Seit ca. 3 Jahren tritt besonders stark bei eingeschlagenem Lenkrad (Kurven etc.) ein hörbares und spürbares Bollern auf, das geschwindigkeitsabhängig ist. Es wird also bei steigender Geschwindigkeit schneller und lauter. Im Geradeauslauf ist es verschwindend gering bzw. gar nicht zu...

I recently purchaced a 1987 Volkswagen Quantum... the car was in good condition except had some mechanical problems... What I am running into right now is the car will not rev past 3000 rpm and has no power... it is also blowing black smoke out the back... when i got the car i repaced the Pugs...

Strange noises from my Passat 1.8T yesterday. Whilst idling (at proper running temp) there was a pop/bubbling sound coming from the exhaust around about the area of the flexy-pipe. Any ideas what this would be? cheers Ken

Does anybody know the procedure for installing a new rear vent glass and gasket on a 88 VW Fox four door?

My wife's Cabrio has a coolant leak. It has been spotting in the driveway for a while- but her low coolant light came on & I topped it off this morning. I only got to look at it for a second or two before she went to work- checked the hoses for bulges and didn't see anything. But there is some...

What are your favorite sources on-line for shocks and struts for VWs? They're $90 per corner at my local dealer for the OEM parts, time to do some shopping around. Thanks.

I recently purchased a 1984 Cabriolet. Originally sold in the american market and brought to Canada within the last four years (so I am told). I am planning a 3 year restoration on this. I have never restored a vehicle before, I consider my self moderately mechanically inclined but with minimal...

Holy smokes but does this beast have some power. Test drove one yesterday while SUV shopping. The '06 V6 just doesn't have enough power, it hunts through the gears way too much. Both during city and highway driving. No surprise as it's just not enough motor for the weight. The V8's...

Maybe my first VW. Looking at a 92 Jetta GL. 225k. Manual. Gas. Busted door handle. Leaky sunroof. Haven't driven yet. Any basic or recurring engine/tranny/critical probs to look listen for as I give this car the once over?? Not routine maintence type stuff, mind you. Dangerous or otherwise...

I have an issue with my Jetta that I hope someone can help me to diagnose the problem. The car sporadically stalls, it feels like there is no gas passing through the system, the tachometer goes crazy but the RPMs do not change. I depress and press the accelerator and the car continues to run. ...

I have a 2004 Passat with 50,000K miles. Since I've had the car I've had to replace: - the battery, - both fog lights (strangely they both went out at the same time) - the A/C serviced twice (once the Freon needed to be replaced) - one of the key fob no longer works - and now I...

Just bought a Jetta 1.9 TDi, and everything is going well with it, except that... There seems to be a gap between where the low beams light up the road and here the high beams take over. It's not a lot but I;'ve never seen this on any car before, this being the 3rd VW that I've had in the last 5...

I just bought a VW golf 1998 and during inspection, the inspector told me that the engine light or malfunction indicator light doesn't come on on ignition. I never bothered to verify what lights came on during ignition, but was more interested in lights that stayed on. After looking at the VW...

Hello, A co-worker of mine owns a 1996 VW Jetta GL w/ 5 spd tranny. Lately she’s been hearing a whine from the shifter area when coming to a stop or accelerating from one. The noise has been growing for about two months. It’s definitely dependant on the vehicle’s speed and not the engine’s. I...

i know that this has been a subject for a long time but i still do not understand it...i have a 2002 jetta vr6 and the exaust it self is nice and deep..but i heard that you can remove your resonator to get more sound off of it...is it true? are there any draw backs to doing this? any positives? how...

Hello everybody. First of all, sorry for my english, but I hope that you will understand my problem. I have Golf III with AAM engine (1.8L, 55kW, monopoint). Problem is that very often when engine past 2ooo RPM, and I let out thrust pedal, my engine start by it self to giving more rpm for half...

A friend of mine is having problems with her 1998 Jetta GL (Automatic transmission). Over the past few weeks it has gotten progressively more difficult to start this car in the morning. The starter will crank at normal speed, so no lack of battery power, but it takes a lot of cranking and several...

I had always been vaguely aware of products intended to get rid of air conditioner odor, and I had read about some kits that allow you to install a fitting on the side of the evaporator housing so you can inject a foam-disinfectant directly. I asked at a local parts store about such a kit, and...

Hi all, A few more questions surrounding my VW Golf, that I've been meaning to bring here for a month or so but haven't yet... until now! :) I don't know too much about the history of the car, have only owned it since March, and it currently sits at around 300,050 kms (or, according to the...
