@xandru I suspect the flexible pipe in the exhaust system may have gone porous. This may also relate to your post #2. I suspect a well-documented issue with the water sealing of the door.

Fan power and earth cables spring to mind.

Claim, because it should last the life of the car and is a safety issue; chrome plate is sharp.

... or a phone glued to their ear...

Not really with this engine. There are good options with the 1.8T and 1.9TDi, but I'm also not sure if they'd be available in Lebanon.

Well, Palestine is not a country... but a region of the Middle East.

Well yes, if the car battery is lower on charge than the one you're charging it from. You might also want to note that the ancillary socket is only rated at about 200W maximum, so it will take about 5 hours to transfer 1kW of electricity this way.

On this basis, ask for the "dealer principal".

That's about where the lumbar adjustment is on higher spec mk1 and mk2 cars. I'd expect to find a seat fold control about where you illustrate the (unlabelled) backrest rake control.

Agreed. OK, I don't read @r$ebook or tw@tter feeds, but I'm inclined to say that, if what we said was the least of what he took, the trolling the Tidy One got was mostly self-inflicted. Jade made her point (eventually; I knew she could), Glynn and Jessica Hawking both managed to finish all 3 races in at least the sort of positions the Tidy One would get on a good day.

ground beef...

Believe what you like, but I've driven cars with leather covered gear knobs and steering wheels.

@wilson-uk-85 - I agree with @e-Roottoot, subject to the note that I would not buy Dunlop tyres as I find they have neither good aquaplane resistance not wear.

Have you tried doing a reset on the "close position"? It's someplace in the driver's handbook.

Try checking the fuses.

I don't know about the mk III, but in the mk I L&K everything except the carpet was wrapped in leather.

Sadly this sometimes happens, and it's not an easy or obvious diagnosis without access to the car.

Not as such, but you may need a different pressure if you've changed make/model, and hence tyre construction. You do need to reset the TPMS having fitted new tyres.

@ktm690rr - I think you've cracked the immobiliser/alarm chip in the "spare" key. AFAIK a VAG dealership is one of the few places that can supply a replacement, and program it to your car.

You have to find replacement glass(es) that allow at least this transmittance.

Across VAG. BTW I've experienced "Cold Norm Hot" lights on other makes, and they were also useless, because by the time they went Hot the fan had kicked in at high.

He says he's swapped coil packs about, but the fault has stayed on cylinder 3.

You reckon? Mine "has" a temperature gauge, but it reads below 50C, and above 105C, but between those water temperatures it always reads 88C.

Thank you. I'd advise checking the fan motors and thermo-switches, because that means the fans aren't starting, and that in turn means either the fan fuse has blown or the motors or switches have failed. So:- Check the fan fuse(s) in the fuse box. It could be that simple. If that isn't the issue... Run a direct wire from the battery negative terminal to the power terminal on one of the fans. If the fan now works, the issue is the thermo-switch, and it it doesn't then the issue is almost certainly the motor.

Can you try "answering the actual question that was asked" please? What you have told me instead is that your car has a pressurised cooling system, which I already knew. I have an idea about a likely fault, and want you to answer a question about your car that may well tell me if I am correct or not.
