My Rabbit, Caliber, Versa review by
Jon R. Patrick
I had some free time away from the wife and kids yesterday, and I
decided to take the time to drive 5 cars.
Unfortunately, my local dealers didn't have a Fit or a Mazda3 on the
lot, so I ended up just comparing 3.
Now, these are a bit "mixed and matched", but they are all relatively in
the same...

Transmission pan bolt torque 01 Jetta Automatic by
[email protected]
Hi,
I know I've stripped one hole on the tranny housing that holds the 4
bolts for the transmision pan. Looks like I can drill through to the
other side, use a longer bolt and nut.
Does anyone know the torque required to tighten these 4 bolts? I have
a Bentley and a Haynes and neither says. I'd...

power steering goes out in wet conditions by
[email protected]
1994 VW Jetta
Power steering goes out in wet conditions. I feel the steering wheel
get tough to turn (I can still manuver the car). The belt is not
slipping, fluid level is good. Is this just a matter of changing the
pump, or do I have a more serious problem?

TDI in California? by
Joseph Oberlander
I vaguely remember that there were a few months or maybe a year or
two where they were allowing them to be sold in California, but
the local dealership is either brain-dead or playing dumb.
I'd like to get a Jetta TDI if I could, but I need to know what
years to search for. I just paid $2.59 a...

VW Golf IV broken into by
Rochester
My car was just broken into in a hotel lot. They destroyed the driver's side
key-lock. I can actually unlock my car with my finger now! Is that OK? The
effort the thieves used seems to be very limited, and the alarm did not go
off either. I cannot go anywhere with the car like this now.
Anyone with...

Golf ESP warning light - any known issues? by
[email protected]
Strange, but the brake light on our '03 Passat has been sticking also,
we only notice it after we have parked it for the evening. And the ESP
light has been coming on while driving, usually after we've been
driving for a 1/2 hour and doesn't go out until we turn off the
ignition.
It goes to the...

I just had my service today. $842.61. Yes, that's right, over 800 dollars.
I've never felt more raped in my life. I'm so upset, and to add insult to
injury, I'm not sure they used the correct engine oil. I'm setting here
(just got back from the dealer) pondering what my plan of action should...

A2 Steering Wheel by
Tony Bad
I was trying to swap wheels from my parked 86 Jetta into my 91 Jetta, but found
there is a different hub size (91 is larger).
Anyone know which year A2's (or even other years) will work easily without any
adapter?
The plastic on my 91's wheel seems to have gotten rigid, and on cold days, the

A few weeks ago I noticed a muted "tic-toc" sound coming from behind the
dash, repeating at an interval of about 5 seconds or so.
I noticed it first on driving down the alley and navigating the local
