• VW Golf fan / AC only works on full 9 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, The interior fan on my mark 4 golf (the basic model, not the fancy automatic digital climate one) only works on full blast. The air con light comes on when it'd turned on, but no air comes out of the vents unless the knob is turned to the '4' setting. I''m seriously hoping it's a simple fix
• Safety Door Locks 7 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I have noticed that most of the new German cars I have been in recently automatically lock their doors when the car is in motion and then unlock again when stationary.
