it could do, is it the hole the pipe goes into thats chipped or the hose?
hows the car otherwise? you enjoying it?
Its the section that holds the hose in place, i will try and get some pics of it posted.
Other than that the cars been awsome, drives well and the car feels so solid unlike some other makes i test drove.

Not to keen the sound it makes when its rev'd however AC means i can keep the windows up and don't notice it as much.

I'm sure ill get used to it though too many years with petrol engines must do that to you. Anyway the Mpg more than makes up for it i can't even remember the last time i was in a petrol station.

2 - both should be blue; sounds like the passenger has been replaced at some time; they are blue to reduce dazzling from headlights at night
4 - the rear end is the achilles heal of any MKIV golf; best bet is to get the rear suspension bushes changed; most garages will charge around £150 for this including parts.
Any ideas where i can get a replacement blue mirror? + How can a check if its heated (wrong time of year to find out through normal use)
How can i check if the bushes need replacing?
Also the centre armrest doesn't seem to have catch on it, so when its lifted the lid just falls back emptying the contents all over the rear footwells.

I presume this isn't standard and is busted, just don't wont to get a replacement to discover this is the norm.
Sooooo many questions
Thanks for all your help.... I think I maybe transforming to a VW enthusiast
Cheers All
