    Hi there. Hope somebody can help and advise. Some lowlife smashed 5 windows in my golf estate. Have managed to get from the breakers yard all the side windows and fitted them. But having trouble locating the rear quarter glass, this is untitled. VW UK say they are an obsolete part. Have seen one for sale in Germany for £300 plus any import tax. Didn't want to spend that much on something that could get broken in transit. Any ideas? Thanks for reading. Cheers. Max Field

  3. Hi all, just looking for some directions on what I can try next, grateful for help. My passenger brake doesn't come on when I depress the brake, and the yellow warning light shows to confirm it. I've changed the bulb, difference. The indicator light comes on so I assume that means the cluster is ok? Is there a fuse or some trouble shooting I could take to try and narrow the problem down? Thank you,

    The headlamps (Bi-Xenon type) on my VW Golf Mark 7 work fine but the lenses are extremely faded and scratched. I have attempted restoring them but not successful. A number of on-line stores (EBay, Amazon etc) list replacement lenses for sale and I would like to try using these before I resort to buying complete (and expensive) headlamp units. I know the lenses are sealed into the headlamp body using butyl sealant and have viewed a couple of YouTube videos which demonstrate how to remove/replace lenses by heating the complete headlamp unit in an oven to soften the seal. Can anyone provide their experience (good and bad!) of doing this on a Golf Mk7 and any tips? Tx

    what best value replacement shocks for golf mk7 1.4 ?

  7. Started by Stan,

    Have a mk7 Golf and the stop start engages whilst travelling at 40mph and even when it's switched off. Local VW garages says it doesn't show as a fault when it's plugged in, consequently there's nothing they can do, really? Anybody else had this, thanks

    Hello, is there anyone out there that could point me in the right direction for purchasing some parts for this car online? Seems to be very difficult to source anything other than service / maintenance parts for my car here in New Zealand and I'm hoping there's a better supply in the UK! Advise / suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.

  11. Hi all, My car (mk4 pd150) recently had to have a new alternator, auxiliary belt, and battery after the old alternator died. My issue isn't wholly fixed as after this work the alternator warning light comes on when my car goes over 2k revs. The garage told me I would need to get an auto electrician to look at the issue as they can't do that sort of work. I called the electrician and he seemed pretty confident that the garage fitted the wrong alternator. I rang the garage up and they checked the part and they are confident that it is correct. I have the auto electrician looking at my car on Tuesday but wondered if anyone else has any idea what is going on or if…

    Hi to everybody, I need some help please. My ignition barrel broke and the "mechanic" as changed the barrel the cluster the bcm the ECU and the gateway modules but the abs lights flash. The car drives as it should but I am unsure how to sort the abs problem. I do have the original modules but fear the mechanic as made a major problem as he did not change the abs module at the same time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any advice.

    Hi just wondering if any Golf owners have achieved noticeable reductions in road noise by changing tyres. My recent purchase came with Gt radial FE2 tyres which are OK but the road noise can be excessive on some surfaces, but it still better than the BMW active tourer. I know that the EU tyre ratings for noise don't necessarily relate to internal noise levels.

  16. My Washer Pump supply plug is broken and supply cables mangled. VW dealer can supply the plug only but cannot confirm the cable sizes. Febi can supply a plug already fitted with cables, but I need advice on size of cables. Any advice please?

  17. I need help ! I have a 2003 1.6 petrol 16 valve Golf Match and have been told that the crankcase ventilation PCV valve has failed causing the engine to "hunt" and the EPC and Engine Warning Lights to come on. VW say the part is no longer supplied since last June and there is no replacement. Looking at similar VW parts there's no exact match and no scrapyard seems to have the part (036103464AC). There are similar codes e.g. ending AB but Volkswagen say they are not compatible. Can anyone help as it seems madness to scrap a perfectly good car for the sake of a £40 plastic valve ! Opening the oil filler allows the engine to run fine !
