vw golf 1996 i have a problem with radio ......... everytime safe 2 and i wait along ............. i need to put the code what can i do?
"2 safe" means that your radio was in safe mode, and then the code was improperly entered 2 times. you either need to disconnect your battery and leave it for up to 4 hours (i've been told), or leave your key in the ignition for around an hour.
once it comes out of "2 safe" mode, then it will just say SAFE and give you the numbers 1-0-0-0. You just need to enter the 4 digit code (using your pre-set numbers 1-2-3-4 to change the numbers), then hold the seek > button and your radio should come on.
If you don't have the code, call VW. they'll find your code for free. they did for me. if not they'll charge like $50 or something.

I own a 94' Mk3 Golf GTI, which has been stood for few months and battery has now gone flat. After charging the battery, I've found that the Remote Central Locking will not open the car, or turn off the Immobiliser or alarm. Central locking works with Key, but the engine will not start because the immobiliser is de-activated only with the Key Fob. I've replaced the batteris in the Key Fob / remote, and it appears to work, but the car just will not register anything from Fob...
I want to sell the car for parts, but cannot prove the engine works until I sort out the Immobiliser.
How can I find the immobiliser and fix it, or just by-pass it to get engine started??
Hope someone can help me..... Thanks!
just unplug the immobiliser unit. its behind the glove compartment for rhd models.

I have a VW Polo P Reg has an immobiliser problem, the immobiliser wont start the car, when remote is pressed nothing happens, the alarm dos'nt go off as it normally does when working. The battery has been checked and is fully charged any other ideas? Is it possible to reset the immobiliser or disconnect it altogether replies gratefully received.
if not the key probably the reciever in the ignition switch for the immobilizer transponder

Hi. WHen I turn my ignition switch on, without starting the engine, should the fuel pump pressurize and shut off, or continue to run making a hissing sound. it also makes this sound when being driven. Seems like fuel pressure regulator making the noise. Car just quit on me while idleing, burned out starter.
your fuel pump should cycle on until the proper fuel pressure is achieved then it should shut off

when the ignition is switched on, there is no sound from the fuel injection charging. the engine turns over but does not fire up? VW Mk 3 Golf GTI. (R Reg)
fuel relay could be faulty. i think its number 30 or 167 in the fuse box under the driver side steering. it could also be the fuel pump or connector on the fuel pump under the black metal plate under your trunk carpet. you could try manually throwing in fuel into the intake to make sure its not your car's ecu or ignition system. if it starts and stays running it could be what took me a few months to discover after i had intermittent problems. there a small vacuum hose from the fifth injector on a 1997 mk3 gti (4 cylinder) that connects to the injector rail. i think its some kind of activation for the electronic injectors. my pipe was broken and i just cut it and my car hasnt been better since! i know this is an old question but i hope it helps someone out there!

Im having a really hard problem finding diagrams of the clutch or even general motor area, does any body have a site or some they can send me via email?
Reach deep down in your pocket for a $20 bill, use it to buy a haynes manual from your local parts store, amazon or haynes.com. The time and blood you save may be your own;~). If this manual doesn't save you more than $20 of your time ... then you don't value your time much. All diagrams for everything, clutch, tranny, full motor rebuild, suspension, wiring .. you name it.
good luck,
please rate all solutions

I was looking for the 12v accessory / cigarette lighter fuse which isn't part of the series of ''easy to get to'' fuses. I searched EVERYWHERE until I happened to find this solution posted by RazFL!

Thank you RazFL !
If you have a 199x Golf / Jetta you're looking for a blue 15A fuse located at the TOP LEFT of the ENTIRE fuse-relay assembly which is pretty high up there (right above relay locations 19, 20 in RazFL's diagram).
To get access there I had to remove the felxible plastic/vinyl faceplate surrounding the ''easy to get to fuses'' and remove the bottom ''knee paddding'' panel under the steering wheel.
It is still not easy to get to, (only one hand will fit) you have to be one of those ''nimble'' handed guys that can work on parts by touch without actually seeing the part, like working with cables behind an entertainment center.
Thanks, I found the fuses I was looking for. Just one note - if your fuse box is like the one in my Golf, there's a little lever on the left hand side that allows you to release the fuse box from the stand and drop it down for easier access.
