power

I don't know if this is useful for anyone but here goes. A while ago I posted asking what power steering fluid was ok for my Ibiza. There seemed to be a lot of confusion over which was the correct one. Some were saying ATF and some were saying that the correct VAG stuff was vital. I spoke...

I've inherited a Pro Performance power washer (B&Q jobby) from my dad, and its a brilliant machine, but i'm after a snow foam loance for it and just wondered if its possible to get one to fit it (i'm assuming the powerwasher is made by one of the big boys but i dont know which one) This is...

Hi, Just noticed that the 12v power socket in the rear console is not working in my Altea XL 2.0 TDi Stylance. I assume this is a blown fuse. Checked the manual and can only find a reference to a fuse for the cigarette lighter. The front cigarette lighter and power socket in the boot both...

There's been a few questions on this before. I've done a search and can't find a specific answer to my question. I have a '97 GTi 8v and my power steering is goosed. I'm not entirely sure if it's the pump or belt. It squeals when I turn and it's starting to get really stiff even when driving...

Hi. I've just returned home and on my way back the car drove really well. However, coming off a roundabout changing 2nd to 3rd gear I had no power. I changed gear again and still had no power. I got home and pulled up, I swear I could smell melted/melting rubber. On top off that it feels like...

Hi I have a Leon FR 180 Petrol. While I am driving the car it will lose power. There is no warning lights and no throttle response. This will only happen for a few seconds and & then kicks in again. It is a intermittent fault but I have never come across this before. Can anyone help...

Anybody got any suggestions for a quick and simple power fix. Filters etc have crossed my mind but if anyone knows of a cheap solution then Id be grateful!

Yesterday on my way out, coming off the drive I noticed the steering was very heavy (like there was no assistance), but I thought it may have been due to the car sitting for a few days not moving, as once the car warmed up it was alright. But drove the car again just earlier, noticed the...
