It may sound funny but if you have a/c check to see that the water drain pipe is not disconnected allowing the water to flow back into the car

dead simple m8 the obvious, jack up the car and suport with axle stands, take off your lid to your brake fluid (needed for when the piston is pushed back in) then lock your wheel over for easy acces,
undo the two bolts holding on your caliper at the rear once you have the caliper off tacking car not to stretch the brake hose, locate the long thin rods traveling through your brake pad holdin it to the caliper and tap it out witha punch or screwdriver remove the retaining clip and out they pop. give the caliper a quick clean wind in the piston with a g clamp or somthing similar slot in your new pads and repeat the procces to refit all in all it should take you 10 - 20 mins a side, hope this helps

from your description, it sounds like a bad ignition switch.

Problem with your throttle valve or the air flow meter. Get it scanned and you will see clear.

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

Check the wiring to your coolant temperature sensor intended for the AC system. or replace the sensor.

there you are the shape of a 1999 vw golf

Hello Joe, If the engine has over heated it may have blown the head gasket, you say the engine noise changed and you have power loss, get a mechanic to check it and try not to drive it

Sounds as if there is a short in the ignition system, clicking sounds when the key is engaged usually means a weak battery or the juice isnt reaching the starter due to a malfunction in your ingition system.

that sounds like a fault in the aunty theft alarm thats what it is suposed to do when working correctley if you have the windows down and lock the car the windows and doors lock not suposed to open the windows when you unlock it get the alarm checked hope this helps

fuse, starter motor(either wires or the whole thing)

My guess would be a fuse has blown, which has cut-off current to you windows and starter, and you didn't notice the latter until you shut off the car of course. Give the fusebox a quick check before making any assumptions.

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, SRS and BCM faults) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)
