    I think it may be better to use a scan tool to check the errors and reset the lights from there
  2. Volkswagen Owners Club
    Thanks for posting the solution that will be helpful to other members with this issue

    Well I suppose if they work and have done for that amount of miles then they should be good to fit. Not sure if you have to code them in though?

    Thats a tough one and I can only imagine the best way forward would be to replace the seat with something more suitable to you. Scrapyard would be my first port of call for a replacement seat

    I would be tempted to pull off the trim in the boot area which may lead you to find the problem. Managed to resolve a similar issue on a Toyota recently and it turned out to be a plastic clip that had dropped into the latch mechanism

    Engine mounts? Subframe mounts? Anti-Roll Bar Links? Any of the above can cause a similar noise

    It would be advisable to scan the ECU to see what fault codes are stored in there. Could be anything from engine management to ABS related faults, maybe something simple though

    It looks like the vacuum hose from the Brake Exhauster which is driven from the engine. It would be quite vital to get this sorted as soon as possible. Looks like there are some other hoses that have some chaffing wear on them as well

    The window regulator is cheap to buy and relatively easy to fit if you have basic handtools List of parts on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=volkswagen+golf+mk7+drivers+side+window+regulator&_sacat=131090

    I believe it is the turbo variable vanes which are stuck in place with carbon and needs cleaning. Here is a link to a cleaning kit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323958600044?hash=item4b6d6ff16c:g:basAAMXQfvlSg4~P

    not sure but not worth taking the chance it could well be the auxiliary drivebelt pulley but it sounded more metallic rather than a dry belt noise
  12. Volkswagen Owners Club
    That doesn't sound good and i would take it back to the garage who changed the cambelt to check it out. Quite common for bolts to shear but this is not from overtightening just poor quality bolts used by VW
  13. Volkswagen Owners Club
    may have to ship in from abroad but costs are sometimes cheaper but take into account duties and carriage though
  14. Volkswagen Owners Club
    larger diameter wheels and lower profiles would give the car the stance and improved handling without compromising the suspension ride height too much

    Would ask your local dealer for their estimated timeframe....could be some time with the current world situation and semiconductor issues
