Golf/GTI VI :: TDI Coolant System Malfunction / Not Working
This morning when I started up my car the coolant light flashed red, an audible warning chime sounded and the MFI read that I need to check the manual. Because the light was flashing, the manual says there is an engine coolant system malfunction and I need to take it to the dealer. The car was completely cold at the start, so I turned it off, then back on and there was no warning. I drove to work and the temperature gauge read right where it should be the whole way. This afternoon, when I started it up to go home the same thing happened. By the way, the car has only 4800 miles on it.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2004 - A/C Malfunction - Coolant Temp Hits 218 Then Fan Works?
I have an 04 F350 and I was wondering if the fan is supposed to be locked up when the A/C is on. In max A/C with the fan on 3 it's barely keeping cool in the 95 degree heat we have been having. If I rev the engine I don't hear the fan noise like I do when the coolant temp hits 218 and the fan roars. Freon was replaced several months ago, along with receiver/dryer and orifice tube when I did the HG's. The A/C shop drew a vacume and did not find any leaks.

Okay so recently I was driving my 2000 Jetta and the coolant temp light came flashing on, when I went to check the coolant I was surprised to discover that it was like a mud brown color, almost looks like peanut butter. From everything I have read this can be from a few things, either rust build up that is gunking everything up and oil getting into the coolant somehow. I'm pretty sure its rust build up but I was wondering what everyone thinks about this, I was also not using G12 coolant which I'm told now is the premier brand for VW's.
View 3 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: TPS Sensor / TB Malfunction
so I have been getting a 'hiccup' if u want to call it that, with the tps sensor and/or throttle bodie. every so often I like to scan my car for kicks :p and noticed that (not all the time) my g188 or g187 tps leave a code but no CEL. I know I been getting an odd bog like feel when flooring from a stand still or low RPM and have done some reading on it, the tps could be related to that and since I do get a code but no failure I want to see if maybe it's going bad? also since the tb and tps are one unit and $$$ how often do they go bad?

My radiator went the other night, just after i took my car in for a 20k service. My car has 19k miles. Obviously things like this shouldn't happen. Regardless it's in the shop being fixed.
View 10 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: UM E85 Tune Malfunction
I have the VF-stg II s/c kit with a UM E35 tune, it seems to have a problem mapping or something when in Launch control mode. If I don't turn off the Launch control before I start driving it will cut rpm's around 3k then kick back in after it thinks for a second, also the engine light comes on/ flashes when the power cuts out. It does this especially hard when going from first to second. It does have no lift shift, but not lifting off the gas when shifting doesn't stop the engine cough.
Should also mention that the launch control doesn't seem to work all the time, only once in a while, will the engine max the revs at 3k on start like it's supposed to when LC engaged.
Currently I have a warning light for Performance malfunction in cooling system, which is also confusing because I have replaced both my CTS and Thermostat , however whether or not the MIL is on the LC doesn't work correctly (I clear the code when it comes back) seems intermittent as I can drive a week or so before it comes back on.
Golf V R32 :: A/C Malfunction - Fan Won't Working
Couple days ago I drove to work, everything worked fine but fired up everything to drive home and fan wouldn't blow anything on any of the settings. Checked all the fuses and didn't find anything burnt out. Drove home last night and it kicked on as soon as I started the car. I've read up on the resistor that can go bad but it seems that would result in a blown fuse. Can't seem to find anything on the fan kicking on and off whenever it feels like it?
View 1 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Stock Exhaust Malfunction
Not sure if this is inherent to the exhaust setup on the R32, but had I noticed quite a bit of carbon build up on the driver's side tip versus the passenger side tip which was nearly clean.
This morning, I had it idling to warm up and with the exhaust vapor visible, there seemed to be about 3 times as much coming from the driver's side. Is this normal or should I get it checked out? I know that it's not gonna be exactly even, but it's exhausting probably 75% from one side...
Golf V R32 :: Braking Malfunction When Downshifting
When I downshift while braking, especially in the lower gears, it feels like the brake pedal depresses further. And why does this happen?
Also, do people find you get cleaner downshifts if you have the gas pressed down a little, or do you downshift while braking, or just downshift without either?
Golf/GTI VII :: Parking Sensors Malfunction
I live in the Cleveland area and we got pelted with snow yesterday. For the most part, the car did great. Great traction and visibility while driving on low lit roads...It was only 28 degrees so it threw the warning for black ice which caught me off guard lol.
Then as I'm going to stop I hear beep beep beep beep beep!!!!
The parking sensors start saying there's something in front of me within inches....yet there's nothing within 50 feet. Every time I went under 10mph it kept doing this...well I got home and see that a small layer of snow was covering the sensors. Granted I can turn off the beeping and such but in a place like Cleveland there's usually a ton of snow and I can see this getting annoying really fast. This is my third car with parking sensors and the only one to react to a tiny layer of snow....
Golf V R32 :: AC Malfunction - Don't Blows Cool Air
1) no cool air at all from AC
2) low pressure side shows 0 even after adding some refrigerant
3) ac compressor engages. I can hear a slight load on the motor when I push the ac button
4) when pressing the ac button the fans don't automatically come on. They should come on right
Golf IV R32 :: Airbag Malfunction While Stalling
lately i have been getting an airbag fault after accidentally stalling the car. I can clear it w. my VAD, but it comes back. I know, i know, the obvious cure here is to never stall the car, but the last time the fault came up, i was only turning the car onto the "accessories" position to check the outside temp.

Golf VI R :: Remote Malfunction - Windows Won't Roll Up
I was doing the mod to use my remote to roll down my windows and to roll them back up...
worked great the first time... then the 2nd time I tried it the passenger rear window would not roll up... 3rd time the driver passenger window would not roll up...
Golf VI R :: Clutch Malfunction - Hard To Shift In / Out
Today, driving the car around town it was suddenly really hard to shift in/out of first when the car was stopped. Driving, no problem at all. Then within the ~15-minute drive, it got progressively worse.
Got the car home, checked and noticed that my HPA short shifter was wearing out (the splines), so I threw on the stock piece and figured everything would be ok... not the case. Here's what's going on:
- When the car is off, I can shift through all gears easily (and into the proper gears as far as I can see.. which tells me that shifter alignment should also be fine)
- When the car is off, and (for example) I have the car in 1st - I can let off the ebrake and the car doesn't roll (it's in gear), when I press the clutch, it will roll
- When the car is RUNNING, I can't shift in/out of any gears at all. This morning it was just really tough, and it was actually easier if I didn't have the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.. but now I can't at all if the car is running
- No signs of anything leaking under the car
- The car is APR Stg 3 and I have about 50k miles on a stage 2 clutch. Prior to this, I didn't notice any slipping, weird noises when shifting, etc.
Sound like either master/slave clutch cylinder? Or more like a clutch issue itself?
Golf IV R32 :: Electrical Malfunction - Battery Seems To Be Dead Sometimes
My car has the original battery and it hasn't given me issue. Even a few weeks back when most of the country was really frozen and the car was parked outside, it started fine.
Last week after a work day in the parking lot, she was dead-dead. No dome light, no cluster, no lock LED. After 5 minutes tethered to a friend's battery via jumpers, it quickly showed interior electricity but the starter strained. 5 minutes more and the car started like nothing happened. Last weekend after a movie, the car was dead-dead again. I opened the door to see if I could hear the starter to determine how dead it was and the dome/cluster lights came back and it started fast.
The car sat for 36 hours or so and started fine, even after pretty substantial temp drops. Got around town for the past 2 days, no issue.
Today the car was dead again. Jumped it off my Mk2 and went on my way. It started fine and got me to Advanced Auto where their battery tester read 400 CCA and their info showed spec was 430 CCA. They didn't want to sell me a battery yet and suggested an overnight trickle charge and to monitor the issue.
If it was just a dead battery requiring a jump, I'd replace it. But the other oddities + the seemingly good test #'s makes me wonder what else I'm seeing.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2009 - Codes Came On / Throttle Malfunction
I have a 2009 gti and been having some problems with my throttle. Few codes came up for the longest time on and off. So one day after work I started my car and it started just didn't idle high then quit on me so I decided to take it to a local dealer to have the throttle body adpt and it was fine for about a week. Then same codes came back on witch was my angle sensor 2 throttle and position sensor too. So I got a new throttle body been a month I've had no problems until today. It stalled on me so I scanned it and codes for my valve was malfunctioning.
View 1 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Rear View Camera Malfunction?
Picked up a mk6 tdi a couple weeks ago (my first vw), and yesterday my rear view camera started acting up. And by acting up I mean, the screen only displays black, and the camera is stuck open, protruding under the badge and will not close. I've checked to make sure everything is still plugged in, and it is. I'm not exactly sure what to try next?
