Volkswagen Owners Club

You may be able to reassemble the components if you remove the vent panel

Could look at engine mounts if you're in the engine bay?

Either of these brands are good but if I have the choice between them I would probably go with LUK as fitted many of them over the years and never had any issues

Sorry to hear your tale of woe! Unfortunately it is the nature of the beast with modern vehicle engineering, once the pump decides its not going to play ball any longer, thats it and game over. Glad your experience was a good result, albeit an expensive one. Roadside cover is always a must but worth doing a comparison of benefits rather than cost between the different companies. What event were you attending at the Pod? (I haven't been there since the '80s)

If it is a common fault with this particular phone then there may be a patch on the internet to download to your phone to solve this issue.

You could try running an supplementary earth lead directly to the wiper motor to see if this is a poor earth issue

Hi....welcome to the Club I suppose it is down to personal preferences.....styling, performance, stance...there's plenty of mods you can do, just depends on financial budgets Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club Feel free to set up a meet in your local area and we can help to promote it to the members. Good to have you onboard

Hi Tony....welcome to the Club Have you considered the tyres may be creating the droning noise? Had this issue with Chinese tyres that were feathering and creating a droning noise and originally considered it was bearings. What drag car do you run at the Pod?

The wipers would run through a relay for timer but otherwise the normal speed operation is controlled through the motor and switches. Out of curiosity, why do you want to find the relay if the wipers are working?

Hi....welcome to the Club First thoughts are it is not a relay as the wipers actually power through the motor. However, it could be a common earth fault (loose, poor earth connection on the inner wing somewhere under the bonnet or loose battery connection) Check also the distribution box on the battery. Otherwise it may a steering column connection to the switches (lights and wipers)

Thanks for the feedback and glad you have resolved it (for now) but definitely worth keeping an eye on how it is wearing

It may well be the crankshaft position sensor or even the system relay but if there is power to the fuel pump it should prime the fuel injectors. I would be checking the spark output and another thing to check is the cambelt hasn't slipped

Hi....welcome to the Club It looks very much like the pads are pressing against the disc evenly as there is signs of corrosion and no sign of lubricant to ease the movement of the pads across the carrier assembly. It would benefit from the pads being removed, cleaning up all components with emery cloth and refitting with some Copperslip in the correct areas. That should cure it!

Hi.....welcome to the Forum Not sure of the exact location but I suppose you could place it you feel happiest with it 🙂

Hi Andy.....welcome to the Club Good luck with your search, plenty of alloys to choose from out there

Hi....welcome to the Club Will see if we can assist with your fault code enquiry Good to have you onboard!

It can be used in the drivers door lock by locking and unlocking to reset the alarm

R134A but may be replaced with R1234yf (co2) as this is a newer gas and would update the R134A

Hi....welcome to the Club Hopefully you should have the nice weather soon to put the top down Good to have you onboard!

Hi.....welcome to the Club Think you've already noticed the difference between a mk3 Golf and the Passat....progress in action 🙂 Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club I would imagine it would be best to remove the door card and see what is occurring with the linkages and if not then it may well be the door lock actuator assembly at fault

Hi Dune.....welcome to the Forum The Fiesta sounds interesting as we are very keen on road trips and the vehicles that take us on epic journeys. Feel free to post up photos of the Fiesta and would be very interested also to see how the Touran progresses over time

If it is a safety issue like a seatbelt not operating correctly then there would be a safety recall https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-recall Worth putting your registration in and check the results

All towbars should be approved and suitable for use in the UK for towing. Best to pop into a local towbar fitting centre in your area and get them to fit it as it would need wiring correctly to the vehicle electronics
