Re: Headlight lenses.

If it is the outer lights (larger ones), then the holes for the sidelight bulbs are nearest the wings.

Re: Oil change

If you are looking to get a good quality oil why not use the stuff VW would put in? Or if a VW dealer near to you call them and get a price. Exactly, why bother buying on Ebay, take a trip down your local dealer, speak to the parts department and get yourself a discount (and a filter at the same ti...

Re: Flashing red light on temp gauge

The light will continually flash if your coolant is low on an injection car, check that first!

Re: Oil change

The Haynes manuals are old! Oil technology has moved on since they were published.
If you went to VW for a service they would refill with Synta Silver 10w/40 semi-synthetic.

Re: In tank fuel Pump

Sounds like you have found the issue Rich, get a good brand though! Is the main pump working okay?
Yes, worth dropping a magnet in the tank.

Any pictures of your car? Where are you based?

Re: Fueling glitch moment?

Check the relay? Cheap enough to always have a spare in the glovebox. Exactly what I was going to say, I had this happen to me going to a show a couple of years ago, 70 miles no problem then just went! I always have a spare as Sean says (in both cars!). I have one in my for sale thread, can't get i...

These are a good idea for keeping the battery in good condition, I have these fitted to both my Sciroccos. Easy to fit and acts like a sleeping bag to keep the battery nice and snug! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK4-Battery-Box-Cover-/121395540025?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=i...

Re: In tank fuel Pump

If you have a Haynes manual the wiring diagrams are at the rear, I don't have mine to hand. The brown wire will be the earth though, the other 2 wires are supply and for the fuel gauge. What year is your Scala? Good practice to fit a new gasket as the old one will no doubt be goosed! The in tank pum...

Re: Full beam cuts power to my clocks

Did it occur before the engine change etc? Are you using the original stalks? It sounds as if there is a short, any bare cables. How clean are the earthing points? My advice would be to check the basics first and also make sure your engine is earthed from the rocker cover to the coil (this earth str...
