Alright mate i have tried both keys. it is intermittent i was thinking about getting the keys reprogrammed, but don't want to spend money at stealers and have the same issue later on. Cheers K

Not sure what's going here, can't start the car the light is on the dashboard..have changed the batteries in the remote fob, but still no joy car doors open fine with the key, and start the car but it cuts straight away. Any ideas fellas??

Hi NHN i've tried the second key too, and it behaves the same. do you think the barrel is on it's way out? i wonder how much that's going to cost :-(

i've changed the battery but no joy, it's hit and miss at the moment. I can unlock the doors but sometimes it doesn't start. i thought it might be the battery. do you think i need to take to stealers to reprogram the key fob?? The car icon with the key below keeps coming up on the dash...

well i picked the car today and they decided to replace the layshaft bearings and also removed the old (newish) flywheel kit and replaced it with the dual mass flywheel kit, it's the wifes car so i don't think she wants anymore power out it. the noise is no more!!! :thumbsup:

Well car is stripped at the garage, and has already had a new flywheel and clutch fitted...so they now think it's the gearbox...which was sent the gearbox specialist who says its fine but will change a few bearings inside. the only thing they said was that it has a solid flywheel ( i'm assuming...

spence_star do you feel a little vibration from the clutch pedal when you press it 2 or 3 mm down gently?

i'm booked into the VAG specialist end of next week for a flywheel and clutch kit replacement...hopefully it wont be a gearbox issue. i will update you when i pickup the car. cheers

both the garages think it's not the release bearing..i thought it might be that...cheers

car rattles from gearbox, but when i press the clutch pedal down it goes away. have had a couple of garages look at it without opening the box up as i'm short of the cash required to replace gearbox if it is that. anyway the VAG specialist thinks it's the gearbox and a gearbox specialist thinks...

euro carparts do one as well. yes it is the black switch that extends when you press the pedal. good luck with the change :thumbsup:

Wish i could i think the lump is getting on a bit ( done a fair few miles) so not sure where the oil is leaking from and it's not that bad the odd drip here and there, just means i have to keep cleaning the driveway. does anyone know if the VW undertray would fit? cheers

Cheers guys, the only reason i need to replace it, is to stop the oil drips on the drive since it came off. otherwise i'm not bothered about it. I might have to bite the bullet and buy one from stealers as it can't find one secondhand. Thanks

anyone know where else you can buy from apart from the stealers? dont fancy paying £60 for a sheet of plastic :-( Cheers

I started the car with the master (black key) what does this mean the key needs replacing? i had the key programmed a year ago as the car doors wouldn't open and the other remote is broken snapped in half. cheers Spuddie007

car starts but cuts out in seconds, the car symbol with key underneath keeps flashing after it cuts out. looked at the manual and it states this is the immobiliser icon, but the doors open with the remote and car starts, i thought that if it was the immobiliser it wouldn't allow for the car to...

After a used gearbox for a A3 TDI. anyone know if the golf ones fit, as some of the bits from a vw fit audis like the golf turbo calipers and disc or the wheels. What should i look out for when buying a used gearbox? currently have a five speed, would i be able to upgrade to a six speed box...

Sounds difficult and i'm heavy handed, hope i don't break anything in the process! Thanks for the reply :-0

Anyone know how to change it? Cheers :-0

Well at least you know how to fix it. I'm still trying to convince myself that i can fix it without having to take the car to the garage. Just not sure about "rivet" bit and marking the four frame bolts :-( cheers
