Poistka F35 by mala byť v kufri zásuvka ale neviem ju nájsť.neviete mi poradiť prosím
I had a problem with the windows and locks with my 2004 Golf . There is a relay card inside the panel on floor on the drivers side. That can get wet and short out. First place to check.
Very useful information. Thank you
I have a problem with my car Volkeswagen 4 1.6 Lt manual gearbox from time to time the engine shutdown while driving. It takes some time to restart the engine again. I have changed the fuel pump, the fuel filter,the the return, camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor but the problem still exists, please advise if there is any possibility to fix this problem
Best regards

There are several possible reasons why your car engine shuts down while driving, even after changing some of the critical components like fuel pump, fuel filter, return, camshaft sensor, and crankshaft sensor. Here are a few more potential causes and solutions you could consider:
1) The ignition system plays a crucial role in starting the engine and keeping it running. A faulty ignition coil or ignition module can cause your car to stall while driving. Consider having your car’s ignition system checked by a mechanic.
2) Electrical issues can also cause your car’s engine to shut down unexpectedly. A failing alternator, battery, or starter can disrupt the electrical system and cause the engine to stop. Have a mechanic inspect the electrical system to see if there are any problems.
3) Vacuum leaks in the engine can cause a sudden loss of power and result in stalling. Check for any vacuum leaks and repair them if found.
4) Blocked or damaged air intake system: A damaged or clogged air filter, throttle body, or mass airflow sensor can disrupt the air intake system and cause the engine to shut down. Check these components and replace or clean them as necessary.
5) A faulty fuel injector can cause a lean fuel mixture, resulting in stalling or rough idling. Consider having your fuel injectors checked or replaced by a mechanic.
In conclusion, the causes of engine stalling can be various, and it is difficult to diagnose without a proper inspection by a qualified mechanic.
