Hi there,
I have three problems with my mark II at the moment. I'd appreciate any help. If these questions have been asked before I apologise but I need explanations in layman's terms - I'm not a mechanic, even the Haynes manual bewilders me.
The car is losing power sometimes, I can feel it starting through the accelerator. It'll then struggle on hills and cut out when I come to lights if I don't keep the revs up. This usually only happens on longer journeys and because it happens generally in the morning or at night I think it's related to cold air temperature.
The heater doesnt work anymore. It blows fine but apart from a couple of seconds when first turned on it is cold. Is this the over zealous bypass valve I've seen on other posts?
There's a rattle from the front of the car when it's idling, going slow and especially going over bumps. It's more of a clatter really. I've tugged and pushed everything under the hood but there doesn't seem to be anything loose.Thanks.
