After buying my first golf MK4 GTI Turbo 2 weeks ago I am now ready to start sorting out a few common/not so common problem's so sorry if i ask for to much Help..
Problem 1.. Side Light bulb Blown, now sorted after taking off the front bumper I also changed the the Orange indicator bulbs for some Chrome bulbs.
Sorted(http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz191/md176/VW%20GOLF%20MK4/IMG_0436-1.jpg)

Problem 2 On replacing headlamp and bumper I checked all was working (Daylight) . But i noticed when i used the car to go to work today the headlight adjust (up/down) was not working on the headlight (passenger side)i replaced the side light bulb in.. Have i done something wrong when removing the headlight from the Car.
Problem 3.. I have all the keys with the car (3 keys plus Master) The remote does not open or close the car. I use one of the spare keys to open the drivers door and to start the car up. Now if i open the drivers door and dont put the key into the ignition and turn on the ignition within 30 or so seconds the Alarm goes off.
Problem 4 I can only open the boot using the key (car open or closed)
Problem 5 I remember reading about this at some point, can someone link me to this .. The car's temp will only go to about 75 and not 90 even on a long run Help with this please.
Advise now please.. Can the coil packs be changed on these 1.8t engines so i can do away with the big bolt square box type bolt down coil pack's.
Problem 5.. The Puddle light on drivers door and roof lights don't come on when i open the drivers door but do on the passenger door.. I have changed the bulb in the puddle light and all the roof lights are fine and work when switched on/off..
Any links to these problems will help saves me asking all the time.
Thanks All

How do Colin :wink:
Problem 4 - boot switch has most likely bit the dust
Problem 5 is either the thermostat or temp sender
Problem 6 is most likely the door module and is approx £100 from VW :sad:
Coilpacks - ring VW with your reg number and see if your call is eligible for new ones under the recall. The same applies to your A4 :wink: But the bolt down ones are the best ones to have :smiley:
Let me know when you want it scanned and we'll point you in the right direction :afro:

Problem 6.. The Puddle light on drivers door : its the micro switch on lock of door mine did this.You can get a new one or use my cheap fix :lipsrsealed: .get a screw driver and hammer .Put the screw driver in a screw head that holds the door lock in and tap it with hammer until light comes on . :wink:
Problem 5: thermostat

My man Rhyso. I need to do most of the work on the Golf myself as having blown the budget on this car, so Links to DIY will help in a big way. I will get the parts from TPS.

Lets get it scanned to confirm the other faults before you part with your hard earned :wink:
Re-reading problem 3 I might be able to recode your keys as its possible they've lost sync with the car
