Hi,
I'm living in southern Spain and have a blue 55 GTI that I drove over from England. I do not trust the garages here and desperately need advice.
1) There is a loud clicking noise coming from my left front light unit. It starts when the ignition key is in (half turn) and continues when the engin is running.
A Spanish garage told me that is it a rectifier. The noise continues whether the lights are on or off.
Question - Any ideas as to whats wrong? and will it do any damage to keep using the car before its fixed.
2) Every 5 weeks I have to regas my aircon. The garage in Gibraltar can not find any leeks. They have put 2 sealant kits in so far, but t his hasnt helped.
They have also put in a dye to show where the leaks are comming from, but no luck.
Question- how should I proceed. I here that the aircon systems in the 55/56 Golfs are not very good.
3) Is it easy to regas at home.
Many thanks Dave
