sick as fek with this hunk of crap !!! is it just me or do Golfs all have issues with electrics ? i have many issues with mine, thought it was a one off, but i had cause to gain entry to a recent fourmotion which had issues with the door mechanisms ie would not unlock !


i have to play window lottery, they go down but tend to fuck you off when you ask them to go back up. opened the sunroof only for it to get stuck open until i found the manual alen key winder to close it !

i want my T5 back please !

there............ rant over


seriously though there are a few of us on here who have or are into golfs, can anyone give me advice on the electrics ?

I had great fun with a couple of these. One used to drive like a bag of shite or cut out when I put it in reverse. The other used to do the same when I indicated. VAG bollox at its best

They most definately do it on purpose. Working on VAGs just enfuriates me. There are so many occasions where I can see a much simpler solution to assembly but they do it the awkward way. Oh, and have you ever done an airfilter on a Beemer 320d? Or a 320i coupe. Fucking pain in the knackers.

My current and last A4 seem to go through engine sensors.

VAC pump for the central locking died on the old one, was a right pain in the arse. Current one has celanoids on each door...

That said, I've never really had any issues getting to fit/fix stuff on the audis.

had an audi 80 before that. Fantastic car. Bullet proof and fast as fook

Took a lump out of my hand doing the same thing. There's a nice pointless sharp metal bracket just behind the passenger side head light (RHD). Well thought out VW.

I always liked my Mk3 Golf - only problem I had was with the boot lock which didn't work with the key because the lock was gummed up - wasn't realy an issue as the central locking took care of things.

as for VW, I was watching fifth gear last night and they were talking about the new golf - apparently the big change for VW is to make it easier to assemble and cut costs - maybe the next generation of VWs will be easier to work on
