.
Since I've owned the car, the temp guage has risen to the centre line
as the car warms, stays there, bang-on, until the engine is swtiched
off and the car cools down.

First thing first so not to disturb others that follow this newsgroup
religiously or not.  Question is about 1988 VW Fox wagon GL 1.8L SOHC CIS-E.
Item: reservoir/filter runs between fuel tank enclosed transfer pump and
primary fuel pump.  The line from the engine compartment and ...

Can I use #2 heating oil in my 04 TDI Passat?  If so, are there any adverse
issues to deal with?
Thanks.

My 84 rabbit is running rough.  Here's the details:
Idles rough, sounds like it's going to die, then kicks back and never
dies.
Runs rough (sputters) in each gear until you give it some gas, then it

Recently had some body work done on my '98 A3 Golf 2.0 following an
unexpected off-road excursion on my way skiing.  The car now has an
issue that I haven't resolved that is draining the battery.  It had
been running fine up until the day I picked it up from the shop.  The

Can modern direct injection diesel engines run on vegetable oil ?
I read a Golf Plus brochure the other night. It indicated that the diesel
engine can only run on normal diesel fuel.
My old 97' Sharan TDI seems to run better with 5% to 20% SVO depending on

hi...somehow all my lights are burnt out in the rear...the police
tells me;-)

in any case there's a triangular plastic thing with traces on it that

Strange problem here...for me at least.
If i turn the wheels over a full steering wheel turn, i.e. to park or
do a right angle turn, i hear and feel this 'doink' sound.  I can't

ok. I am a stumped by a 2005 jetta ignition. The key will not enter
the cylinder.  There is a slide visible in the keyway, usually this is
the switch for the "key is in the ignition" chime. The slide appears
to be getting stuck. I can't imagine this is the first time this has

I'm not even sure what model it's for.  A couple walks up to a car in
the showroom, and the horn starts honking.  It happens again and again.
How many people commute every day in rough traffic and want to return to
their own frigging homes to relax, and listen to a damned HONKING ...

I bought a set of Euro Bumpers for my 85 Cabriolet a few years ag
from Rocky Mtn Motorsports
I just got around to installing them, and there are no instructions
The seller can't help due to new ownership and the fact that they ar

96 Golf has lost most of the PS fluid.  Leak is easily tracable to a metal
angled hose coupling.  On one side a hose is clamped to this coupling but on
the other side the coupling has a groove for an O-Ring and the coupling
simply pressure fits into a cavity in the PS pump body.  ...

OK, if anyone can tell me what this part is and it's function.  It's located
in the trunk on the right side and it's encased in black styrofoam.  Looks
like some kind of motor.  On my daughters car, it was making a huming noise,
even with car shut off.  I unplugged the connector. ...

Just wondering if all VW gas gauges are flaky as mine.
Turn the key to "ON", the gas gauge needle slowly goes up.  No matter if its
full or 1/4 tank.  Usually takes about 10 seconds to register the actual
fuel level.  All the US made vehicles I've owned, same conditions, the

Thought I had it kicked.  Replaced a fuel hose recently as I could twist the
old line and it turned easily.
Took the VW over to Midas to check the exhaust system.  Found a few
pinholes, but, other than that, good to go.  They also found fuel on the
