Volkswagen Owners Club

Hi Rob Common problem this one, but can't seem to find any definitive answer but suggested faults lie in the Haldex controller or even the oil level being low in the unit....worth checking out everything related to the electrical connections to and from the unit. Let us know what you find

Hi....welcome to the Forum The auxiliary port is at the back of the unit and you would need to acquire one of these to fit into it once you have removed the unit and found somewhere to route it to (e.g. the glovebox) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Seat-Skoda-Aux-IN-Input-Adapter-for-IPOD-MP3-/270727493449?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f089db749

Hi You should be able to obtain the code from a local VW dealer.....may have to go in for them to look it up and take the registration documents with you but otherwise they usually do this for free

I would check for a vacuum leak as this could cause the symptoms you describe. Listen for any hissing under the bonnet

Hi Andy Have a look at these springs on Euro Car Parts they all say with or without sports suspension (Sportline) so I would say that this is the only limiting factor to choosing a replacement unless you go for lowered springs. https://www.eurocarparts.com/coil-spring Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor

Hi ....welcome to the Forum The only simple solution I can think of is Airbag suspension as a bolt on which would raise the vehicle and maintain the ride height Beyond that, sorry cannot think of any other way

not sure....but one way to find out, fit it and see if the light goes out may need to clear any stored codes (if any)

All airbags can be fitted by yourself as long as the battery has been disconnected for around 30 minutes to allow any electrical charge to dissipate. The SRS system looks for a resistance when the ignition is switched back on and as long as it finds the correct resistance then it the light will go out and the system becomes active. I have never encountered any sort of coding required to fit replacement SRS components.

it will be plug an play, once you have reconnected the battery the system will recognise the correct resistance and accept it for use.

Hi....welcome to the Forum You could try a reputable company who sell secondhand squib rings that would be perfectly useable and safe to fit A few on eBay but which ones to trust, well not sure about that one

Cathy Feel free to post up some pics of the T4 and let us know how you get on with converting it to a camper

Hi Depends on the year and model of VW as some would have a self adjusting method for actuating the clutch.....it could be that which has altered over a period of time. Just watch the pedal doesn't drop to the floor which is also a common fault on some models

Hi Niall....welcome to the forum It suggests that there is an issue with the engine and its gone into Limp Home mode. I would scan any fault codes after clearing the memory to see if it is current or just a glitch. Let us know how it goes

Hi Harry....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard Post up a pic of the Polo when you get it

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

Hi...welcome to the Forum Simple answer.....I'm not sure! What are the benefits of replacing the system?

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 definitely a VW man then ! 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 Cheers

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

Hi Thanos...welcome to the Forum I suppose it is a case of taking what you're given in this case, although I would ask people to take off their shoes upon getting in :-)

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 Let us know how you get on with it
