• Volkswagen Passat (1988 - 1997) - 95 1.8 Wants to stall - plugs? 14 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Hello, My trusty petrol passat has started to run very slightly fluffy and it is ticking over slower than usual (about 600 compared to usual 800) and wants to stall. I know the plugs are a few years old. Do you think new plugs would be a good start? Or am I wasting my time avoiding the inevitable

  The power steering on my 94 Golf 1.9 D has started groaning under load, following the belt snapping on the M1. I replaced the belt and retensioned after a week, and also bled the system. The noise is present without the engine running but with the car jacked up. I've replaced the fluid

  Recently have found that there is water leaking into the front footwells, and no apparent or obvious sight of entry.

  The engine is the 1.8 Endura diesel. I'm only getting 44 MPG running around local in a rural area and 47MPG on long journeys doing around 60 - 70 MPH. I have only just bought the car and on the assumption I would get about 50MPG, so I'm a bit disappointed. Is this normal for Fiesta diesels
