I have 1.4 2005 Citi Chico the engine seemed very sluggish so I checked the spark plugs and it seemed like 1 cylinder was not firing, I replaced the spark plugs but i seem to have the same problem on the same cylinder. The spark plug lead is emitting a spark when held near the cylinder head so i do not think it is the lead. What else could be my problem?

You need to empty the engine from all fluids, tehn remove air filter and other parts, mount your Golf on a bridge and remove the clutch pressure plate assembly mounted on a side of the engine.

You will need special tools to align and mount the new pressure plate, and you will need to follow a procedure to reinstall the clutch without removing the transaxle.

Replacing the clutch is not an easy task for a beginner, if you do it yourself, get the haynes manual with the complete illustrated procedure.

After replacing you will have to adjust the clutch. See CLUTCH REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES.

SOURCE: buzzing problem from my citi golf chico dashboard

the buzzing is most likely the speedo cable ive had a few older cars that do this you might try having someone oil the cable if they can or you can as for the oil light it might be low oil pressure or a bad oil level sensor or even a dirty plug on the sensor

SOURCE: MY VW CITI CHICO 2001 1.4i temperature guage faulty?

good chance you t-stat is stuck open that will cause the temp gauge to not get all the way to normal operating temp. also e.c.t can cause this problem. good luck hope that helps. to bridge your connector it will not really tell you to much if you take a multi meter and check the green wire and put the other wire to ground you can see the signal voltage less then 6v

SOURCE: The heat guage sometimes work and sometimes not.

bad wiring.... gauges are notorious for being troublesome which is why you see the hot rodders often add non electronic analog meters sticking right out of the air grill between the fron glass and the hood. They don't trust the electronic ones and they don't read out nearly as well as the older style.

Clean contacts can solve your problem. I use a brass toothbrush for this. Some places make a fiberglass pen to clean contacts but even an old toothbrush or some 400 grit sandpaper rolled up can help immensely.

Testimonial: "Thanks! Got the same answer from another expert as well. Will be looking into that field now."
