I find that happens on mine when the bag isnt seated properly but its not a great design tbh.

This job is a real ball ache for me especially that stupid window dowel. I'd just take out the bolts enough to get some sealant in there and send it. A hair dryer or heat gun to dry it out first and then use something like CT1 sealant which is designed to work on damp surfaces. I've just done...

There has been a recent announcement regarding timing belt intervals from vw thats worth seeking out, they have increased the times dramatically. Personally id still aim for around 5 years.

You cant just let people guess at faults and load the parts cannon, its a recipe for disaster. I would seek out a real diagnostics expert who will be able to test the crank sensor correctly. I know it may be tough to do this but they are about. Is it logging any codes now?

Some cars have a re learning procedure but i cant answer if yours does, usually occurs pretty quickly when the car is full up to temperature. If its ok now i wouldnt worry, i would research the coding aspect though as it may lead to incorrect charging.

They shouldnt need re coding if they are the original injectors, maybe do a visual check of all the pipes etc under the bonnet first or get them to do it.

Some climate systems have a calibration procedure which can be carried out via the buttons to reset motor positions etc, have a google search to see if yours does.

Address it with the neighbour, its their responsibility then to tell their visitors really. If no luck id just continue to make it awkward for them which is a bit petty but they will get the message.

Bilt hamber auto foam or their touchless are very good at lifting most of the traffic film but as said they dont get all of it off. They are designed to help remove the worst of the dirt before a contact wash so you dont rub in any grit etc and cause marring to the paint.

Stick a hose on it whilst you sit in there to see. Can get in through the lights, boot seal number plate holes etc. The rear washer hose can detach too in a few places letting water in so just test that works ok.

Pm me some details on the car, I've had one and wouldn't mind another if it wasn't too rusty.

Go for a decent tyre such as the cross climate and no messing around needed swapping wheels.

Motorised mirrors would have the switches in plain sight usually on the door or dash area on the right hand side if fitted.

yep dont even attempt it yourself unless you plan to make it worse. I didnt think the paint was laquered on these cars but maybe its had paint before.

Private seller do you mean or car trader? If its the latter id take it back and ask them to resolve it, if the former your on your own im afraid. Very difficult to guess at a fault like this but i wish you luck.

You may find a standard hex key fits in too. (Allen key)

You could try a reboot by disconnecting the battery or finding and pulling the fuse/s Not sure if modern units are coded, this would be my only concern.

I would check the wiring loom to the door at the hinge area too, a common failure point. Double check the part numbers on the switch to see if they are the same.

See the other thread running about one if its the same sort of year. Id personally walk away from them and look for something else.
