Car TalkRe: Golf3 Differences by Digriz(m): 11:32am On Feb 02, 2016
billionjoys:
Sienna, Ikenna and other auto wizards Please, I need the full details about the engine of my Golf 3,
The number is 2E161363
The Golf 3,
I got it at Mileage 165000km, with good factory fitted AC, Auto Gear, Power steering, I checked the sit belt it reads 1992. the front windows are press button, the back windows are manual wining.
Recently, I notice that my auto gear slips for like 5 to 10 seconds attimes after slowing down with BREAK when on D drive especially on rough untarred road,
this happens I guess when the engine is warmed up. because it does not happen early in the morning when moving out,
Every other gear works perfectly, the car does not jerk at all.
The car moves smoothly even when shifting gears.
I have changed the ATF with EcoMAx Dexron III, and the filter well cleaned by my mechanic, I was there with him.
I test drove it there and it worked fine.
Since then, this issue became random, like that today, like perfect tomorrow.
Then I called my mechanic, he said the Car will keep getting better with time as the ATF get used by the Car.
Though this is still within a week.
Please, What do I do.

And at the back, the badge is Golf GLI,
what is the implication of this badge.

I also noticed that 20litres of petrol could only take me to 80kilometres

Siena and other auto wizards, you are doing a great job here, God shall reward you accordingly.
I hv golf mk3 auto 2.0 ltr engine and my mpg is 10 litres for 80km and I even complain that it's too much.

Car TalkRe: High RPM But Not High Speed Please Help. by Digriz(op): 1:39pm On Jan 31, 2016
aladconsults:
What brand,year of car do u drive!All the same,check your throttle cable n check if not taut,if it is,try and loosen it by releasing/adjusting the two nuts.Also,check any vacuum hose that connects to the throttle body/injector mouth/engine,it might have a leak somewhere or loose.Lastly,u can check ur injector mouth for a screw and turn anti-clockwise if it goes high on idle as well as you cleaning your ICV(idle control valve) with carburettor cleaner.
This step finally solved my problem, I told my kazeem what to do and he discovered that the vacuum hose to the throttle body is leaking. He also clean the ICV which is clogged wt greasy dust particles.I even enjoys the response of the car better nw than d last 2yrs.
Thanks a lot Aladconsults and others that contributed.

AUTEL vag 450,someone said that my ECU might be OBD1 and not OBD2,do u think so. My car is obd2 and has obd2 port,scanner then link only to the TCU bt link error to ECU.

Sounds like a gearbox issue. If your MIL is illuminated. Run a scan if you are in lagos come for diagnosis. Bb pin is 7BE1C522
Am not in Lagos,as regards the gearbox,it has been working flawlessly without any problem in gear selection even yesterday b4 i travelled this morning.
I don't want this shade tree mechanics to mishandle it with their try and error method,i need assistant frm experience folks here b4 taking it to the mechanic.
Car TalkHigh RPM But Not High Speed Please Help. by Digriz(op): 9:51am On Jan 27, 2016
This morning while driving, my car seized or sputtered, and afterward the car was hitting 4000 rpm's when i was only going 60km. It would go higher if I tried to accelerate past that.When i remove foot frm pedal the rpm will still remain on the point until i floor the pedal then it will come down to around 2300rpm. i think this is a problem but am not sure where the problem comes from.
Could it be trottle issue,mass air flow sensor or low fluid? The fluid was normal yesterday b4 i engage on the journey ths morning.
My transmission is okay without any code frm the scan though my scan tool doesn't link to my engine, thus i couldn't scan the engine bt can read codes frm the transmission. i dont know why it can't see my engine.(vw golf mk3 auto 1996)

Car TalkRe: Gear Selection Issue On Golf 3 by Digriz(op):
mayor2013:
Are you sure it was only the gear box water was able to penetrate?
Water must have affected a lot especially the CAN

I fear this problem is a mighty one. Water a total destroyer of electronics, the first fault error code can very much make the car stall. Is yours a drive by wire or cable?

You need a very competent technician to help you out. If you are in lagos call 08156087872 or 08165520837, bb pin is 7BE1C522
thanks for ur attention, it is drive by wire, am not in Lagos.

My golf 3 auto started having a gear issue after draining the water in the gearbox that entered thru the coolant.It was moving and selecting well when d water was still inside d gear box.
The drive couldn't engage neither d reverse after flushing it wt fresh ATF. The mechanic discovered that one of the IC in the ECU has burnt,I bought another ECU and it started engaging bt hard select from first to second and stalls from second to third bt move smoothly to other gears.
I scan it and it show these fault codes.

When others were fortifying their team, Mouthinho said he has a strong squad and wt Falcao, he will defend the title.
He even went on hijacking players United were interested in,bt Pedro is no where now to deliver him from d hands of relegation battle.
Even Pedro will be saying had I know,... nw am swimming in the ocean of relegation battling to survive bt wt United,I would hv been cruising on top of the table enjoying.
But we United are happy that we got Martial afterwards and not dead wood Pedro.
I even see more dropping of points frm the agbero club

I bet Giggs will do better than LVG.He has first admitted that united cnt win the league this season upon our squad.The man is a complete looser and weak to manage united.PSV still maintained their record of beating him in their home starting frm the time he was in Ajax.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Digriz(m): 8:32am On Sep 16, 2015
2. United now consists of mediocre players. Even Mata couldn't control a simple sitter. This isn't d Mata i watched at Chelsea. That one was more deadly and could take on any defender. Seems playing him on the wings has severely dulled his senses.

3. EPL teams continue their poor showing in the UCL. Even ManCity wit all their domination in the league couldn't beat a Juventus side who were witout a win so far this season. SMH!!

4. LVG is the major reason United are going thru this terrible form. The man still has no idea how to come from behind and win a match. If we're losing, all he knows is to bring on Fellaini and start throwing long balls. There is a limit to what Fellaini can do na. Abi the guy sha no be magician...
LVG is a disgrace to World Class coaches everywia and i ll be the happiest United fan once he runs down his contract nxt summer.
[/quote]This is the Genesis of all the problems facing united coz we have the players who cn do it for us. LVG stupid tactics is United problem bcus nw that we hv fast forwarders who can play counter attacking football well,why still adopting possession method. Martial,memphis,young are fast players who cn take defenders out on a counter attacking football and cn also shoot well.

1. Like i said b4, Martial cant be called to start this kind of games for us! He's only a 19 yr old. His naivety was found out yesterday. We needed an experienced CF to utilise the host of chances we created in dat 2nd half and we'd ve equalized and buried PSV. Nice one LVG.
! angry angry
how many chances was created for him that he couldn't utilize tell me?

Swapping ADM wt Moura is a wrong deal, we need d money for a top defender bt benzema and de gea makes sense.

This is the importance of pre season and the game against PSG just came at the right time. We united fans have bn clamouring for reinforcement in our defence which has always bn our weakest department and yet LVG isn't serious about it. This display by Jones have just exposed our weak defense again and if nothing is done, I fear we wl not do well this coming season.
We need one or even two solid defenders wt premier league experience and may be one more good striker.

Happy that chicharito is staying.
Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal has
had a change of heart regarding Javier
Hernandez’s future at Old Trafford after
admitting that he will now give the Mexican a
chance to prove himself after the departure of
Van Persie.
ESPN are reporting that West Ham are said to
have made an enquiry for the striker only to
be told Hernandez, 27, is not for sale. With
the departure of Van Persie and Falcao
United are in the market for a new striker but
could set to be content with Rooney, Wilson
and Hernandez.

Chicharito will definitely impress LVG this coming season and he wl score many goals.Am just happy that the manager has decided to give him chance like Herrera.

I know one Yoruba guy who's a wizard in car electrical, he's the person that brought my nightmare to an end. I took the car to him and he test drive it and ask me to come today, he doesn't use scanner bt he went straight to the distributor and do some adjustment,that's all.

I came to zuba park late and only two buses was left for Lagos night trip and I hv to choose the old type of the bus upon already collected ticket for the 1414.
They left bf us but had a head on collision wt a trailer truck around Abaji leaving only one survivor after the accident.
That road is bad and so many blood has been spilled on that road and the worst is that casualties are almost huge.

U are wrong, that snake is harmless and not a green mamba though I won't blame the op for killing it. Both look similar only that the green mamba will like to attack when confronted bt this one will run on sighting you.
