Golf mk6 / Re: Any ideas what this could be please?
« Last post by Norwichdaz on 23 December 2025, 13:44 »
Right..lol... just gave car a clean and once over, thought would stare at connector for a few mins
..and it was leaking about every 1-2 mins..

The part fixed yesterday seems fine I have took 2 pics and put arrows lol... I think the actual part is knackered maybe a ti y crack in it or something not that we really checked it last night,  as was dripping from the top part... looked like where I have "arrowed" so maybe good job I ordered a whole new part lol

Haha indeed! I'll keep an eye obviously...

The only tiny thing is where that drip was on the other pic I sent on auxiliary pump, that broken heater part, surely couldnt/wouldnt have made its way to that point !?! Haha

Which is why possibly (aswell as yesterday's fix) could be those 2 coolant pipes that wrap around front of the engine too. 😁

Oh and random but not complaining, when I check oil it seemes pretty good since had it  3mths ago? Surely should be needing some by now  :grin: :grin:

Give that pump a good clean, cleanup any evidence of coolant and see if it comes back.

192 for sale again and still odd:

Odd is the right word. It's the first interior shot that features a reupholstered seat that sparks a combination of eugh-WTF.

How much did it go for in the end?

Hi Mark, welcome
A few things can cause those symptoms on MK6 Golfs, especially the hesitation when accelerating and popping when blipping the throttle in neutral.

Common possibilities include:
Coil pack or spark plug issues – Very common on VW petrol engines. A weak coil or worn plug can cause hesitation under load and popping from unburnt fuel. Usually not expensive.

MAF (mass air flow) sensor – If it’s dirty or failing, the engine won’t fuel correctly, leading to laggy acceleration.

Vacuum leak / split hose – Cracked PCV hoses or vacuum lines can cause delayed throttle response and popping.

Throttle body / carbon build-up – Especially if it’s a petrol engine and hasn’t been cleaned in a while.

DSG-related hesitation (if automatic) – Sometimes feels like engine lag but is actually gearbox response.

First thing I’d recommend is getting the car plugged in for fault codes, even if there’s no engine management light on. That usually points you in the right direction straight away.

It would really help if you could tell us which model MK6 you got?

Most of the above are fairly inexpensive fixes if caught early, so don’t panic just yet.

Thanks for your reply nino as always! Great info 👌👌😁

The garage couldn't get me in till.6th Jan understandably around this time lol..

But drove past work today to see our mechanic and to show him where the garage said was leaking on heater pipe, our mechanic literally touched the connector very softly and the "nipple" literally fell off and he said well id say thats where your leak is from (and a high spot as u were talking about)

So I was like sh!t, but hes very experienced and an hour later after having a think and taking the top.hose off he tap and dyed  the connector and put an aluminium part in and reconnected so, sorted, whilst he was doing that I did order a brand new one only £13 but he did say tbh the metal part prob stronger than another plastic part 😆 🤣...

We let it kept up to temperature etc and seemed no leak at all will keep an eye on next few days obviously.

I know u say about its not a ford haha...

It doesn't overheat and things like that, but does have "steam" from exhaust not all.the time tho.










Oh I love Macro fixes like this! RESULT!!!
