our golf has a lights issue,firstly the reversing lights went,then brake lights started staying on all the time even with the engine switched off,plus the passenger rear back light had a loose connection.and various bulbs have been changed.

so if u find the reason for your lights issue please let me know. :smiley:

I havent read more than the 1st page, but if it was me i would be thinking loose plug and rocker cover gasket.
Especially if all pulls fine with no smoke etc? just my opinion, may be wrong, and make have written this way too late.

what i think it is, someone in the past filling the oil up has slipped and its poured down, not been cleaned and gunked up.
