Its tricky enough if your not sure what your doing but ill run you through it. 1. remove top rocker cover and timing belt cover. 2 make up the position of the pully on the cam shaft at the top and the drive shaft at the bottom, this marks are you fail safe incase you cant time the engine. 3 remove the timing belt and pully tentioner, note if your going this far you are as well to replace the timing belt,tentioner and water pump. 4 On the cam shaft at the top if you force them to turn you will see a small indicator mark on the shaft this mark has to line up with the other indicator mark on the housing between the cam shaft and the cam shaft pully, once they line up your top end is timed, mark up the pully incase it moves. 5 on the drive shaft pully there is also markings that have to line up but you can also feel the position of the pully as you turn it, you will feel the piston been forced up and it is timed at top dead centre on cylinder one, which means the the piston has to be at the top just before the point of returning back down, using your feeling as a guide and the markings lined up you will have timing. also mark up this pully, your new marking should be very very close to the fail safe markings you put on at the start. when you have your marking replace the timing belt with the longest distance between pully contact going on first, try not disturb your timing or your hard work will have been for nothing, make sure the tentioner on the belt is tight but not to tight to the point where you ll stretch the belt or snap it, put everything back as you found it and crank the engine, job done, best of luck. hope this helps( rate me on my answer thanks )

I bought volkswagen golf 2 year 1987 i cant identifty the cars model weather its gli gti or some thing and the car is now consuming a lot of fuel the local mechanic told me that the couse for the fuel...

It the temperature sensor is faulty the ECM will think that the engine is constantly cold so it will keep the fuel to air ratio high constantly = the fuel consumption will be high. Your mechanic is probably right, and replacing the sensor is a relatively cheap job - less than 50€.
BTW to identify your exact model just look on it's ID badge, it's inside the engine bay .

2001 Volkswagen Polo Diagnostic Code 17895 I got this computer diagnostic code regarding ABS some sort of Train is missing. Anyone knows this?

Vw ABS codes are dealer specific, and are not accessable with consumer scanners. One of the brilliant inovations in the new VWs. It keeps you connected to the dealer. I know a lot of ways around VW's tricks, but not this one.

Coolant consumption

Are you sure you've checked everywhere around the engine block? What about arounr the oil filter as some has an oil cooler which tend to leak coolant? If it uses coolant, it must have gone somewhere and normally you should be able to see a trace of antifreeze leak aomewere.
Let us know how you get on.Cheers.
