turn the idling of the engine a little bit higher and this solves your problem

Try replacing the fuse for your back windows or you might have to replace the electric motor that operates the back windows.

replace signal light flasher . there is add position when you use signal then you keep flashing to left or right and no return it will contenous light as parking light to one side

If they went after a spark issue and that did not fix it, then you should test the spark sensor. I am certain you will find it to be bad.

VWs are not well known to have idle issues however, a bad or stuck Idle Air Control valve, or a bad Mass Air Flow meter can cause this issue.

This is normal. Put the key in the ignition and turn it on, don;t start it. It should go off.

cheapest thing to try is the temp. sensor about E20 its under the distrubitor 4 wires in one plug then a clip to take out the sensor, if that dont work try to get a lend of a throttle body and change it to see if that works before buying one as they are dear. hope thats some help

You need to replace the no.# 4 ignition coil!
Don't drive the car with this no.# 4 cylinder misfire, because the catalytic converter will be damaged by unburned petrol!
Just replace the no.# 4 ignition coil! That's all the job.

Remove arms again, make sure motor in park, then attach wipers on bottom of windshield where they set normally when parked.

I assume you mean the impact sensor for the front side airbag? ....inside door void...if you are having problems with this sensor, it will most likely be the wiring / plug between door and "A" pillar

If you need a radiator go to www.rockauto.com they have good parts wholesale and cheap....

Cancel the turn signal ( doubles as a park light switch and warns you audibly that the park lights are on)

Ok........before replacing the thermostat, I would have run the car for 15-20 minutes, then turned the engine offf.......then feel the top and bottom radiator hoses.....if they are the same, and the fan did not come on, then this would be the fault........however, if the top was boiling hot and the bottom was cold this would indicate a faulty thermostat...........

Next step, as the thermostat is new.......run this test again and if the hoses are different temperatures, then this might indicate a blocked radiator......BUT more info required....is the temperature gauge going past half way ?????

It will fit physically, but would be fairly complicated as you would have to also replace all the harnesses and electronic conponents, and you might have an issue with emission laws in your state since the OBDII connector will provide different information than what is expected on inspection. IMO you should look for the same engine, it would make the swap much easier.

Hi, try cleaning out the throttle body.

Hi, have you done a oil pressure check with a guage? If it is low, check the pick up sieve in the sump, see if it is dirty/blocked. If the pressure is good check the the wire from the gauge to the dash cluster for a short to earth.

Take it to the emissions place...they do all that. $10-$20...

Lets start with the simple stuff first. Look under the car see if its leaking gas possibly from the gas tank or the gas line. Then with the car not running look around the engine compartment and see if you see any gas leaking. Also if the gas smell is stronger in the engine compartment. Look at your gas line especially toward the top of the engine you may spot the leak. I need to caution you if the leak is in the engine compartment and your handy and you can repair it that's excellent. But if you do spot the leak it might be very dangerous to drive the car somewhere. Gas leaks can be very hazardous if they are in the engine compartment. If your not handy then I would recommend you contact your local auto repair shop for repairs.

I hope this helps you out, if it does please give me a YES on the web page you just recieved my response on. Thank you.

use a multimeter to check it all out but i would imagine its the resistor but it could be a bad earth as well normally the 4th setting is max power so it could be a switch or just a bad earth ,cannot think of how they work now ,do them all the time golfs but i think its my age which is why i cannot remember
