When I bought my current Mk 6 Golf the steering wheel was quite sticky. I cleaned it off with a mild detergent and water and put a tiny amount of R M Williams leather conditioner-any brand would...

Mostly my T Cross starts instantly, but lately I have had a problem that I experienced when the vehicle was new. It fails to respond to the starter button, without even the starter motor tuning over;...

Stiffed no doubt, picked it up at Crick's Maroochydore. It wouldn't lock at all, so couldn't leave it on the street or in carparks with the vehicle unlocked. I'll have to look at it as theft...

Thanks Hillbilly, I eventually removed enough of the liner to access the latch and replace it with one from the dealer -$180.00- unfortunately. This car spends a fair bit of it's life in carparks...

Even with a set of pry tools I am finding it difficult to remove the hatch liner to gain access to the latch mechanism so that I can replace it. Any clues? I think that I must have to remove the...

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that for about $450 you can have parking sensors retrofitted at a car audio shop. Cheers-John

I think that the questioner is seeking help and suggestions to prolong the life of his vehicle. A used low km engine is certainly an alternative, but in an environment where used car prices are...

It seems to me that it's likely cylinder 2 exhaust valve is burnt and you will probably be down to about 80psi on that cylinder.Take the advice above and have it tested ASAP. Cheers-John

Great advice from Lucas. I have Ceramic Coating on one of my cars- T -Cross- but I had it applied through the dealer from new, and it is subject to the same warranty as the vehicle, and with no...

I have had my T-Cross stop dead at a drainage grate in the middle of a shopping centre car park. No big deal, but I thought that I had hit something at the time. Cheers-John

I think that if you read the owner's manual, you will see that the system does not detect stopped cars. I don't think that it's a fault. It may well be an unwelcome characteristic that you have to...

Hi offroad, I bought a second hand Golf with only one key and had a locksmith on the Sunshine Coast programme a new one to the car with their electronic equipment and it cost $280.00. It has a...

Calling it theft may be a bit ambitious, as the features are in the vehicle but unused. If they were discovered ( unlikely) during a service, then the dealer may remove them . I think that is also...

Hi and welcome, I feel that any car driven sympathetically, yet with vigour and regular servicing will perform well. My Golf MK 6 runs well, but little things in interior trim wear out and can be...

It's always easier on the video Tony. Good work mate. Cheers-John

Tony, Things are not always as they seem as I found out recently when the fan on my MK 6 Golf stopped. It was due to a dysfunctional valve in the compressor causing things to freeze up and stop...

Thanks Apu, I'll go ahead and order one now especially as the tabs can be located. Cheers-John

Thanks for the info Lucas; I priced one at the dealer at $320. I'll follow your suggestions. Cheers-John

Hi, Has anyone ordered an under bonnet insulation pad? I notice that there is a variety of prices and would appreciate a recommendation. It seems that it is relatively easy to install and your...

Hi Venomqld, It cost $605 which you would have to balance against the cost of a new compressor- guess around $1500- $2000. I'm happy with the result and put it down to being able to give a clear...

I had a problem with the A/C on my MK 6 Golf. After say about 30 minutes at highway speeds, the air flow stopped and the fan speed slowed considerably. Mark Armstrong at Marks Mobile Auto Air...

Replacing the sticky door pulls on my Golf MK 6 couldn't have been easier. With the right trim removal kit and it's plastic pry bars of different shapes and sizes it took about ten minutes for both...

Thanks again, I'm going to take some time on Sunday morning as I'm working Saturday and I don't want to rush it. I'm often impetuous, so I'll have to take a chill pill. Cheers.

Thanks Hillbilly, I had a look today at the new ones,as the car is with my wife today, and I think that the forked tool will work the best. It's handy to have the new ones, as you can see the clip...

Thanks Lucas. Cheers-John
