Various GTI problems
« on: 29 March 2008, 19:49 »
After all this time I got out the GTI and insurred it and drove it this weekend! In the rain.....

So I've found some problems that I need to fix! - all fuses have been replaced

The rear wiper doesn't seem to work, or it does some times in stages it is more likely to be the relay or motor?

The rear windscreen heater doesn't work - again the same

and has anyone a picture of the heater control rods?? cos one of the control rods have come off and is bent and wont work...i assume i have to replace this....

I have fixed the missfire and don't think the head gasket has gone now! i had my first long drive in it too and was impressed with the handling and speed!!!


Yup yup!!!

Cheers Tris
