is this any help, if not let me know

Better to have the codes read on your car. Get a list for free at most Auto parts stores. They will plug in under your dash, have them print out and explain which codes may be causing the problem. I`m thinking speed sensor, yet can`t be sure.

To start with your Volkswagen might only use G12 coolant and the reservoir is the only way to put it in. Now if the car does not start because of low coolant it doesn't surprise me because Dinamalar the owner of Volkswagen and the other German cars used a lot of worthless and senseless sensors and there is no doubt one on the radiator to shut the car down to keep you from cracking or blowing a head gasket. You have to get the sensor reset . I've worked on a lot of Volkswagens and personally I hate them!

from your description of the damage it sounds like a metal reinforcement got loose (it helps the flat pice of metal such as the hood or trunk lid keep its shape and not flex) though it would help a lot to know year make and model of your car. is the dent only on the impact side of the trunk or did it form a bump on the side that didnt have direct impact, have you tried to pull the dent out? - that also puts tension on the metal and will make a noise. basically if you want to get a better answer let me know about your car and what has been done to it after the damage.

It is an communication error for your drive train system. It communicates on a can bus and is not receiving a signal, possibly ABS. To fix it will need to go to a dealer or V.W. specialty shop who can work on the computer system.

Check contact under steering wheel, cable and ground connection. If all ok then replace horn

Fallow the TOP A/C Line from the Firewall and you will see It in the Front Pass Side Fender Area

If I were going to guess, which is apparently what your mechanic is doing, I would say the problem is in the ignition coil. Ignition coils work ok at low rpm but as the rpms increase the coil will short out and cause the car to miss.

INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION.

could be the starter switch which is not to be confused with the keyswitch... the starter switch is usually located on the steering column, which most times will have to be lowered to access.

U NEED A VAG COM OR VAS OR ODIS TO ACTIVATE BOTH OPTICAL AND ACOUSTICAL RETURN WHEN U LOCK OR UNLOCK THE CAR UNFORTUNATELLY!!!!!

ORIGINAL A/C AT THE CAR??

This could be a number of things. First check the fuse. Then check the fan thermostat, relay and anything else in the fan circuit. On many cars where there are 2 fans, the second only comes on with the A/C. I hope this helps you find the problem.

Lack of fuel. Boost hose off or split. ECU detected Over Boost and engine now in default. Do you get normal power after restart? If so, ECU is limiting power as it has detected a problem. Need scanner to determin what code/s has been set in ECU. The boost hose under the engine on the right side where it goes to the turbo has a habit of coming apart at the clip .

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED A SEALED TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER HAS TO DO THE LEVEL CHECK WITH A SPEICAL TOOL AND A SCANNER
