Top 20 2003 Volkswagen Golf Questions & Answers

The three types of auto emissions are evaporative emissions, refueling losses, and exhaust emissions. if getting a check engine light have vehicle scanned for trouble code

As far as the engine cover, is this what you wanted?

There’s probably a misfire in the cylinders. Have the computer scanned for error codes. You may need a new mass air flow sensor, oxygen sensors, spark plugs and ignition coils. The smell is most likely burning fuel as the car tries to inject more fuel to compensate for the misfire.

yes clean out the drain holes at the bottom of the door normally 3 slots near the edge of the door next get a sheet of clear plastic and using a good sealant adhesive stick the plastic around every opening of the inner panel of the door That stops water splashing out of the holes against the trim and running into the car cost tube of sealer , sheet of plastic and your time

Try to leave the car overnight so when it is tested it must be cold. The fault will show uo only when cold. Cold start valve is at fault.

I, feel sorry for you, after reading your problem, but don't worry you visit the Reliable-Store they will help you for sure Polo

I don't know. Look at it and see!!!

never saw where you had the fault codes read would have been a good place to check first but you can still do it now to save money

The rear door lock actuator has failed in the door locking unit this is a common problem you can manually unlock the door to replace the latch if you didn't have the deadlocking on if you cant try pressing the locking button twice so when the car is locked the flashing red light is not blinking ie off on the drivers. Doing this usually causes the faulty lock to release the dead locking so you can pull the inside handle to unlock the door.

When you say shopping you mean Stalling right. If yes then the usual cause is a failing Relay 109 which is the main power relay . The early golf had a grey relay which failed due to dry solder joints etc the modified black relay was issued to elevate the issue. Relay 109 supplies power to these , Glow plug relay - Fuse 32 ECM Fuel quantity adjuster - Fuse 34 Cold start injector Waste gate bypass regulator valve (N75) Change over valve (N239) EGR vacuum regulator valve (N18) Mass air flow sensor (G70) - Fuse 43 Clutch vacuum vent valve (if equipped) Brake vacuum vent valve Relays for preheating coolant (if equipped) Crankcase ventilation heating element The ECM supplies power (and sometime ground as well) for: Fuel cutoff valve Cruise control switch Manifold (intake) air pressure/Intake air temperature sensor Needle lift sensor Engine speed sensor Engine coolant sensor Closed throttle position switch (part of "go" pedal) Kickdown switch (part of "go" pedal) Throttle position switch (part of "go" pedal) Fuel temperature sensor Modulating piston displacement sensor The ECM also communicates to the instrument cluster electronics and transmission control module (on automatics). As a result of this, you can see why if the relay starts to cause power to flicker, or voltage drops, for all of these components, the results can be "unpredicatable" and none of them desireable.

90'C or 190'F

Not fuse-- if the other front & rear lamps work

Take a look at the reservoir o top f the master cylinder t has a man and min mark

Hi. This can be worn or foweled spark plugs. A leaking injector can also cause this.

look for a vacuum line leek under the hood

to remove the lower knee panel if you look at the lower edge of panel you will see 3 T20 torque screws remove the screws. Where the fuse box is the whole end panel prizes out its only clipped in. The knee panel is in two halves carefully remove each half its only clipped in place. be careful on the radio side of the panel. once removed you will find another panel there are more T20 torque screws holing this panel. once removed you can get to the fuel pump relay in the relay plate.

Depends on the model. On the 2.0 it is easy. Intake manifold is in two pieces. Take of the fly by wire connection on the throttle body and the connecting hose that goes to the air cleaner. Then look for the Allen bolts on the upper intake taken them out and make sure you put them in a good place so you do not lose them. Then you need to do the same with the lower manifold and taken the Allen bolt out as well.and it will gave you access for injectors and spark plugs. If you have the VR6 like a GLI or GLX then the hole front of the car need to come off! Not too bad it takes 30 minutes to take a part. YouTube has plenty of videos that show how to take it off. Leave the AC connections in place this way there is no need to recharge the AC system. Then when you bend down you can see the bolts on the bottom of the manifold. These are a one time use and need replacing when taken off. The intake gasket needs to be replaced as well. After replacing my valve cover gasket I spent $800 plus in parts and these were my jobber prices as well. VR engines in general are expensive to.work on. On the 1.8 turbos it is the same procedure you have to take the front of the car.

There is a relieve valve inside the part that holds your oil filter. It sounds like it may be stuck open which causes too much oil pressure to be relieved on the filter causing it to blow. So this art needs to be taken off and inspected.
