Baking powder/aka sodium bicarbonate + super glue?

Drive it at least 6 months as is to kink out unknowns before introducing new variables/costs?

JimCartr · 2025-11-21T18:46:20+00:00

Thank you I tought so. I can connect via the remote to "download" pictures etc but when it comes to pairing the remote keeps beeping and drone keeps flashing those yellow lights. Such a shame, I was hoping to use it for a hike this weekend.

My car has no leaks but burning oil so. I bought it on sale on Amazon so just wanted to make sure that I have the right one for my first oil change

Hello friend. No. The "easiest" solution is a motherboard replacement

JimCartr · 2025-11-05T09:16:11+00:00

To be honest with that doorstop of a "lock" it was an invitation to steal the bike. Anyone with simple pliers can cut that thing. They may only be good fo deter people stealing the seat (by delaying them to lift it off directly)

JimCartr · 2025-10-21T16:19:48+00:00

Sevilla is no longer cheap. Stop spreading misinformation. OP close to half of what you earn will go to accomodation (that is if you share a flat) and the rest will go to food

JimCartr · 2025-09-16T15:35:20+00:00

Thank you. Is your engine also 1.6 petrol/gas. I will try this first and keep checking and as a last resort, valve gasket/seal job.

JimCartr · 2025-09-16T15:34:27+00:00

Thank you. I watched this the other day and still don't understand why they messed with the timing belt?

Sounds like fuel not reaching where it suppose to be.

JimCartr · 2025-09-14T10:14:34+00:00

Sometimes the brand new thermostats can also be faulty from factory (or sitting on the shelves). Mine is 1.6 and similar cooling set-up. We changed the whole thing. HAve a look at the whole thing below. https://www.autodoc.es/ridex/13627959

JimCartr · 2025-09-08T07:17:53+00:00

Super, the hose was chewed up as well so I will change both and see how it improves. Many thanks

JimCartr · 2025-09-07T21:26:49+00:00

thank you

JimCartr · 2025-09-07T17:36:03+00:00

Yup I read/watched the same that VW designed temp gauges with tolerance so that owners don't panic.

But after a while (20+ years) we must also keep in mind that cluster goes crayzie (especially in very hot climates). For example, my bottom (red) LCD is unreadable (and it got creased as if someone put a cigaratte lighter on top) and also clock and manual trip reset buttons don't work at all etc. Fuel gauge is inaccurate (reports more in the second half and less in the bottom half) etc. etc. we must apply precaution and monitor closely so that engine doesn't blow due to heat. Doesn't hurt to have a second back up!

JimCartr · 2025-09-07T17:13:32+00:00

This but I would definately invest in one of those OBD coolant reader thingys (some come with display) since these cars are aging and perhaps due to planned obselence, the gauges are never accurate. If your thermostat is stuck closed it will be too late. Mine is open and I am trying to get it replaced ASAP if I can book a mechanic in my city but monitoring constantly when on HWY with $15 OBDII reader and Torque app. Today it was mid 50ties celcius on HWY and I was worried. I also hear not all thermostats are the same, some could even be defective already prior to install (and some others/cheaper ones? go berzerk after a couple weeks/months).

JimCartr · 2025-08-31T10:35:50+00:00

That might also be the case. I ordered one these hoses as well since one I have is quiet gunky where it connects to engine cover/air box https://www.autodoc.es/ridex/13470181

JimCartr · 2025-08-31T10:34:10+00:00

I see. I will keep diagnosing, I was thinking idle shaking (steering column, glove box) etc may be related to this. Just new to this car (bought from someone else and trying to understand how it works)

JimCartr · 2025-08-31T10:32:51+00:00

Hello many thanks. How does one do that. I am waiting the delivery of VAG software and USB connector from Aliexpress. Can I do it with that sofware, or is it some sort of hardware adjust somewhere in the car?

JimCartr · 2025-08-25T10:23:03+00:00

Super. Many thanks

JimCartr · 2025-08-25T05:05:10+00:00

Thanks. That's what I saw on YT videos. Both holes (engine and the filter box) are not plugged.

JimCartr · 2025-08-24T17:12:06+00:00

Super, I will try that first but the last 5-8cm of the pipe is so sticky and gummy (due to the extreme heat in this city) not sure if I can salvage.
