I have noticed in my 2009 VW Golf GTI DSG that the engine fan is making a loud screeching noise when I drive. What could be the cause of this and how do I resolve it ?

The screaching is probably a drive belt not the fan, with engine running open hood and rev engine, if you hear the noise spray some WD 40 onto the alternator belt, it should quiten it, if it does then replace the belt

SOURCE: how to fix a stuck seat belt VW GTI 2009

I just solved the problem for a stuck rear center seat belt in my 2002 Jetta.

Flip the base seat cushion forward against the front seat backs. Trace down along the belt to its tether point on the floor. The belt is sewn around a steel loop. The loop is anchored to a black steel hook. A thin silvery retainer plate is spring tensioned on top of the loop to prevent it from sliding off of the hook when the seat back is folded.

Therefore, you need to press the silvery retainer plate away from the hook (push up) to allow the loop to be slid from the hook. The belt was tight with the seat back in the upright position, so it was necessary to fold the seat back forward to create slack in the belt. Now push the belt loop towards the trunk and slide it off of the end of the hook (only possible with the retainer plate pushed up out of the way).

Now with total release of tension on the system via the bottom end of the seat belt being untethered and with the seat back returned to the upright position, normal extension and retraction of the belt will be reestablished. Next, simply extend the seat belt and slide the loop back into place over the floor hook. It snaps past the silvery retainer plate without all the effort required to hold the plate up during removal of the loop during disassembly.

Check again, the seat belt should be extending and retracting properly. Now just put the seat cushion back into regular position and you will be able to safely buckle up three people across the back seat.

It took about as long to do this repair as it has taken to post this answer to the problem. Note, the seat belt safety mechanism only allows normal extension and retraction of the belt when the seat back is upright.

SOURCE: Coolant leak in VW Golf mark 5 1.9 TDi auto DSG

There is, however, an air outlet into the driver's foot area. If the heater core is leaking, the air coming through the heater core will carry the droplets into the entire air ducting system. The driver's foot area may be the closest outlet. If it smells like coolant, you need to replace the heater core regardless of where in the cabin the coolant is coming out.

You don't. There are special tools and procedures. You'll have to take it to the dealer, I'm afraid. Hope this helps.

My 2005 golf 5 gti dsg currently has 89000km on the clock. It is used extensively in traffic covering 60km/day/week. It has developed an irritating "knocking noise" in the engine.Booked it at a local VW...

hi,
i couldn't say for certain without hearing the noise , but i have replaced one or two "dual mass flywheels" on these models, alot of people don't realise the dsg actually has a dual mass flywheel.
