Couple of issues
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2018 12:05 am
Hi
Recently purchased my 2000 Polo Gti and loving her! Needs a bit of work done (she's nearly 18 with 140k on the clock I was kinda expecting it) I can do most of it myself but there's 2 things I can't find answers to.
Replaced the batteries in the keys and the central locking was working fine but now all of a sudden its stopped, got use the key manually and the alarm goes off if I don't start the engine quickly. I have to open each door independently, the boot doesn't lock amd the petrol filler cap was locked shut. Could it be a battery issue? the alarm was going off intermittently for no real reason for a few weeks before this all happened.
Also, when I turn on the heating/air con the whole car/engine seems to shudder and shake quite a lot more.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated
P.S Anyone know where I can get decent 2nd hand alloys for about 300
Thanks
