ibrodex: Thanks so far at redcliff: I live arround ojuelegba axis and work in maryland. The car is a manual transmission. I don't normally go out, at times I'm in doors though out the weekends.
that's less than 20km to and fro everyday..You can service the engine every two months. This includes oil change, oil filter change and fuel filter change. You are good to go..

Car Talk › Re: Golf 3 Or Golf 4 Or ???????? PLS ADVISE by redcliff: 10:32pm On Aug 09, 2013
They are both great cars. my dislike about the Golf4 is that it does not have enough ground clearance you know how bad Lagos roads are? they'l just keep damaging components underneath the vehicle. In terms of maintenance, the Golf3 is way cheaper than the Golf4 and the Golf 3 has more interior room than the Golf4 but Aesthetics, Give it to the Golf3. I think you should go for 3 because it better serves as a run around car more than 4. how do I know this? Ask any cab driver. They'l tell you so.

ibrodex: Thanks so for the information. I will inquire about all that you say. But if there are still other thing to know about it please do let me know. And on issue of my driving pattern, I am still a novice in driving.
Looking forward to hear more from you.
Thanks.
You did not specify what transmission you have. If its manual or Auto. Is it a car you would be driving every day and how many KM would you cover? A normal driver who just goes to work and back in the evening and light outings on weekends should service every two months. atleast.
Car Talk › Re: A Newbie Need Your Advice. by redcliff: 5:07pm On Aug 09, 2013
Okay, let me try to be as comprehensive as possible. This is me being primp here.

Firstly, I'm sure since when your aunt started using it she has not changed the airfilter. Its the big black box that has a pipe connected to the injector. Its not a hard thing to do. Unclip it from its sitting look at the filter to see if its dirty, if its not leave it, if it is, I suggest you should change it. It filters the air that comes into the engine and allows for proper air/fuel mixture. How to know there is proper air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber is that your exhaust emitts water when u start your engine.

Look at the brake fluid canister what's the instruction on the cover? Does it say DOT4 fluid only? Most golf 3s require DOT4 fulid but its pretty scarce and most people use DOT3 and because its not manufacturer recommended the brake becomes spongy sometimes. Does it have ABS? If you need the DOT4 fluid, I can recommend where to get from.

Also, the radiator, is it only water your aunt used to use in it? If no, ask her what radiator coolant she used so u can continue using same by topping when you need to. If she uses water, I'l advice you go to the service manual (if any) to look for manufacturer specified coolant to use. Before then u need to drain out all the water and start a new history of recommended radiator coolant.

What's your driving pattern like? Are you a regular driver or you drive less often. On an average how many KM do you cover a day. That would determine how often you should service your engine.. That consists of mainly fuel filter,oil and oil filter change.

Always be there when you want any job done on your car because mechanics could be funny and if you notice any fault, its adviceable to look it up online properly before taking it to a mechanic garage.

And if you can please wash that engine of yours. It lookd pretty muddy. And you have to be careful about it and don't let them use pressure washer to do it. It should be done manually. Cover your coil, alternator, injector and distributor housing properly with polythene bag. If possible, do it yourself to ensure water doesn't have any chance of getting into these delicate parts when they are in the process of washing it.

Is it manual or automatic? If its manual please have them check your gear oil. Its really important because most people do not know a manual tranny uses gear oil. Take it to a mech shop to help you check it. Sometimes people just drive it that way without oil and you know what that means when a mechanism of such needs lubrication..if its auto, I'l like to believe the power steering canister also works for the transmission. I'm not sure of that because I haven't seen the hood of an auto golf3 before. Ask your aunt when last she changed the fluid. You can do that too.

The reason I made this detailed is so that the car has a new history with you...I'l post under of the hood of mine for you to see..

Car Talk › Re: A Newbie Need Your Advice. by redcliff: 8:59am On Aug 09, 2013
Hello friend, there are series of questions that need to be answered before help can be proferred to you. Judging from the pics, its a Nigerian used car right?

1. What year is d model?
2. Hw many miles or km has it done?
3. Did you know the prvious owner and the history of the car?
4. Does it has climate control (AC).
5. Have you done a normal routine engine maintenance on after buying it? E.g, oil change, oil filter, fuel filter.
6. Does it have its thermostat still on. How to find out is if the fan picks up immediately the car starts.

Subsequent questions would arise in the course of our intereaction.

Nb: DOHC dual-overhead-cam engine. I'l like to think its an improvement on SOHC where S-represents single. So its an upgrade so to speak.

Car Talk › Re: Golf 3 Fuel Pump Making Noise by redcliff(op): 6:42pm On Aug 08, 2013
kingschild123: There are several possible causes for this
problem.
1. Low Fuel
Fuel pumps work by pressurizing the fuel
and sending it to the engine. A low fuel
level can cause the engine to work much
harder to build the necessary pressure to
pump the fuel. To analyze the problem,
start the car when the fuel is low (below
one-fourth tank) and listen for the sound.
If the whine is audible, fill the tank
immediately. When you start the vehicle
again, the whine should be reduced or
absent. If not, there may be another
problem.
2. Damaged Pump
The whining noise may be caused by a
damaged fuel pump. The fuel pump may
be punctured or dented, reducing its
efficiency. To resolve this issue, the fuel
tank must be accessed and repaired or
removed. The location of the fuel tank
depends on the construction of the
vehicle. In a vehicle equipped with a
carburetor, the fuel pump is often located
outside of the fuel tank. With a vehicle
that has a fuel injector, the fuel pump is
located inside of the tank. It is best to get
a mechanic to address this problem.
3. Impurities in Gas Tank and Engine
If the fuel pump is blocked by engine
gunk, dirt, impurities in the gasoline or
anything else, it will respond with a
whine or some other very noticeable
noise. Debris in the fuel tank can be
sucked into the pump most easily when
the tank is low. This debris gets caught in
the pump and reduces the pressure. This
problem must be fixed by removing the
blockage which should be performed by
a mechanic. Using fuel additives that
clean the engine and keeping the fuel
tank filled may also be a preventative
measure.
4. Other Damaged Parts
A whining fuel pump may also be a sign
that other parts of the car are damaged. If
a hose that transfers fuel to the engine or
carburetor is damaged, it will release air
into the fuel system and reduce the
pumping pressure, resulting in the noise.
If a connection is loose between the fuel
pump and any other part, the same result
may occur. The vehicle should be
examined by a professional who can
pinpoint the damage and make repairs.
was finally able to fix it. The fuel pump was faulty. I had to get a really good one. I'm so pissed off right now because money was wasted on the other one and i did not get it back. Thanks again..
