ciderman4 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hi all, I'm new today to this forum and I was hoping that somebody could help me with a couple of issues that may be something and nothing (hopefully the latter !). I've got a Golf PD TDI (130) 03' plate and recently I have noticed the following :- 1) I have a fairly loud clicking sound coming from behind the glove compartment that sounds like something is trying to reset itself (I understand that the relays are located here). I thought it might be something to do with the aircon but starting the car with the aircon off makes no difference. The sound is evident from the first turn of the key even without the engine being started. 2) The clutch is making a squeeking noise when feathering it around the biting point at low speed. This is particularly noticeable when parallel parking and I can actually feel a slight rubbing/abrasion through my foot. The car was chipped 18 months ago but I wouldn't think that this would have any relevance. Any comments/information that you can provide would be most welcome. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Steve <font color="black"> </font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Try pressing the air-con recirculation button and see if the clicking changes? The clutch sound like it might be the flywheel on it way out with the feeling you get through the pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulkbear Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have never had these problems that your golf is suffering from and by the sounds of it, it is a job for the M.I.B'S (Men In Blue with little VW's on there shirts) * The Clicking from behide the glove box sounds like a faulty air flap motor (never replaced one on a golf) * The squeeking nosie could be a case of lubing up the joint at the top of the clutch pedel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman4 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Thanks for the info. I will check it out. With regard to the flywheel, sounds unlikely seeing i have only done 21k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman4 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Thanks for the advice. Think i better take it to the dealership to have them run a diagnostic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Where is the indicator relay on a golf? Mines (Passat)behind/ built into the hazard switch. It has a mind of its own and chatters regularly. Changing the relay/ switch only made the chatter quieter Not bothered changing the indicator stalk coz i am going to upgrade to cruise control, this will replace the stalk in question. Only a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Mulkbear, this is a VAG COM scan fault on my car,my chattering is definately the indicator relay. Just curious as to what this motor flap fault will cause. My air con works great so i havn't really bothered with this fault. 1 Fault Found: 01274 - Air Flow Flap Positioning Motor (V71) 37-00 - Faulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman4 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Tobes, your a genius ! Pressed aircon re-circulation button and noise has disappeared. I assume that means problem solved and its normal ? Any idea why it happens ? thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But least you know how to stop the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Thanks Mulkbear. I will check it works in all positions, but i am sure it does. I have reset the codes and it comes back immediately. Dont think its sporadic. Seems to think theres a fault when there isn't one I also have a thermal protection fault on one door! It all seems to work correct but again the fault comes on straight after a reset. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulkbear Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 i have never used VAG-COM but do you know if it has measuring blocks ? or final control testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 yes it does have measuring blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulkbear Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 mmmmm i hate that dam VAG-COM its going to put me out of a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Its only good if you know what it all means!! Sadly i dont understand it all yet. The idea was to get one and learn all about it while the cars running ok. Then when i get a problem i can sort it. Or more likely, post it on here for advice from all the nice people like you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
