The factory manual is available on Ebay. A hardcopy is over 100 bucks, a pdf cd is just a few bucks, with the pdf you just print out the pages you need.

How to check if the injectors on my golf are working.?

I HAVE A 2002 GOLF GT TDI THAT HAS TROUBLE STARTING. I SUSPECT IT COULD BE ONE OF THE INJECTORS DOES ANYONE KNOW A WAY THAT I COULD CHECK THEM.
i have changed all the glow plugs and filters and still the problem remains.

Lab scope or there's a checker that flashes when the injector pulses.

take them out one at a time, then get someone to turn the key while you look at the injector. if diesel sprays out then that injector is working, so put it back in and take out the next one.

though if it is just trouble starting but running fine the rest of the time I would check your glow plugs first

fixer29

if you have one glow plug not working it will make bad starting,injectors have nothing to do with it,so ,get them checked out,if you find one or more off, change them all because they are all the same age.

J R

many people have problems over revving on their start up, but i have never expeienced this problem without it having to do with the glow plugs. i seriously think you should check your glow plugs again if this problem is occuring.

it may appear were when you have got it started white smoke may start to come out of the exhaust. this may be because it is old. if this does happen check it with an engineer. you could also try changing all the temperature sensors close to the thermostat.

i think you should check the glowplugs again first and this has no affect take it to a garage because it may need full service for it may be worn out.









thank you. i hope this helps. i any questions find in any way to comment me.

You are sounding like the people of old who don't know any better than to blame the carburetor. Carb-fuel injection=same thing.
You can't check and you would not know what to look for. I don't know and don't care. I got a general idea what it should be if I was in remote Siberia, but I am not there.
Easiest way to check,...give to the dealership shop and go someplace else for four hours or so.
Also, when was the last time you changed the air filter? And the fuel filter? Never done...8 years now, yeah it can't hurt. Are all the vacuum hoses connected tightly.(and not cracked on the ends)
Then the valve gaps will be checked as well as a compression check. All this is done before they even look at the injectors at the dealership.
Glow plugs are never the problem. You changed them. Did you check the fusible link? What is that? Alright, into the shop, for you have missed simple stuff.
In the summer time, even if only 1 works, you will not see a difference in starting speed. It starts instantly. Keep your foot off the pedal. Diesels start best this way.
Once it has started the glow plugs are switched off. Maybe also change the gas station you get fuel from.
Battery could also be weak. If it is less than 1000amp and 4 year old, it is iffy.
Could be most likely that you have air in one of the lines and all that needs to be done is get the air out of the line(for that air pocket blocks the fuel from going to one injector) Let them do that. If the car has ever run dry. most likely that is the problem. (that is why you never let the tank go to low "E or fumes" You cannot drive the air out by just driving it alot.
Also when was the last time the timing belt was changed. (Every 60,000 miles) If you are at the dealership, let them do it, for they will have to check injector timing after the belt is replaced.(to 1/100 of a degree) not by ear.
You cannot check injectors yourself. It is a complete removal thing and is put into an injector spray pattern tester tool setup. Not an eyeball thingy.
Has your "pine tree" been changed.?

i would say the r32, more fun to drive and has the most hp as it comes stock but if u want to put aftermarket parts to it, it would be really expensive...

the jetta diesel is a great choice and the GLI model are great decisions if u want to make modifications

Christopher

If you live in Canada, the R32 is not available. It's bumpers don't meet Canadian standards.
If you live in Canada, get the GTi, it is the funnest car for Canadians because Canadians like hatchbacks!
Otherwise get the R32. Good luck!

mk4 gti 1.8t. great fuel economy, and u can get extra power so easy its not even funny. this and the vr6 is probably the most common engines to tune in the vw realm, but unless u got a lot of cash lying around everywhere, go for the 1.8t

Hitler's parents created him!
Through the process of spawning

The Wonderful Jimmy Page

Hitler didn't create VW, in fact it was Dr. Ferdinand Porsche that created VW.

However, Porsche was just a design firm at the time so they were pretty much waiting for someone to come along and buy their designs of the Type 1 Bug.

Hitler came across the designs and he started the company.

ForLoveIsHope

Hitler did not create the Volkswagen. Here is a brief history of the VW Beetle which will answer your question and put the role of Hitler in perspective.
------------
In the early 1930's, Ferdinand Porsche and his company Dr.-Ing. h.c. Ferdinand Porsche GmbH designed a prototype of the Beetle Car. It was a streamlined sedan with a rear engine so that the driveshaft would be shorter, whilst the weight of the engine would still be distributed safely. This prototype was built by a motorcycle producer called Zundapp and test driven in 1932. It did not go into production though because Zundapp decided to keep making motorcycles as they were in high demand.

Adolf Hitler at this time had a vision of his countrymen being able to own a cheap car and had plans on creating great networks of roads called autobahns. Hitler invited Porsche to submit to him a design for this peoples car, it had to be cheap, economical, fast (all of 60 miles per hour) and to accommodate two adults and three children comfortably. So, in January 1934 Porsche gave Hitler a proposal for his car and by June that year work had begun. Some funding was given by the RDA (Reichsverband der Autmobilindustrie - the German Auto Dealers Association), to help pay the bills!
--------------------


Therefore clearly Hitler did not create the Volkswagen.

To answer you question "Who created Hitler?"
The answer is
Father = Alois Schicklgruber
Mother = Klara Pölzl

Assuming Klara Pölzl was faithful to Alois Schicklgruber, then they created Adolf Hittler as they were his parents.

Replica

It depends upon how you define Create.

Hitler tasked Porsche and others to come up with a 'peoples car' (Volkswagen) and, over a lunch/meal with them sketched out a concept on a napkin. It looks remakably like the 30's VW.

That napkin is actually on display in a museum. If you google Hitler and VW you will find more then a few links including one to the famous napkin.

So, while the mechanics of the cars are clearly Porche and Ghia's doing, the concept and idea is, unfortunately, credited to Hitler.

As far as creating Hitler.. alas.. history is unclear as to that source. Perhaps some leftover recycled something or other that had started to go bad in the back of the fridge .. what do you think..?

Opening a dealership?

I want to open up a car dealership (preferably a Ferrari or a Maserati) but I don't know how to or how much it will cost me to open one up.

I know I need to get a License to sell cars first but its the opening it up that's that big question.

Asked by: Usefull or unusefull @ 2009-07-31 11:12:05

[Best Answer]Today it requires that you have a background in the car business; either having been a general manager or previous ownership of a car dealership. Not to long ago you could obtain a domestic branded car dealership if you were a minority (black, asian, etc.) thru the minortiy development program that all three domestic car makes offered. It didn't take a lot of money between $250,000 to $500,000 of cash capital and the automakers would make up the rest thru the dealer development program.

Car makers today aren't giving new car dealership franchises away; they haven't done that since the 60's, when almost anyone could get a franchise with no experience and very little money. With the car makes you want to have, you'll need to find an area where the makers want to have a dealership; dealerships for expensive or exclusive makes have protected area rights and have to put a lot of capital in order to have a dealership. Most likely you'll have to put up a new building or modify a building to the standards required by a franchise agreement, expect to spent a million dollars or more between the building mods, tools, service department tools/training, parts inventory and more.

In this market, I'm not certain that opening a new car dealership of any type is a good idea. You can start by contacting the dealer development office of the make of vehicle that you wish to sell and go from there. It will take a lot of time, effort and money to do it; unless you're getting in on the ground floor with a new and unknown make of vehicle, expect to spend a lot of money before you even open the doors.

I wish you well in your effort to obtain your dreams.

Is Ferrari or Maserati a franchise business? Do they allow people to privately own and sell their vehicles? You might want to contact the company's Corporate Office or check via online on their websites and see if they offer this opportunity. Sounds like an enjoyable business.

You are off to a bad start already.

Look around.. here in the US, not only are dealerships closing but GM and Chrysler are closing a lot of doors and GM has been sold.

THis is a WORLDWIDE trend, friend. True, there are not a lot of mass sales of high end sports cars, but it is a trickle down AND up economy.,

You may want to think twice. (or thrice)...

But if you still want to do it, I have a nice bridge for sale...

Volkswagon Golf MK5 1.6 FSI ABS?

Advice needed on the following if possible.

A couple of weeks ago my mother in law noticed that the Traction Control light was on on the dashboard and she could not turn it off. I took it to the local garage and they ran a diagnostic test on it. The test showed up a faulty ABS control unit. They said take it to the VW dealers they may do it for free as (the job would cost over a £1000.00) its just outside of its warranty (10 weeks) and its only got 19,000 miles on the clock

I took it to VW and they said that will be £1500.00 to fix the problem. I explained my frustration at the bill ie the car only has 19,000 miles on the clock its only 10 weeks outside of its warranty etc etc. The dealer said they will have a word with the "Good will" department at VW.

A week later and a few fax's sent back and forth to the dealer and the "Good will" department have said they will not pay anything towards the bill because we have not had the car serviced at a VW dealer. If it was serviced at the dealers then they would pay 100% of the cost.

I have managed to get the dealer to take 20% of the cost of sorting the problem out but I feel frustrated at the fact the (not so) “Good will” department have refused my request for even partial payment of the repair point blank.

I’m really not sure where to go from here other than pay for the repairs.

Any advice on where to go from here would be greatly received

Kirsty C

The dealership provide the second and third year of the warranty and so why should VW pay when you did not have your car serviced by them AND is outside the warranty period anyway ? You have learned a lesson the hard way. The comment about the goodwill gesture "if" you had taken the car to them for service is just a way of rubbing salt in the wound.

L G

Don't use the Vw dealer the Cost of replacing the Abs module is way to high.
Why not Seek out a Good Vw specialist who will send off your old module for repair for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

If you want to pay £700 for vw's new part get it fitted by a good local garage as vw charges anything over £90.00 per hour labour.

I have used this company for a few modules:

Any advice to raise my 1973 vw bug?

I just bought a 1973 vw bug this past Sunday. The original owner(the one before the man I bought it from) wanted to make the car a show car. The person I bought it from never got around to lifting it. The bug has been lowered so far that any little nick in the road scrapes the bottom. My bf has had a bug himself a could of years ago and said the front is really easy and they had but some link adjuster things on it and he's done it before. But the back has torshin bars? and he said he's never done it. Do you have any advice on how they come off or adjust to get to the right height? They bug is so low that we can't even get a jack under it. They have to pick the car up by hand and roll it under it. Help me!!

walter chaos

The torsion bars are actually axel shafts located in housings just forward of each wheel.. but before you mess with them, you need to make sure that it has been lowered in this manner and that there is not some modification to the transaxle. IF that is the case then you have an entirely different scenario.

If the torsion rods have been reset to a lower value, its an easy change, however you should pick up a 'how to' book from the 70's. It will have the specifications that you need. THere are plenty of them available and they are worth their weight in gold.

good luck with your project.

ca_surveyor

There is a special tool for working on the rear torsion bars. They have a LOT of tension built into them, sou you need to know what your doing and avoid that broken leg or worse.

I fyou are uncomfortable working around such stresses, take it to a shop that makes tem that way and they will know how to "un-make it". This is not changing spark plugs!!!
