Model: volkswagen Make: Golf III Trans: 4 speed auto model year: 1996 drive config: 2WD Specification. Euro good day house. My golf never seems to exceed 120km/hr. When i got the car it used to get up to 130km/hr. When it gets to this speed the speedometer needle stops moving.. The speed of the car also refuses to increase. It rather starts reducing speed he my trying to ascend a hilly road even when stepping on my gas pedal . I observe my tachometer needle keeps moving and my engine's sound increases without the proportional increase in speed of the car. The fuel pump has been changed, my plugs are not misfiring i just don't know what to do i need help before mechanics destroy my car. When my gear changes it is very noticeable i feel the car jerk and forcefully change gear. I have changee my transmission oil i don't know if it's the oil i used i cant remember the name of the one the mechanic put Thanks house |

Stylaay: Model: volkswagen Volkswagen Golf III 1,781cc gasoline, I4 SOHC 8V 90 hp. Who recommended fuel pump replacement? If your engine rpm increases, without a corresponding increase in road speed, worse on hilly stretches, then your clutch is the culprit here. It's slipping. You may observe a burnt smell too when slip occurs. Slip will be worse on hilly stretches, and on level roads, slip will occur at higher rpm. Given the average Nigerian mechanic's attitude to correct diagnosis, a transmission rebuild is a bit hit-and-miss. I would advice a replacement unit. |

Siena: @siena,if the type of fuel indicated on the manual is Premium Unleaded(which to the best of my knowledge isnt available here),what do i do considering also the fact that the previous owner would have been using the regular 9ja fuel on it?The owner claims to service the car with coscharis. |

Re: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by kc007(m): 12:03pm On Nov 08, 2013 |
kc007:@mr Siena, i observed it again and noticed that the coolant temp metre gets to the mid mark and stays there. You kno this car has auto trasmission, it has no place to check the gear box oil level like the case of engine oil. Does one has to only depend on the computer display to know when thre's issue with gear box oil level? |

Pls oga siena. I want to know the best coolant fo golf3 2.0 16v. |
Re: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by Nobody: 7:50pm On Nov 08, 2013 |
ibrodex: Pls oga siena. I want to know the best coolant fo golf3 2.0 16v. Volkswagen Golf III 2.0 GTI 16V, engine code ABF, 150 hp. It's not so much about which is the best coolant - but which is the right one. Your Volkswagen Golf has a cast-iron cylinder block, and a light aluminium cylinder head. It is essential the correct coolant is used, the OEM head gasket is a steel triple layer laminate. But, we're still looking at two different materials - aluminium and steel. The use of the wrong coolant WILL cause both metals to react. Result? Blown head gasket. The correct coolant for your car is G12 or G12+. |

[quote author=kc007]Make: Audi Model: A4 quattro Engine: 1.8T Year model: 2001 Spec: Europe Transmission: Auto Drive configuration: AWD I 've had issues with temperature switch of this car causing coolant loss. 1st was that the rubber seal of this swtch got melted, maybe by excessive heat. After replacement, a 2nd issue was forceful pulling out of this switch from its socket while the car was running & plastic clip was still in place. Please can use of incorrect coolant cause this or what else should be responsible. I know i've used coolant other than the recommended G12 A8D for the car. Please SIENA other people with ideas helpout! Any immediate resppnse will be appreciated. Thank u. |

Please I have a Golf 4, I recently took it to a car wash for engine wash and the alternator was damaged. I had a Rewire replace the alternator. After replacement I notice that each I start the car the battery light does not go off until I step on the accelarator very hard which is not the custom before. The Rewire doesn't seem to have a good explanation for this abnormal behaviour. Spoke to other Rewire who said I need to replace the alternator with a 120 amp alternator is not good enough. However the car originally came with 90amp alternator. My question therefore is that is it wise to replace the alternator with a 120amp alternator? It's 1.4 16v engine. Appreciate your feedback |

Appreciate your feedback Volkswagen Golf IV 1.4 16V, 75 hp. The alternator ampage isn't the issue here. A 70A alternator will cope just as well, as long as it's in good shape. If your batter charge warning light remains on at start up and idle, only extinguishing when you increase engine rpm, then your replacement alternator has a faulty voltage rectifier / regulator. If you can find a decent auto technician, it can be replaced. Failing that, a complete replacement alternator will solve your issues. |
