Hi...welcome to the Forum
Simple answer.....I'm not sure!
What are the benefits of replacing the system?
- 1
-
Seized linkage joints?
Worn engine mounts?
Play in linkages?
Clutch worn or damaged?So many possible causes, I would drop it in a garage to have it checked out before you can't select gears anymore.

Hi Brent.....welcome to the Forum

Good to have you onboard

Hi....welcome to the Forum
The fact that it is 'on song' at higher revs suggests that it is something like a vacuum/air leak in the in the inlet manifold or associated trunking which is causing the lumpy running.
A quick emissions test (Oxygen levels) which if higher than zero suggests thats the fault.
Let us know how you get on with it
Cheers, Trevor

Hi Dave
If you list them in the appropriate section (e.g. Golf, Polo,etc) that would be the best bet

Hi Edward....welcome to the Forum
I would be surprised if you couldn't obtain a replacement glass through an automotive glasiers (windscreen company local to you).
Maybe special order and could take some time to come through but not impossible to source
Let us know what you find

Hi Chris...welcome to the Forum
Sorry for the late reply, missed this post.
You could try to close off the 'Fresh Air' vents in the heating system to just allow cabin temperature to remain constant as opposed to outside air affecting the balance (e.g. cold outside + warmer inside = condensation)
Let us know what you find works to resolve this
Cheers, Trevor

I would contact your local VAG dealer to find out....don't think its cheap though

The service would be straight forward enough, nuts and bolts, however you would need special oils for the transmission and would need to look up any special information relating to replacing the fluids.
Not sure that there are any special tools needed though

Hi....welcome to the Forum
I think you will need to bite the bullet and remove the manifold as they seem to build the engines that way now....more work but gives you a chance to clean up the manifold, throttle body and breather system as well.

Hi....welcome to the Forum
they are a pretty good car all round, mostly Golf chassis and mechanicals so going to be a reliable and economical
Good to have you onboard

I think it is quite common for the clutch pedal to creak in use but not sure about the whining noise though....keep an eye (or ear) on that one to hear if it gets any worse over time.

Hi Mark....welcome to the Club
That's the trouble with VWs...they're an addiction
What Dub do you have?

It would probably be best to Google the codes as there is a huge amount of information available on the internet and can be overwhelming sometimes.
Also, be aware that there are historic faults and current faults so maybe worth clearing all codes from memory before carrying out a new scan to see which are currently an issue.
Have fun !

I take it the new one is all okay?
-
I had one a while back and for what it costs it was ideal for most reprogramming tasks....go for it, you can always sell it on if you don't use it enough
-
Not sure with this one....in theory it should work although I would imagine it would have to be programme into the car...but worth giving it a try and if not, then sell the wheel back on as mostly they are quite desirable and plenty of people looking for them.
-
oh dear...result for you though :-)
-
Have you tried GSF or Euro Car Parts?
-
Hi Tony....welcome to the Forums
Strange one!
Wonder if it could be wheel bearing or CV joint if only making noise when turning one particular direction.
Let us know how it pans out

I think that will be all you need as long as it powers up then to programme it all in with VAGcom which shouldn't be too difficult

Hi .....welcome to the Forum
I would definitely say that if the loom is there with the plugs and they attach to the correct control units (not very likely) but it will almost definitely need programming into the car with VAGCom or similar equipment for the new electronics to be recognised by the vehicle.
Let us know how you get on with it

Looking to purchase a VW T4
in New Members Welcome Lounge

Hi Cathy....welcome to the Club
There are so many different type of van out there that look superb and are great driving vehicles.
However, the T4 is not one that is up there at the top of the list, but saying that, they were always reliable compared to the later one
