Questions About 1991 Volkswagen Fox Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Fox? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your Fox firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Are Volkswagen Fox engine noises bad? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Volkswagen Fox engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Volkswagen Fox engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I put water in my Volkswagen Fox radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Fox radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my Fox to suddenly stop? Your Fox car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
