Hello, on the last autobahn ride I noticed for the first time how weak the windscreen washer system with this fan nozzle is. Only excessive spraying leads to a complete cleaning of the windscreen. Maybe my nozzles are wrong or do you feel the same way and if yes, there are alternative to the fox nozzles ? Ciao Matze

http://www.bb-automobiltechnik.de/…/mvw_fox_14_tdi.php Sometimes an intressant link, for all those who want to make their Fox 1.4 TDI even more powerful… Up to 110hp, that’s awesome… And at an extra cost you get even 3 years warranty on engine, transmission and drive… That’s a word… So if you want to and especially the purse, you can make your Fox a little racing emblem, for the feeling of sports car and also certainly funny, if you then with a Fox a passat, or Benz is driving away… MfG

Hello together, since the Fox is my first car, I can’t judge if my observations are normal. I mean, it’s normal that the windows are fogged when you just get in in the winter and breathe like wild. But with my Foxi it’s like that inside is at least as much moisture on the windshield as outside. I had even two days since the disc was covered on both sides with ice. I can’t say now that the car is leaking or ir But I have to say that this is quite stressful when you have to run the engine for 10-15 minutes, until a bit warmer air comes up, that you can look out. If I don’t help with a cloth, the water does not disappear inside. Do you have any tips? How are these “alumates” for the disc? Then at least it wouldn’t freeze so much from the outside?! Costs 2€ the things. Better the first minutes of air around? Then you can but you don’t activate the ventilation for the front windows. Please tell me your experiences. Because if this goes on, then I don’t know what to do at -10°C. mfg

Hello he drove the 1.2 today.He ordered me a 1.4. Was very surprised by the performance of the little one.Now the question arises, how will the 1.4 he go much better or can hardly be noticed, has after all 20 hp more mfg

For a week I could enjoy this little bag, which was quite lushly equipped. Except for a climate everything was available, with a folding roof. Due to the folding roof, the wind noises were somewhat more audible than desired and the average consumption was over 1000Km at 7.4 liters (AB & Stadt). I had never before been interested in this model and I was finally torn back and forth. The tachometer unit looks optically cheap, but is surprisingly complex. the LED display in the dark, however, thanks to the switch to red, hardly decipherable. The steering looks spongy up to 30Km/h, the seats a little too soft in the side support. Nevertheless, the “little” felt rather agile and was amazingly spacious. A little more power, more cuddly in driving behaviour and more insulation material… I could be enthusiastic about it with a consumption of around 6 liters.

servus, I have a question: and I am not satisfied with the performance, is logical at 55ps. and I would like to have my cylinder head planned. however I have to know how much to take away whether 0.1 mm or 1mm or whatever with it is not too exaggerated and it is the motor after 20km around the ears skin! besides, is the difficult to expand the cylinder head?? mfg weisi

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

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

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

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?
