Few Niggling Problems! Help Appreciated

[20valveBZR]

Recently got a toledo 99 tdi se...

I picked it up for handy money but knowing she needed a little
bit of work...

So here is my list any help/info very much appreciated...

1: Central locking on the key dont work, and using the key on the drivers
door only unlucks/locks the drivier door...

2: AirCon...works every now and again (very little air pressure) and the screen display is kinda broke (lights up but doesnt fully display numbers)

3: Boot Handle is broke...when i pull it, theres no response
i climed into the boot from the rear seat the two/three rods were
hanging (i assume i need a new lock mechanism)

4: The Gears! The gearbox feels fairly heavy chaning gears...low oil in the box maybe? Or a clutch problem???


Any help welcome guys wanna get my toledo into tip-top shape asap!

in answer to your first question...check the fuses! sounds pretty much like the central locking fuse has blown (cant remember which number it is)

Air con sounds like you have a dodgy display (pretty common but not cheap to replace)

The boot mechanism may just have pulled apart, if not then yes a new mech is needed, but thats very cheap to get from a breakers

Gearbox sounds like an oil change or at least fill up is required.

I had the same problem on my '98 toledo central locking, unfortunately never got to the bottom of it - was forever reaching over to undo the passenger side. there is a battery in the key which is easy to change and may work

not sure about aircon, can get them 're-gassed'?

be careful when removing said parts for the boot catch down the breakers, there are some fiddly white plastic parts that are easy to snap when removing - patience or you'll end up at square 1 again

I'd imagine your'e somewhere up over 100k miles by now so a gearbox oil change certainly won't do any harm, failing that you can spruce up the linkage bits - may be a lot of crap in them, some lube may help once clean
