Thanks ghost, I do however feel slightly embarrassed by this, I think the firing squad would be too good for me to tell the truth!! It's a fools mistake, but as you say I have cleared the engine of water. I pulled the drain plug on the water jacket and then I took all of the hoses out and squeezed o...

I have 9 litres But I have a system full of frozen water to go with it. I have learned a major lesson today that having not enough anti freeze in these vehicles is playing with fire and plain stupid. I have just got back in from a 5 hour stint and my balls are like icycles! I still have been unable ...

thanks ghost I have the comma red too, 15 quid for 5 litres.

hi ghost sorry mate should have been more specific, bleed it completely to put in new antifreeze.

I tried mate but as I say the details were taken off immediatly by a mod as I had just put it out for offers. I'd only realised they'd done this about 3 days later at which point it needed to be off my drive as I had 2 cars and a van and the missuss wasn't happy!! I would have much rather seen it go...

I know theres lots of info on this but a lot of it is conflicting. I 've looked on the wiki that says jack up and the haynes says no need. Pro...

Such a shame, I scrapped a perfect full AAZ tdi golf mk 3 the other day, I advertised on here but it got taken off by the mods as it had no price, my fault I never read the rules It had 145k but was well serviced with a perfect engine and box with new clutch 10k ago, just wasn't worth me having tyre...

Cheers Martin.

Just thought i'd enquire as to a problem that I have had for some time now. On acceleration form standstill the van sometime slips out of 1st gear making a slight crunching sound. All other gears are fine and when in motion the gearbox is very smooth and works as it should. Hasn't really bothered me...

Finally solved, clogged fuel pipes and flat battery as tried to start it too much and drained, thanks for the help everyone

thanks very much for your help with this, I will try the suggested when the light permits tomorrow, i may change the filters and renew the the hoses as a matter of due course!

off to the garage to fill the jerry can again! will let you know when i get back!

im confused! I put a jerry can full of fuel in the van last night and there was no fuel on the floor, where is my fuel going!! When I say I cleared it i poked a wire through the hole on the fuel tank and could feel no blockage. I assumed that there was not enough fuel in there for it to come out of ...
