I have a 2.0litre 170bhp golf on returning home tonight I heard a sound that sounds like an electric motor running on switching the ignition key off the noise stops but on switching back on again the noise comes back on I have pinpointed the noise and it is coming from behind the nearside headlight I cant see any sign of an electric motor of any kind in this vicinity any one got any idea what it may be.TIA Jack

 

Welcome to the forum Jack.

We need more details about you motor. https://volkswagenforum.com/forum/ne...gnature-34185/

 

Sorry about that but I am not computer friendly (too old) everything I touch usually results in the computer going wrong, i have typed in details of the car into my signature but it does not come up on my first post.
The bugger has just made a liar out of me

 

Found it nearside headlight adjuster motor running permantly

 

Variant ABBMMNXO Version FM6FM62Q0177GGN1

I would say your engine code is BMM, Golf 2.0 TDI 12/2004> 103Kw (140bhp) as fitted to other models, Caddy/Caddy Maxi/EOS/Golf Plus/Jetta/Touran.


What I would suggest now is get you motor scanned to find any error codes logged in the ecu and post them.

 

Thanks for the reply Keith but the details in the log book are engine number begins BMN and power kw 125.
