My Tdi 130 and her issues...
« on: 16 October 2016, 20:51 »
Hi peeps,
Just returned to Mk 4 ownership after having a 1.8T some years ago. Now in a 130 diesel, got for a bargain price from a work mate. Mechanically always looked after, he has owned for last 10 years. Cosmetically a bit of a project, but some issues requiring immediate attention. Knew all these when took ownership.
-None of electric windows or interior lights working.
: SORTED BY CHANGING FUSE 14.
- Speedo only works very occasionally. As does computer in dash, and fuel light always comes on when cornering.
: GUESSING AT WIRING UNDER BATTERY TRAY SHORTING. HOPE THIS WILL SORT ALL THESE ISSUES.
- Rear wiper and Heated rear window not working.
:GUESSING NEEDS NEW REAR MOTOR AS I HAD TO REPLACE ON PREVIOUS GOLF TOO. HOPING SWITCH JUST NEEDS REPLACING ON WINDOW AS IS PUSHED RIGHT IN, OR POSSIBLE FUSE.
-Central locking and Alarm issues.
:HAVE CHECKED WIRING IN REAR  BOOT RUBBER AND IT IS SCREWED. SO BADLY PERISHED. AGAIN HOPING SORTING THIS WILL RECTIFY ISSUES.
-A lot of noise when on full lock.
: NO IDEA AS YET, BUT POTENTIALLY A BIG JOB??

And lastly for now, my rear passenger drivers door doesn't open at all. Read a bit about modules and stuff, so potentially this could be most expensive to sort. Time will tell...

Loving the car at min though. Drives so well to say is 13 years old. Can't wait for a bit of time off work to get my teeth into these.

Cheers, Kev 🙂
