I recently bought a 20th and instead of the turbo going SWOOSH it sounds like the gate is opening and shutting rapidly as the pressure is exhausted. What is the cause?
View 14 RepliesI'm new to VW but I just replaced a manifold hose and now my car keeps shutting off but if I let it sit for like 5 min. It starts right up. The hose that came on it was plastic n I switched it to a rubber one from advanced.
View 12 RepliesI have problem in my alarm siren, need to say it's an original electronic with 3 pins connector, the problem is i don't hear any sound to the siren when it's going off , when i arm it i do hear 1 peep and when i disarm i do hear 2 peeps, but when i open any door it's just blinking the hazard without any sound! i checked via VAG-5051 in 46 then 02 to find faults, i found 1 fault : H12 no communication!
When I do 46 then 03 to operate the siren i do hear it just peeping ! I wondered if the 5051 telling me no communication with the sirenH12, then how do the siren peeps in lock and unlock?
Recently bought a black 20th for my girlfriend for Christmas. Any ways, so I floored it from a dig, and the ASR light kept coming on during acceleration and shutting off between shifts, just wondering what the situation is.

Anyways, lately if I'm just cruising around the city in 5th, or on the highway, the engine will shut off completely. Electrical still on, battery light and all that jazz does not come on unless the RPMs go all the way down, then I have to actually start the car up again. Takes alot longer to crank afterwards.
Sometimes I will be driving and it happens, but I keep my foot down on the throttle, and just wait and engine will kick back in hard as hell!
The key FOB and the rear gate not opening? Salesman says the button is for the rear gate only to unlock it and not open it. Need to confirm whether it is supposed to open the trunk or just unlock it?

View 5 RepliesWas thinking what should tire pressure be on wheels during summer time, assuming you have stock wheels. More pressure = you go faster/ have better gas mileage, but have less handling ability. Less pressure = better handling but slower speed/ lower gas mileage.
View 1 RepliesI just replaced my clutch and have put everything back together, and bled my clutch line, but I have absolutely no pressure still in my pedal. I read that u need to make sure your brake fluid reservoir is filled to the max, but following the clutch line, I dont see it going to the reservoir? I also read that the master cylinder is behind the clutch pedal, does the master cylinder hold any fluid that maybe I lost during the bleeding? I'm at a loss right now.
View 12 RepliesI am wanting to install a oil pressure gauge to go along side my boost gauge in my double pod on top of my steering column, how to do this?
View 4 RepliesSo the problems continue with the final payment of car. So now my oil pressure light comes on after driving for 10 minutes and sometimes goes off with i push in the clutch or keep it under 1500 rpms. Enough oil in car. What could be going on?
View 10 RepliesStarted losing pressure on my clutch pedal yesterday. When I would push in the clutch pedal it would not push back up to the reset position. It would only come back up half the way. Now today I have a steady ABS light and ASR light on. Checked for fault codes and found no trouble code. Checked brake fluid resevoir for leaks; still has plenty of fluid. Checked slave cylinder bleeder valve for leaks and looks dry. The only thing I think it could be is the clutch master cylinder. If I drive the car for a few minutes I am able to build pressure back up in the clutch, however the ABS light and ASR light still remain while driving. Turning the car off and back on again shuts off the light for a few minutes until I start driving, but the clutch pressure starts back low again.

View 4 RepliesEngine temperature too low. Turbo boost pressure too high. The car has the APR 93 octane program, carbonio intake, and silicone TIP.
What could be causing these codes? The car gets up to temp (190) real quick and stays there, and I don't feel a fluctuation of boost.
ok i don't know if it is a problem or if it is alright but my 18t GLI makes a weird sound in third when I let off the gas. kind of like a whine/grind. I asked the guy i bought it from and he said it has been this way since he bought it too. It sounds like it might involve the turbo but thats just a guess. it only does it in third gear.
View 6 RepliesCar is making a clacking sound, and when i press on the gas to rev it several time my CEL flashes. pulled each wiring harness for my coil pack, and they all seem to be good still. What may be wrong? maybe spark plugs? if that was the case wouldn't pulling the wiring harness from each one pinpoint a certain plug that is loose? i changed my plugs last week, but had no problems until today when i started my car even drove it last night with no issues..???
View 5 RepliesGot an 04 GLI and I have the infamous hazard clicking sound. I replaced the hazard and it's still clicking, even worse than before. I'm going to spray some contact cleaner on the plug to see if that might fix it.
View 2 RepliesFor a couple of weeks, when i put my car in reverse and also sometimes in first, I hear a weird clunking sound coming from under/around my feet when i release the clutch and start taking off....is the clutch gone or going soon???
View 5 RepliesI've been trying to locate the source of the noise that is coming under the car. Specifically below the handbrake. Like something is lose, took the car to a shop to have it inspected, checked the exhaust, and there was nothing there, all clamps there and screws.
It only happens most of the time when the car is cold and it feels all the way from the hand brake to the stick shift. Sounds like a rattle like something is about to go off from the car but I cant imagine what could be. Couldn't replicate the noise at the shop, only when you are driving and the car is in inclined it rattles really bad until the car gets back to the normal position. Specifically in 1st gear .
So my 1.8T GLI is making an odd sound that sounds like it's coming from the right side of the engine. Sounds like a busted bearing of some sort. Not too keen on this engine yet...
View 4 Repliesso i have an automatic GLI its my first automatic VW i put a forge DV and carbino CAI on it yesterday, and compared to my Manual cars the air release sounds a whole lot different. it more or less sounds like a horse blowing its lips around. is that normal sound for auto vechiles.
