Hi guys, please assist me on this my 2008 Tena Citi Golf has got a problem. The rev counter is moving up and down and is not idling smoothly. I have changed the oxygen sensor, map sensor, thermostat.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Land Phones Category. The things you changed have no bearing on the symptoms and clues. Clean Throttle Body and MAF (mass air flow sensor), as opposed to Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor.

My 2002 golf TDI turbo won't engage

There are several possible reasons why the turbo on your 2002 Golf TDI might not be engaging:
  1. Boost pressure issue: The most common cause of a non-engaging turbo is a boost pressure issue. This can be caused by a leak in the intake system, a damaged turbocharger, or a clogged air filter.
  2. Malfunctioning wastegate: The wastegate is a component that controls the amount of exhaust gas that flows through the turbocharger. If the wastegate is malfunctioning, it may not allow the turbo to engage properly.
  3. Faulty turbocharger control solenoid: The turbocharger control solenoid is responsible for regulating the amount of pressure that goes to the turbocharger. If the solenoid is faulty, it may not be able to control the pressure properly, leading to a non-engaging turbo.
  4. Electrical issue: There may be an issue with the electrical components of the turbo system, such as a faulty wiring harness, sensor or control module.
To diagnose the problem, you can check for any visible leaks in the intake system or damage to the turbocharger. You can also check the wastegate for proper function and inspect the turbocharger control solenoid for any signs of damage or failure. If you are unsure how to perform these checks, it is recommended to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

2002 Volkswagen Golf Mk4. Automatic transmission not engaging 3rd and 4th gear. I did oil and filter change, and yet the problem persists. Any idea on what next to do?

Question edited with a GUESS at the make and model. Question moved to the guessed make and model category. All questions need 'year make model'. You need a good man with a scan tool. Transmission Position Sensor is my guess. It is a known issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=2002+Golf+not+engaging+3rd+and+4th+gear ..

2010 Volkswagen Golf key off directional signal start flashing on their own directional signals will not work under normal conditions. I replaced signal switch still flash on their own key off.

nothing worse than flood damage, if full dryout is not a cure? garage it and heat the garage for a week?(portable heater are sold and rented) bad harnesses and vast electronics damage. do not use acid based vinegar use electronic spray. acid causes more corrosion like putting out a fire with gasoline
