Very easy to remove you will need 13mm socket,Can be nightmare to put back as bolts will thread if you dont have chair straight.. Best leave chair insitu get a can of carpet cleaner and big towel spray with half can per chair dont be shy! then use steam cleaner and towel .Worst case unzip covers from chairs.

hey its a small world,No don't bother there's just enough space to slip it over :)

Wire bush the hub,tap on a new ring without removing any thing else. Now put car back into gear tighten hub nut torq setiing 150nm then Angle tighten 90 degree. Its is recommended to replace bolt

Hi QUEENIE, Welcome to the forum, To remove door card you will first need to remove black cover behind door latch plain dinner knife works best .Then you will see screw.The panel is held on by yellow clips don't worry if you brake a few there's loads anyway give the panel a hearty pull.Then you see grey membrane. To remove handle open door and you will see 3 hex screws they will undo with ordinary allen key when you take apart handle take aphoto with mobile/camera first so no forgetting how it goes together.To remove key the bareel will need to come out of handle should just fall out if key is right key...might be worth going scrappy's and getting spare handel first.

wouldn't be the first time haynes get it wrong. the red/ black could be tailgate as haynes shows this prefuse, to confirm its fuse 55 5amp block conection 26 to tailgate. but if all works happy days.

Hi there, Alhambra's are more than welome. Its most likley you have a broken wire in the tailgate.open the tailgate under top right rubber seal drivers side , The wire colour your looking for is 0.5 mm red and brown.very often there will be other faults in this area so check all rear lights fog etc, good luck please let us know how you get on

No rsmuppet your on own with your very unique problem. Please use the forum for serious technical problems.Please use the Joke section for jokers although points givern for being a muppet.Lol

If the brake fluid is low there's always a reason,rarely is it a poorly fitted fluid cap . You may have a split pipes, front hose's check for leaky brake seal's .Safest option is to take each wheel off and thoroughy inspect brake's and all lines leading to Abs and servo.

hi there, Do you red flashes like hand brake on when its not ? get some dot4 remove scuttle tray Low brake fuild can also give the effect you've described. possible brake switch on foot peddle for other problem.

hi there, just a few idea's. Valve spring sounds like a red herring have you done compression test ?As chris suggested.Also check your wires for arching..And split in wires going to coil. Try disconnecting your battery for 5 mins and let engine relearn the best setup. Is your oil old tired and wrong type causing Sticky Valve now weather is changing Should be 5w-30 .

Hi there, Suggest you get Vag com Or borrow it. As your Automatic climatic am afraid its Eletric's and motors .The systems with dials, its easier mostly cloths wire control. So in meantime Suggest stick on rear heater, open all roof vents, turn off front heater and use heated window control to get you by.Oh and put on your heated seats. There's a number of things it could be Sunlight sensor centre of dash faulty, making system switch to cold air . Flap motor failure behind dash. While you wait for lead check Fuse Failure Check F29,5A Electrical system,aircon,wiper relay, Aux heat ,heated front screen F34,25 Heater blower F15,30A cooling fan F16,30A Thermo,cooling fan 1 F18,5A Thermo Switch cooling fan 2 F28,10A Abs,Thermo Switch Relays 128

Mind you I can see sparky paul's view also ; Lets say you go on jolly to south of France overloaded with bucket and spade 26 degree heat 10 hour drive ,hit a pot hole on Les Gorges du Verdon at 60 The tyre might react like Simmie Black :rolleyes: . Go with the best load you can't afford is my best advise. Also make sure you have big parachutes fitted to car!

Driven gals with 91 on an early 1.9tdi 2.0 and 2.3 but never on 2.8 what I found Was on the 2.3 the front end was a little bouncey and didn't perform well(understatment) breaking from speed.The others performed well.

I have come across a galaxy ultima 1997 which has just 50000 miles posh kids school runner! I liken it to finding the grail,the ultima has been handed through a family .So I bought it from london and fixed it (mass air sensor) It has service history til 30k and same garage mots for last 6 years.It had a bodged grill repair so sourced an original match. The cream carpet has been covered with a original full length cover so under neath the carpet is new!!As is driver mat.The pedal's amd steering wheel have minimal wear . Its drives better than any galaxy I have ever had. I spent 4 hours shining the original wheel trims.lol.Another 6 just body cleaning with canarbra wax. It wouldn't take much for it to be a concours show car and am sure there isn't meny like it left as often broken for trim seats etc.This is bespoke as it gets. Had it on ramps no rust! original exhaust ! Now here's the crunch I Spent a long time dreaming about owning one unfortunatly. I do not have space to store it or the time to keep wheels shinny. This car is for the enthusiast,I hope it goes it a collector who has time to spend to get it ready for concours.Or someone who justs needs a break with a good car. At the moment this car is strickly for owners club members first. I couldn't believe the miliage. I was like yer right pull the other one, so I checked vosa and am gobsmaked its genuine. Faults/todo list. Aircon,light dent passenger door,cruise control,One wheel is scuffed,plastic v6 engine cover. Price ? Best offers? Whats it worth? please all help decide. If you want to test drive or just admire you're welcome . I will post some pictures tomorrow.

Just a thought!might miles out, but check for blown tail bulbs or might be bad earth connection on osr rear light.Also check any earth points .

Hi fitze, Welcome to forum, When you say revs are between 750-1000 I take it you mean the engine is hunting? so its a process of elimination! Try some basic checks on the coil its the most common of vr6 engine problems. If the coil isn't the problem finding the problem is made alot easier if you buy a diagnostic lead which goes into a usb port something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAG-USB-DIAGNOSTIC-CABLE-409-1-OBD2-II-LEAD-VAG-COM-/220672983446?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3361228196

hi Jonny, Removing the coil's can be tricky and should only be done if absolutely necessary,I say this because its easy to crack the coils and then they arc on engine worst case is small fire and they melt .Some owners think It's is a good idea to have spare coil to hand and keep in glove box .sparks usually have 30k shelf life..Anyway remove the air duct over coils, then the clips on top of coils they can be tricky as plastic hardens gently prise each one some times its eaiser to pull the lot out in one go by gently prising each one (leaving wires on).Whatever you do take your time.They break easy and the evidance of the break might not show until meny miles from home. Early to late coil part numbers as you can see lots of revisions vw trying to get coil right. VW 022905100G VW 022905100D VW 022905100A VW 022905100N VW 022905100K Anyway only remove if you've reached service limit and thensome..

Boohooo sob sob she's left me minxy gone:( :D still the chap who bought it smiled like a cheshire cat and drove off into sunset. Now where's new slinky :D ahh lots of stuff to tinker with which don't need fixing comming up.
