i too was wondering what this was, i noticed from ours that on two seperate occasoins over a month that the dryer was wet with a green oily substance i dried it off and it was fine till a few weekas later, the air con works fine and was recharegd and repaired this year , will it knacket the comp if i dont get it fixed ?

stabiliser link arm, drop link all common names quite a common prob on these cars. some has put piccys on how to change if you look thru past things

yes i had both bosch and trico and they has all got a curve on em. ours a mk 1 as well.

they is special curved blades and car shops sell a bosch twin pack for around ~

hi all whats the exact name for the sensor that mesures the outside temp for the switcjing on of the aux heater the one that clips on the wiper linkage thanks

was watching some front and rear mudflaps for mk1 on ebay but bidding went silly and with postage cost buyer over 50quid yes you was right a full set at fraud dealer only 45 quid no postage.

hi all on our 98 s reg the passenger side wiper is the top one and the first to move i have seen others with the drivers on top, this is on the mk 1 model. will the drivers arm wipe nearer to the edge of the glass in this case and is it a mod i can do ? thnaks

its a small round sensor about the size of your thumb end on a bracket attached to the wiper likage arm in front of the pollen filter just unclip it from the wires and bridge the contact wires with a small mini fuse and hey presto if its working your booster heater will fire up at all times till the water is hot even in summer.

well i thought it be a good idea to bridge the terminals on the temp sensor and see if the heater would fire up after months of none use. a good idea in case its cream crackered to giet it sorted it the dry rather than wait for the cold. i thought it wasnt going to but then it splutterd and #*"ted into life with a billow of smoke, just thought id pass my sunday doings on. i also got some mesh and tarted up the upper and lower grill and now the wife says it looks cool, i can have a special treat tonight. ive had some cider instead. hic nite all.

have you got a photo of you work behind the grill daddycool i like to see how a pro has done it b4 i have a go on sunday thanks

have you a pic of rear or how is it attached, with filler ir what ? thanks

hi all on the mk 1 model is everyones upper grill where the badge is see through like ours or have some models got a grill mesh behind, i ask cos we had a big lump of steel jump up and go straight thru the air con rad thus costing

is it a , let it develop noise ? which tensioner do you mean ? the alt belt ? i had all the belts and timing pulleys changed 4 months ago, no noise from start up when ewngine hot.

hi all 1.9 tdi 96 year when on start fromcold theres alittle sqweek from somewhere down by the alternater area it goes after 5 secs any ideas

my original question ,, does any have an answer ? trying to adjust the 806 rear bench seat for 3 in to the back of the galaxy , i dont to buy an 806 but that and the too expensive at the moment 807 are the only 8 seaters apart from them vw caravelle things

is it clicking from under the car outside or is the noise inside ? if inside is it the brake light switch ?

heres 0ne you may have not heard of, the pug806 and the like have a rear bench seat that takes 3 kids the slots on the floor look similar could one convert the pug bench to fit the galaxy holes, we could do with an extra seat i asked about the new model galaxy at frod and was told the new one would be 6 or 7 seats. or should we buy an 807 are they any good

hello all, on models with manual heater, on our blower switch the little air recirc light comes on briefly when you push it, the flaps change and it reciculates but why wont the light stay on ?

LET HE WITH THE INFO COMETH FORWARD BE A GOOD IDEA TO DO IT WHEN WEATHER NICE

2nd question after reading the threads on air con it seems a good idea to leave it on most of the time, does this not overwork any of the bearings or motors or anything else causing early failure. also if the car is turned of after a run with aircon still switched on does that matter ? or shuold it be switched off. just wondered if affected anything when the starter was engaged thanks

ow do all 98 1.9TDI on looking at the tis disc and the info on the aux heater unit it seems to say that their is on some models a clock that can switch the heater on before you get in, so you have some heat there, is there a mod available for the standard unit to convert it or has someone clever done it already, or have i misread the thing. CHEERS

eveninall is there a new model galaxy to be built with 8 seats does anyone know ? ta
