  • Rust on the Fox ?

    Hello dear Fox friends. During the spring cleaning I noticed my 3 years old Fox first rust base, at least I believe it looks like it. If you open the trunk and then the pressure pistons for the lid are attached to the C-pillar to the left and right. Follow the C columns to the top the corners where the columns and the roof converge. These connections are like the edges on the doors etc. first covered with some putty and then overpainted. At the places I have approx. 0.5 cm long cracks in the paint exactly in the area of the kitt. So on to the friendly which meant only quite cool that is not bad because the kitt is elastic and then the paint can tear by movement in the car. At my Ford Focus I also had these cracks after six years and a few months later masive rust under the kitt, which was therefore not seen. After about two years I then had a wet sky inside in rain – diagnosis: rusted through! Now i What do you think about it? Do your foxes have cracks at the places? What about the fox and rust at all, does anyone have experiences? Hanjo

  • Circumferential air operation when reverse gear is applied

    With my Fox the blower does not switch to air when the reverse is inserted. Has anyone noticed this yet.That has nothing to do with the control lamp. One only hears how to drive the flap, but it does not. Greeting 1303er

  • Paint defects or what?

    hello! now the next problem – the other problems you can read in the thread “Help, what should I do – list of defects” – today car washed and what must I notice – on the roof about 7-8mm diameter varnish bursting – how does this – maybe a stone stroke – must say however, in front I do not have the only stone stroke – so, in the place already funny – then I have to say the paint seems to me there on the roof damn thin, as if only a paint layer is available n would be and that just as it covers – what do you mean, your paint on the roof is also so thin – it must be thicker in front of me, otherwise there would be much more paint bursting by stone strokes, but there is no one available and that now after 5500km – am tomorrow with the friendly – I think the cart must be gone – the other big problem with the stuttering has not been solved (even three attempts) yet – see G. isyrider111

  • Fuel consumption

    CYBERSCHORSCH, the biggest of all foxfans, writes that he can classify an “average consumption of 7.0 l/100Km with a rather brisk driving method as satisfactory”. I have the same engineization, 1.4 petrol, and have with creeping driving way clearly over 8 l/100km ROZ 95 consumption…and I should not be afraid of that, how is there? (starting, mature, air conditioning, ???) The roads here in France will have no greater rolling resistance than in Germania. Vie Something slows slightly, my car always pulls slightly to the right on the highway. On the other hand, the disturbances indicated in the forum vary quite neatly, are there still the famous Monday cars nowadays?

  • Radio installation VW Fox – HELP –

    Hello, I have been a lucky owner of a VW Fox in silver-metallic for a few days. However, the good part has no factory-side radio and only a preparation in it (is an EU import from France). I have now got a Sony CDX-GT200 and a car radio adapter “Autoradio ISO auf VW” (from aiv) from the local Saturn (I don’t need radio). Now I have read the corresponding posts from the forum, but without success: I have the adapter to the cabling g connected by the Fox and to the adapter again the radio. Result: the CD Mechanics worked, but not everything else. Wants to mean that he leads CDs into the shaft and spits out again. More but not more. I have often read that I have to connect a cable of the adapter to the fuse. However, I did not have a plan like that worked. Maybe it would be possible that someone would put me a SChritt for step instruction here. Would be nice, would nämli ch likes to listen to music in my beautiful new car. Another question. What are the openings next to the exterior mirror adjustment? Are the vents or are the tweeters? Thanks already in advance.

  • Alu decor / trims for Fox!?

    Hello guys, Would you like to ask you if there are decorative strips for the Fox Alu to stick on for yourself somewhere, in order to upgrade the interior a little… There is a nice “bar” on the amaturary board, which you could decorate very nicely with it… Unfortunately I don’t have a picture now, but I mean the bar, which goes on to the right and to the left next to the “sheet” (which is also decorated with silver plastic), at the level of the silver plastic strip… Hope you know what I mean… alternatively gi bt it also still verzierspray, but there you would have to know first, if and how you get this bar out… Hope that someone can help me and possibly a shop knows where you can get such a thing…!? MfG

  • Snarling brake pedal

    So, I’m proud Fox owner since May 2006 and unfortunately have the following problem since September 2006: My brake pedal knarrs sometimes when I want to brake with 80 and in the 5th gear. Not as strong as with an ABS brake, it is more a feeling that I press on air and give it gradually. It also a little bit but not very loudly, I notice this rather on the foot. Also you notice nothing else, so no big reeds in the car or something like that. I was already in the workshop (4 times the same) and had it looked at. The first time the fault memory was read off: nothing to see. The second time the vacuum hose would be renewed: also no change At the other two times only test drives were carried out, because this nice problem only happens once in a while, and the typical demonstration effect was there again. with the workshop master found out that I should apparently change my driving mode (he said that I should just slow down harder). I personally think this is stupid, because it doesn’t depend on the driving method, but simply that this problem is there at all. Also on the brake… Just wanted to get one (like many more) opinion(s) here, because I really don’t have any idea what to do anymore. As a woman I was dismissed in the workshop by because “she has no idea of cars anyway”. I just want to know possible causes for this problem… Would be great =)
