Hi no dipstick on these models there is a level screw on the bottom of gearbox,its a big allenkey with a small one inside if the small one is removed the oil must come dripping out if not the level is lower than the big level screw note do not remove big screw then all your oil will leak out and make sure the car is hot when u check oil level to get rite level.A other thing is I no there is software updates on the gearbox control units so if the oil level is ok get the car scanned at a dealer to check for uptades.hope this helps.regards

Check for a fuel pressure regulator. If you are testing the pressure at the end of the line, the fuel has already passed through the regulator. I'd be willing to bet the pressure coming from the pump(s) directly is up to snuff.

Check the wires in between the door and the chasis. Remove the rubber insulation and check for broken wires. This is a common problem. I also have a Golf 5 and recently same thing happened on my deriver side. Onces I resoldered the wires and insolate them seperatly so that no open wires are visible, I reconnect and the alarm + door worked with the remote.

The G-Man

see if you can get me a global code then lets fix this

if it is a diesel it means you need to replace the brake light switch.

The mechanism is bent or out of adjustment. I have opened these by (use something plastic so you don't harm the paint) prying the door toward the hinge side.

Hi,
Please check your fuel sensor for stuck, if you don't experience this problem before.

Lubricate and adjust the release cable, latch and at the button. Adust the hood itself if it looks bent or out of line. Sometimes a body shop person can get the metal to fit more snugly.

Get the CV joint replaced immediatly! Your could have a catastrophic failure while driving and lose control of your car. The left side might just blow up. I don't want to alarm you but this sounds like a major safety issue.

you must have a air leak between turbo and air intake somewhere so run engine and have a good look but if the old turbo was worn out then this is why it sounds different as its quite normal for these vehicles to sound a bit potent to say the least

Check Ebay, there's tons of MP3 conversions for your car and there are optional replacement radios offered that have Ipod/MP3 port built in

You do not need huge oil pressure to have the oiling system do its job. Pressure can be low, like 20 psi and still lube and protect..... Too high pressure blows seals and the like.... The lubrication system and its pressure depend on all of the clearances to be tight enough (meaning oil pressure lubed areas like cam, crank mains, lifters, rods, etc. So, the top limit of the pressuer is controlled by a relief valve, usually on the pump or the oil filter. this limits the upper amount of pressure that you can develop.

Are you consuming, or burning oil? How many miles before you add a quart of oil? Factories claim a quart in 600 miles okay. But for me, I need 1500 to 2500 miles at one quart is normal....

But Your issue...Are there any other symptoms of anything?

Sounds like you have a miss in mid range.
