Re: Please help Sold Car Privately

Stick to your guns then & tell him where to go. Would you buy a 2010 golf privately without having it checked out first. Well i wouldnt so again it comes back to buyer beware. If he gets aggresive just get the mrs ti call the police whilst you try to calm the situation. Its his own fault & w...

Re: Please help Sold Car Privately

Did you wright sold as seen on the reciept & get him to sign a copy for yourself? If so just tell him to go away. The very worse he can do is take you to court but doubt he will want to after payin legal fees with a 50/50 chance of winning. You are private arent you.. How many cars u had registe...

Re: Please help Sold Car Privately

As far as i know its buyer beware when it comes to a private sale unless your a trader & he can prove it. It is a commin practice for the golf to be returned to you with a stolen i.d on it & the legit i.d gone. Beware.. Did he fill out the yellow traders transfer slip from the v5. The car ma...

Re: fuel smell

Any decent motor factor will have a fuel filter in stock. Lift the bonnet & on the left side the filter canister /housing is staring you in the face. Looks like a silver dish with 4 spouts coming out facing different directions all connected to fuel lines. Around the edge of the dish is about 8 ...

Re: fuel smell

Check the fuel filter canister under the bonnet. The seal is weak & can easily leak. It's on the left side with 4 pipes coming off it. Mine only leaked when the car was started from cold so it must be under higher pressure till its warmed up. There may be some diesel on the inner wing & unde...

Re: how far on a tank

Might be worth getting under the car & inspect the fuel tank for any wet patches/weeping or jack it up & check for a sticky brake & check your tyre preassures. An economy re-map may also help.
