DOOD looks like a lady
My parent's 2000 Golf IV has got a few small issues at the moment, but I couldn't really find any info on them on general IV problem pages. So I thought I'd ask here, FG has it's fair share of knowledgeable people afterall.
First, the rear window washer doesn't work. It doesn't spray any water out of the nozzle. Sounds like the pump is working though. I think I heard something about the hoses coming loose, since they're only pushed together apparently. But there are no visible leaks anywhere in the rear. Clogged nozzle perhaps?
And the door and interior illumination that's supposed to come on when you open it doesn't work properly on the driver's side. When you open the passanger's side door though, it turns on. So obviously, the lights itself are fine. My guess is that the contact that's supposed to notice when the door's open has broken.
But strangely, when you leave the headlights or something on, and then open the left door it beeps to remind you it's still on - I can't imagine that VW used multiple sensors for the door, so this seem very strange to me.
Any other ideas on what it could be?
Same situation with the rear hatch, although I don't know if the lights there turn on when the right door is open as well. Gotta check that...
Oh, and today the driver's side door lock broke - now you can't open the door at all, not even from the inside! My brother took it to a garage already, but they said they didn't have the necessary parts in store.
And that's only the recent issues... great quality product!
