Oil light came on :-(

(1/3) > >>

nc35:
Been a bit of a sh1t day in the Golf today :-(

1.  Tyre pressure sensor light came on this mornng. Filled up at the garage all Tyres at about 2.4 bar
     So no idea what all that was about.
2.  Coolant level light came on. Didn't look that low, but added water to nearly max lavel.
3.  Leeds to Manchester on M62 steady run car sounded a little rough, then just as I was exiting for Prestwich oil light came on.
     1l of oil got it to the correct level.
4.  Stopped off in Leeds.  Started up again and rear wiper stayed on.

Don't you just hate days like these.

Don't believe the dealers serviced the car properly

You seem to have had nearly every mk5 GTI niggle in 1 day pal. They are all known issues,
the tyre low pressure system is inaccurate at the best of times and is known to throw up the odd random indication.
The 2.0T can use a bit of oil, some are worse than others but I'd keep an eye on it.
Folk have had issues with mysterious coolant loss myself included and then it just stops as quick as it started.
The rear wiper with a mind of its own is a known fault and usually a warranty issue.

I know non of this wil make you feel any better right now and I'd keep an eye on the coolant/oil issue but hopefully its nothing serious, I'd get it straight back to the dealer too :happy2:

Is the NC35 name a reference to your motorcycle tastes? :smiley:

nc35:
First bike  :smiley:
did have an rc as well!!!! Sold it for nearly double what I paid. Sorry to brag.
Now got a little Monster 996 S4R
but yes the NC35 will always be my first love  :wink:

back to the Golf
not in warranty - so should I be worried or getting a warrant in place?
Hopefully going over to Mat Ed30 this weekend.
Making lots of noises (not helped by dunlops) wanted someone to have a look & listen.

Thanks for the reply.

Btw. You must be a biker to have known!
