I just took my '98 Jetta TDI (w/ 87k miles) to Firestone for a maintenance inspection to get my annual PA state inspection sticker (after getting cited yesterday for it being expired). They denied passing my vehicle and found (surprise, surprise...) that the following needed immediate...

I am in the process of making up my mind to get a Tip-chip for my '03 Passat V6. (I'd kinda like to get out of warranty, but sometimes the slow shifting really annoys me.) Problem is, I'd rather not give up my car for the two or three days it takes to send in the ECU, have it modded, and get it...

Seeing the other post free parts reminded me that I have some crap... I mean, highly valuable parts sitting around that I'd like to get rid of. If my memory is correct, I have a white sunroof from an A2 Jetta with all parts (tracks, crank, etc.), a 16v downpipe and all door glass from an...

>From: "Lambert Moonen" > >How can I remove the "restrictor" on my 1988 Fox?? > > lol I consider the VW Fox the NEWER Fox and the Audi Fox (VW Dasher/Passat) the older Fox) I guess the 1988 VW Fox is older than the 1993 Fox though! ;-)

i parted out an '89 gli a while ago and i still have a number of things laying around taking up space. the car was rolled, so you can rule out body panels. the engine and trans were removed as were the rear brakes. the the seats were swapped prior to getting the car also. i do still have the door...

I am about to replace a coolant pump on VW Passat 91 (the early 91 model with air conditioning and clutch based pulley) Since I'll be taking the belts off I am also thinking to replace some of them since the whole thing will be apart. What other belts/may be pulleys one would recommend to replace...

It seems the weatherstripping in my Cabrio's driver's window may need to be replaced. When I close the door, the rubber seal of the top of the window bends inward from the window instead of folding and then falling over the window after the door is closed like I think it is supposed to do. I can...

I have been contacted by `Dealer Services' offering extended warranty - bumper-to-bumper - for my Passat which is now out of warranty... they advertise on the website mbpnetwork.com... and I have no knowledge of them or their service... has anyone any experience with them? thanks, J

I recently (2 weeks, 500 miles) purchased a 96 passat GLX, today in stop and go traffic I suddenly could not find 1st or second gear! No lead up at all, no grinding, no popping out of gear just went for first and found third, looked for second...only fourth! Any quick help is appreciated as I...

Hello, I have a Volkswagen Jetta (about 3 years old, 36k miles) and the engine collant warning light comes on every morning (it's standing on a flat driveway) - when I drive a couple minutes and restart the car the light is off. The coolant level is over the minimum level (I got it refilled) but...

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...

I have a 2003 VW Jetta and when the temperature drops below a certain point my car will not start or when it does start it will not shift out of park! After the temperature outside rises, the car will shift fine. It is very weird and VW dealer in town cannot figure out the problem! HELP ME -Yes I...

THE OWNER OF MAX'S GERMAN CAR HAS BEEN STALKING MY BEST FRIEND SINCE EARLIER THIS YEAR. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND ANY YOUNG WOMEN TO VISIT HIS SHOP-- ESPECIALLY ALONE!!!! MAX HAS NOT BACKED OFF REGARDLESS OF MULTIPLE RESTRAINING ORDERS AND COURT APPEARANCES. I AM DISGUSTED OVER SEEING HER CRY, BEING...

Hi, I have a 1998 vw jetta gl 2.0 auto w/49,000 miles. Am I correct that this is a non-interference engine? Also, when is a good time to get the timing belt replaced? I looked at the 1998 maintenance schedule and it said to just check the condition every 40k, and it's fine but when is the proper...

Passal CL 1.9 TD, 1996. The speedo,rev counter fuel, temp gauge, LCD clock and LCD mileometer (console area) are all gone down. I can hear faint clicking from behind the speedo and every now and then the LCD items briefly light up, only to die again. 1) Is it a big job getting into the console area...

I disassembled my intake system today to check for air leaks, as my car has been idling a bit rough. I was surprised to find a good deal of oil coating the inside of the intake plumbing up to at least the throttle body, with oil on the air flow sensor plate and saturating one side of the air filter...

My 94 Jetta with 160,000 is stuck in gear. The car cannot be moved and someone has to sit in the driver's seat to disengage the clutch. The dealer says the external linkages need replacing but wants to replace the whole transmission and clutch for $2750 with a rebuilt transmission and ...
