My daughter's 99 Jetta (2.0 w/auto) had an electrical problem. She tried to start it - nothing happened except when she stepped on the brake the dash lights flashed on. It was towed to the VW dealer, and they said the battery was going dead yet the alternator was working fine. They said when a...

The Tuesday, 16 November 2005, Washington Post carried a WSJ article about the withdrawal of the VW Phaeton from the US market. But what really caught my attention was the statement that VW has lost $960 million so far this year in the North American market. That seems incredible to me, but it...

Just thought I would let people know that if they are looking for a great Formula One calendar they should go to: www.conceptsi.com The calendar has a spectacular 17.7" x 21.5" format and the quality and contents of the photos is excellent. The photo of Alsonso and Michael is super, as is the...

I have a 2001 Jetta that has been a nightmare since I bought it used 6 months ago. I have had to replace the entire engine for $8000.00. Now I want to know why the idiot light for the radiator light goes on even though the radiator is full?

My Jetta has 55000 miles on it. Back in june my warning light came on coolant low. I topped it off with coolant from WalMart 50/50 rated for any car. Since then I might go 800 miles and it will go off. The next time I might go 500. Recently it has gone off at 250. I have added almost a gallon over...

Just thought I'd write a note to let everyone know what just happened to my 03 Jetta TDI wagon... I got it new in '03 and before 20K my coolant light went on. Brought it to the dealer and they said to just add some. I told them I was worried because if there was a leak, it wasn't coming out the...

Greetings, I have a '93 Passat Wagon that has the unfortunate feature of an automatic transmission. The automatic is now behaving like a manual in the sense that it won't shift by itself anymore, so rather than drop the $3k Cdn that I've been quoted to replace the tranny, how much would it be and...

Replaced my heater core this week on my 95 GTI VR6 after 140K miles. While the dash was out did a little "cleaning" of the rats nest under my dash. Reconnected everything and tested all the electrical - except for the radio which was stupid - put the crossbeam member back on and started to put...
