• Golf Mk3 - Head Gasket Problem 26 May 2004 (Forum)
  My 1994 Golf Mk3 1.4 (ABD engine) has a head gasket problem, I assume, but has had for about a year, which seems like a long time for a dodgy head gasket to last. The main symptom is pressurisation of the cooling system. I can run the car one day, and when I remove the expansion tank cap the next

  Hi all, I have a Vauxhall Omega 2.6 V6 on a 51 plate and up until last week she was running very sweet. Then a few days ago she would start OK but there was a bit of uneveness in the idling, a bit of splutter even. This cleared though quite quickly after a few revs. Then it became

• Renault - 03 2.2 Diesel Runs on own Oil 12 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Q. I have just had a rather nasty surprise with my Espace 2.2 DCI. The Problem appears to be the engine running on ( ie screaming) its own oil. It ceased initially after a few seconds, then drove normally for approx 500 yards, to then happen again for a few moments then back to normal. Both
• Daytime running lights - opinion. 5 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I see that in the HJ column of the DT there's a query about turning off daytime running lights on a Golf. In his reply HJ states that these "do not dazzle". I call cobblers on that. Driving into Brussels this AM, there was a light to medium mist. The number of VAG vehicles relying

  My sister is just about to sell her MG to downsize on running costs and improve security for her parking issues. Shes quite keen on the Puma, but due to the issues with short cold runs with the 1.7 model ( which is her primary driving ), she will only consider the 1.4/1.6 models which are quite
