Eric Edwards
My '88 Jetta GL has served me very well the last 13 years but it's
getting a bit creaky. For the first time in several years, my finances
finally allow me to do something about it.
I'm looking at a '93 Jetta as well as similar Civics and Corollas.
Frankly, though, the Jetta is the dark horse. ...

Repairing vehicles without locking up the radio antitheft system by

disconnect the battery first, how...

Broken Antenna by
Terry Taylor
I have a broken antenna on my 96 Jetta.
I have been told I have to remove the fender to replace it.
Is this true? I have already tried the "Pep Boys" fix with an aftermarket
and it just doesn't work worth a darn. (fading reception in and out).
Any help is appreciated.
