• VW Golf MK 7 DSG - Problems Solved or not? 8 May 2013 (Forum)

  I have a 2000 Volvo V70 classic 170bhp; the heater fan on the air conditioning has suddenly stopped blowing; the electrics seem ok. I am getting conflicting advice: 1) That if the gas is low, the heater fan automatically stops blowing, and that re-gassing will cure

  The clutch pedal goes right down to the floor on my Activa & am unable to select gears. Observing the clutch cable at the transmission end I cannot see any way of adjusting it so I think it must be an automatic adjusting cable. I learn a plastic clutch clip near the pedal often fails
