Hi, he should check the stop light bulbs which might be blown, as well as the wiring which can be broken or having a short circuit somewhere, and finally the relay which can be damaged. Alternatively, you can verify the stop lights activation sensor that is in the pedal. I hope you can find the solution to your problem and, if you do, please tell me which was the cause. Good luck.

Just got this 2007 2.0L. City Golf for my son. Error check engine code came on for coolant issues. Code cleared using a reader. We had an extremely dead battery and had to install new one. I had to enter in the radio code to get some things working again. Next morning after entering code the check engine light came on. Could the battery and code be related? Or just coinsidence? Temp. Is staying consistent with straight up at 90 as usual

I had the same problem, but everything seemed to be ok. At last, I removed the light bulb of the rear light, and with the help of a screwdriver, i pulled a bit the metallic plate that makes the contact, and It finally worked for me. Hope It might help yo you

Hello guys, I bought a few months ago a Golf Mk3 of 1998, I had a lot of problems with it because probably the old seller has fixed it to the good and better to be able to sell it. My current problem is that if I press the brakes, the rear brake lights don't turn on, only the third stop turns on. I checked the light bulbs and they didn't burn and the fuses are also on, until last month everything worked for this seems strange to me that it could be a short circuit

DSG gearbox failure, car stalled and stuck in P with multiple electric

2005 Volkswagen Golf hatchback, 230000 miles
I have a Golf 5 GTI with DSG transmission. Yesterday, when I stopped at a traffic light, the engine suddenly stalled. There was still power and the lights were working. I later noticed that the negative battery cable was slightly loose.
After that, when I tried to park, the gearbox started behaving abnormally. It was shifting freely between R, N, and D without proper engagement. Then it got completely stuck in P and cannot be moved anymore.
I have checked all the fuses and none of them are blown.
A diagnostic scan shows multiple errors including communication faults, implausible signals, and ignition interruption.
Could this be caused by the loose battery connection, or is it likely a mechatronic/DSG failure?

I drive a manual. I can honestly tell you that if my gear box was moving between neutral and gear including reverse. I would have a transmission problem. And would near a new gear box probably. Your automatic. If it was your battery. Your lights would have flickered. If your engine reves died at the lights. Id say check your fuel injectors. Look for blockages. Check mav sensor. Also air in the fuel line can cause that. Especially if it wont restart. Faulty turbo. Are you driving in limp mode without realising. ? sounds like your cars screwed buddy. Definatly a transmission issue or faulty gear box

What fuses did you take out? I took out fuse 11 or 12 and it's caused my car not to start anymore. The fuses with dots on them are fuses that won't show 12 volts on my multimeter

Doesn't start when sunhot

2004 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI 140 315000 miles
Good morning,
Basically the car is perfect, nice start, no problem at all but when I leave the car on the sun (I'm on Sicily/Italy so for now outside we have like 42/48°) the car won't start and does some noise, other than this if it start and I turn on the AC or the lights it will stop them off but not just them but also the arrows sign, clacson, lights and comfort buttons and at the very end the dashboard will turn off and give absolutely no sign, for have new life signal from her I have either to wait or leave it away from the sun

We tried changing the piece behind the keyhole, we created a new negative for the engine, we changed every fuse and relè but still nothing

One thing that I can say is that when the car won't start the battery sign doesn't appear

I had a very similar issue with my 2019 VW Golf Variant 2.0 TDCI. The car wouldn't start and displayed the error message: "Check the starting system. "

The official VW dealership replaced the battery, alternator, and the main control unit, leaving me with a repair bill of around €3,000, yet the car still wouldn't start. In the end, I had no choice but to sell it as a faulty vehicle.
It's a shame that cars which were once known for their reliability are increasingly becoming disposable products.

Starts for 2 seconds ,,brake service error ,shutsdown ,

2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagon SEL TDI 2.0 293000 miles
In the last few weeks, I replaced two wheel bearing hubs and a door lock actually hit a module, but all went well. It seems.
I wanted to try to clear any errors on the instrument cluster as well as a add blue will not stop in 500 miles era which previously I went 1000 miles over that 500 and all is well, I disconnected the battery pulled one fuse or relay at a time and reinstalled once complete. I tried to start the vehicle it fires up and runs for two seconds always the same just a couple seconds as the service break light came on and then dies. I know it’s not the engine. It’s a clean start and shut down. I’m thinking it may be electrical. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I take it to the garage.

When the battery terminal is disconnected, the car turns off.

2004 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 40000 miles
When I disconnect the battery terminal, the car turns off every day for some time, approximately hours, as the car runs on battery power only. When I disconnect one of the battery terminals, the engine is cleaned immediately. When I move the positive terminal wire of the car with the green fuse box and I start it and disconnect the battery again, the problem goes away for a short period and then returns on its own after four to five hours, or usually in the morning.
