edd_t Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Have put this on http://www.uk-mkivs.net but no luck from them lot yet!!! The bulb on my GF's Golf (mk4 1.8GTi Turbo) Petrol Gauge keeps going out, and coming back on. Only seems to do it after turning the engine off and back on. So its not like its a loose terminal each time we go over a bump etc. Have heard from someoene with a Beetle that it means it needs a service, but she isnt really up with cars so could just be loosing the plot. And it was only serviced 3000miles (5 months) ago... Anyone else with a Golf experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwire Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I also run a mk4 golf but have never had this before. If the car needs a service I think it just says service in the milage area when you have just turned on the ignition. Sorry I can't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have a dodgy needle or something mate. I drive a golf and am a member of UK-mkivs but have never heard of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakewebster Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 My mate has a mkiv and he has had nothing but problems with the electronics - ie dash lights, internal lights staging on etc. Not that this is helping you any as my mate may have an one off case. My seat has done some weird stuff like windows going down with the horn etc. Hope u get it sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 LOL - I must admit the VAG range can be strange... My SEAT's been fantastic, *touches wood* - the problems I have tend to be with the modifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
