But what is your question? Most cars do this. Some make a bleeping noise too. It is perfectly fine, just an indication that the doors are locked and the alarm is armed. Ok, if I didn't know that an Octavia's hazard lights flash when it is locked, I do now. What question did you want to ask? Oh, were you asking whether that should happen? Yes, it's quite normal. Volkswagen Beetle 2010 for 19 year old girl.? 2011 or 2012 model, they are completely remaking the car and it looks a lot better than the original one thats been out for 12 years already. Buy a Golf, or a GTI. IS RIGHT FOR YOUU. 15,000 jetta. Get it new trust me. If you can do the work yourself, it would be a fun hobby. If you have to pay for the maintenance, it will cost you a bundle. My friend had one. It was a cool old car, but it wasn't something you could use for regular transportation.
It always had some little thing going wrong. It was really easy to work on though. All the parts were still around and fairly easy to get. It's just that something was always seeming to go wrong. It's the same with most vehicles that are getting to be 40-50 years old though. At some point they become a hobby and not real transportation. Oil Changes (minimum of every other month.. The tranny is usually good for about 30 years.. 800 per year as my best guess. For putting around town - they are fine. At low power levels they will probably not require much unusual maintenance. They do require valve adjustments periodically. If they are run hard say on the freeway at 70 or more or lots of hills they tend to get hot and then leak oil around the pushrod tubes and the head cover gaskets. Especially if your pistons/rings are worn. The engines are actually a very good design as long as they are not "worn out".
There are high temperature silicon rubber push rod tube seals that help stop the leaks. And good rubber gaskets for the head covers (as opposed to cork). And if you are inclined to want to dabble in mechanics they are not that hard to work on. You can drop the engine out in about 30 minutes using a floor jack or a transmision jack. You have to get he car high enough on stands to clear the fan shroud. Unhook the throttle cable, the fuel line and a few wires, 4 bolts hold it on to the transmission. Support the engine with the floor jack (or trans jack) loosen the 4 bolts (2 above, 2 below) then balancing the engine level - with draw it a couple inches (50 mm) until the trans shaft clears the clutch. The air cooling sheet metal is a pain. If you skip a piece on assembly it all has to come off again!
When putting it back in the most important thing is to have the clutch plate centered in the clutch. Use a spline tool to do this. Make sure the engine is "square" with the trans so the shaft will go in. You may have to rock it a little bit to get the splines to line up. All there is to it. 1970 bug daily that has never been restored and has the original engine that at about 81000 miles. 3000 miles and adjust the valves every 3000 as well. I thought it was a dead battery so I got a charged battery pack which is definitely working. I connected everything correctly EXCEPT the positive (red) cable which I couldn't connect to the exact spot due to a piece of metal which cannot be removed or moved being in the way! Then my neighbour came out of his house & said he thinks its the starter motor because its clicking?
He said all it needed was a tap but he didn't know where the starter motor was and neither do i! So a few questions- please if u can answer please do! 1. is it more likely to be a dead battery or the starter motor? 2. Where is the starter motor on a 1998 polo 1.4? 3. what should I do with the starter motor when I locate it? I honestly dont know how old that battery is- at least 3 years old but possibly more! If the car was OK before and you've just left it for 5 days in the freezing cold, 100% it needs a new battery. The one that's on it is so knackered it's not even taking a decent charge. They only last 4 or 5 years, how old is it? 3years to 10 years. 5-6 years and cold weather really show a weak or poor battery up.
