Newbie with a question?

Hi all,

Just wanted to say hello to all you members out there. I have recently bought a Golf 1.9 TDI in white as my second car.

Gave it a good wash, clean, polish & wax and it has came out very well.

I noticed a couple of parts in the engine bay hanging loose?! Please feel free to take a look at the pics and let me know if this is how it should be?

Do I do this?

And what could this be?

Only mod planned is bigger wheels with decent tyres the handling is hard to get used to but I am sure its easy to improve.

First Diesel vehicle I have ever owned, man is it loud!! lol

Thats all for now, I will look forward to your replies.

Thanks,

Rav

I'll take a look at mine, Its almost identical engine layout format thing, I'm off to work i can check it at work, if i remember and have time, i'll post.

btw

Whats the last pic all about, never seen that in my engine compartment?

Great thanks, the last pic is a wire I found I think its probably an extra connector on the wiring loom maybe used on another engine?

Yes you do do that..

Hey Golf guy lol

Does your one make any turbo noise? Mine doesn't

**WhiteGolfTdi** · 01-09-2009,12:08 AM

Thanks for letting me know really wanted to make sure...

I dont think it makes a turbo noise all I know is that it makes a lot of noise and rattles.

My other car is a very quiet petrol so it has taken some getting used to lol.

The one thing I thought was so smart is that you can open or close all windows if you keep the key turned in the door after doors have locked/unlocked!

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

I love that feature too, whats even better is if you put and alarm on it and then hold the open/close button it'll do the same!

Yea that would be great, need to look into adding remote locking.

**XPS420** · 01-09-2009,03:31 PM

Afcourse, Please let me know first when you find an easy to install Remote C/L

I was thinking of buying an Alarm of ebay for something like £30 inc P&P all for the sake of R/C/L Would you know how to fit it? I don't!

That sounds like the same one I was thinking about from ebay. I guess it would come with instructions and even if it did not I am sure the info will be easily available online.

Might give it a go at some stage and if it works I will let you know how.
