Vw golf .... alpha...... safe 2

"2 safe" means that your radio was in safe mode, and then the code was improperly entered 2 times. you either need to disconnect your battery and leave it for up to 4 hours (i've been told), or leave your key in the ignition for around an hour.

once it comes out of "2 safe" mode, then it will just say SAFE and give you the numbers 1-0-0-0. You just need to enter the 4 digit code (using your pre-set numbers 1-2-3-4 to change the numbers), then hold the seek > button and your radio should come on.

If you don't have the code, call VW. they'll find your code for free. they did for me. if not they'll charge like $50 or something.

VW Golf MK3 wont start

fuel relay could be faulty. i think its number 30 or 167 in the fuse box under the driver side steering. it could also be the fuel pump or connector on the fuel pump under the black metal plate under your trunk carpet. you could try manually throwing in fuel into the intake to make sure its not your car's ecu or ignition system. if it starts and stays running it could be what took me a few months to discover after i had intermittent problems. there a small vacuum hose from the fifth injector on a 1997 mk3 gti (4 cylinder) that connects to the injector rail. i think its some kind of activation for the electronic injectors. my pipe was broken and i just cut it and my car hasnt been better since! i know this is an old question but i hope it helps someone out there!

2010 Volkswagen Golf key off directional signal start flashing on their own directional signals will not work under normal conditions. I replaced signal switch still flash on their own key off.

nothing worse than flood damage, if full dryout is not a cure? garage it and heat the garage for a week?(portable heater are sold and rented) bad harnesses and vast electronics damage. do not use acid based vinegar use electronic spray. acid causes more corrosion like putting out a fire with gasoline

My 2002 golf TDI turbo won't engage

There are several possible reasons why the turbo on your 2002 Golf TDI might not be engaging:
  1. Boost pressure issue: The most common cause of a non-engaging turbo is a boost pressure issue. This can be caused by a leak in the intake system, a damaged turbocharger, or a clogged air filter.
  2. Malfunctioning wastegate: The wastegate is a component that controls the amount of exhaust gas that flows through the turbocharger. If the wastegate is malfunctioning, it may not allow the turbo to engage properly.
  3. Faulty turbocharger control solenoid: The turbocharger control solenoid is responsible for regulating the amount of pressure that goes to the turbocharger. If the solenoid is faulty, it may not be able to control the pressure properly, leading to a non-engaging turbo.
  4. Electrical issue: There may be an issue with the electrical components of the turbo system, such as a faulty wiring harness, sensor or control module.
To diagnose the problem, you can check for any visible leaks in the intake system or damage to the turbocharger. You can also check the wastegate for proper function and inspect the turbocharger control solenoid for any signs of damage or failure. If you are unsure how to perform these checks, it is recommended to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

I have a VW Golf 1999 1.6 Petrol in Cyprus. In the winter the engine starts but runs rough for 20 minutes until it gets to normal temperature. In the summer it is less of a problem!

NO 1999 CAR RUNS GOOD NOW, UNLESS KEPT UP. it needs service and a tune up. does irregularly mean engine misfire? (spark plugs 24 years old is a hopeless act) no country or VIN told so what is there, iv'e no clue. no engine told and is and engine problem i guess. guess cold misfire, and RPM is what 8900 to say 1500? or 500rpm with egr stuck open or IAC stuck closed.
