• UK£5k: used Fiesta or new Panda? 8 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I've boiled down the replacement options to a choice of either: - Part-ex it against a brand new Panda 1.1 with air-con; - Part-ex it against a a 3 year old (old shape) Fiesta 1.3 special edition (alloys, air-con, 20k miles). The new Panda will cost me UK£5000 plus the old Fiesta as trade-in. Buying the used Fiesta will cost me UK£4500.

• Audi A4 heater - not much heat! 19 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  For no apparent reason and with no warning my heater (2000 Audi A4 Avant 2.4 petrol engine) was hardly working yesterday. The air-con aspect seems fine in so far as cold air can be produced, but even on a high heat only a little warm air was forthcoming - to be precise plenty of air flow but only a little heat. Engine water temperatures showed completely normal, header tank at correct level so nothing out of the ordinary.

• VW Golf fan / AC only works on full 9 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, The interior fan on my mark 4 golf (the basic model, not the fancy automatic digital climate one) only works on full blast. The air con light comes on when it'd turned on, but no air comes out of the vents unless the knob is turned to the '4' setting. I''m seriously hoping it's a simple fix and a matter of a faulty knob... any ideas please?
• Can I do this for 6k? 1 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  I am looking to get a Network Q Y Reg old shape Vectra (1.8 or 2.2) with air con, ABS a CD player, and 2 front air bags and less than 30k on the clock for a budget of 6k. I've only started looking this weekend, and prices on these kind of cars seem to be about 1k adrift. Could dealers be knocked back this kind of amount or am I expecting too much?
• VW Golf Mk5 1.9TDI - Pressure in the coolant expansion tank 30 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  We have a Mk5 1.9TDI, and lately the heater doesn't seem to be blowing any hotter that lukewarm (with and without the air-con engaged).  Coupled with the this, when you open the coolant expansion tank cap, there a sudden whoosh of pressurised air, and the collant level rises by about 2cm! Could there be air in the coolant system which is causing both of the above?
