Citi golf Sometimes when I'm driving the dash and radio lights flicker and the car just stalls. It then re-sets the clock on the vehicle and it starts up and goes again like nothing has happened. This has happened a couple of times now. Please could you give a any suggestions as to what the cause could be?

SOURCE: Hi, problem with 2007 VW Citi Golf radio security code.

The radio is in Lock-Out mode. You only get two attempts to enter the code, then it enters Lock-Out mode.
Put the key in ignition and turn on the radio for an hour (maybe a bit more). The radio should reset itself after about an hour and then you can re enter the code.

SOURCE: My 1999 VW new beetle stalls when it warms up.

The thermostat on your volkswagon helps the engine keep operating at a predetermined temperature for best fuel economy and engine performance. However, the thermostat mechanism wears down after months of use and subsequently fails. If stuck in the closed position, the thermostat will not allow coolant to circulate, causing the engine to heat up dangerously; if stuck in the open position, the engine will never reach proper operating temperature, causing fuel consumption and poor engine performance. In either case, the thermostat must be replaced. Its fairly cheap

SOURCE: car starts and drives then cuts out

before going to a garage if you can find a mobile electrician on yellow page it would be ideal i'm a mechanic not an electrician get a diagnostic check i'm sure he or she will give you a solution or don't just take it to the garage yet most probably they will also get a motor electrician in and have it checked them selves you will believe me HAVE TO PAY ATLEAST DOUBLE that amount oh by the way what is the mileage and what engine oil do you use

Sometimes the car won't start and the dash lights and the radio lights flicker

Best place to start is the positive lead on the battery . Remove the lead and clean battery pole and terminal using sand paper until you have shiny syrfaces. Replace the lead and tighten the terminal . Check the battery for charge condition as what you describe indicates a flat battery

1999 Chevy Venture stalls while stopped and sometimes while driving

Well it could be several differant things .It depends on how it stalls .If it just cuts off in an instant meaning its running good one second and the next it stops running completly then its likely an electrical problem . But if it starts sputtering and looseing power then stalls its more likely a fuel related problem witch is more likely .My best guess would be a colged fuel filter or a bad fuel pump .If you arn't getting engine lights comeing on or even if you are and then they go out by it self the fuel filter is the first thing to look at and its the easyest and cheapest thing to do .The filter on your vehicle will be located under the drivers door and mounted to the inside of the frame rail .On a 99 if its never been changed its time it should be changed every 4 to 5 years . I can't say for sure but it sounds like the most likely problem and it can't hurt it costs about 10 dollars .See if it helps good luck

Dash lights blink, engine stalls then runs on 1997 Buick LeSabre

Given the amount of electronic's on your vehicle , an control modules , have a full vehicle scan done . Not at a parts , thier diagnostic tool will not check BCM -body control module , Instrument cluster , air bag module codes . Your vehicle maybe have communication problem between modules . Suggest you google GM class 2 serial data communication network .
