Hello, I am looking at 2 garages in Fairfax area one is VXWorks in I think falls church and another Viking Automotive in Chantilly, VA. Has anyone had any experiences with either of these garages. They both say they specialize with VWs. Are there any others? I need to have some work done...

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I lost my wedding ring while sitting on the front passenger seat of Jetta 2004. It happened very quickly , but I have noticed where the ring went: into the seat belt opening on the floor. I saw the ring right on top of the opening along with a dime coin, but when I...

Here again, I have seen hints of this problem in the forums, but not a definitive answer... On our 1999 Beetle, the keyless entry is not working correctly. When we exit the car and press the lock button, the passenger door and trunk lock, but the drivers door does not. It horns first, then tried...

My wife has a 2001 2 liter Jetta, and the EPC light just came on. Two weeks ago, I took the car to my local brake shop and had front and rear pads replace, and they turned the rotors. My wife only belives that you can have work done at a dealership, and is ****ed right now, because she is sure...

I just purchased a 90 Golf GL with nearly 240.000 miles. It has been well maintained, has a brand new distributor even. The plug wires have also been replaced. The previous owner told me that it stalls when it's driven in the wet occasionally. It stalls for about 5 minutes, then all is...

Hello, Please forgive me to disturb you. I know that you are fond of playing golf. I would like to share with you the joy of playing golf and introduce myself to you. I live in Guangdong province of China. Playing golf is also my favorite. I often watch the American golf match in my spare time....

Hi all, my girlfriend has a '90 Corrado G60 to which she is ludicrously attached... for the last while (not sure how long, but this is an ongoing problem) she has had a problem with the battery going dead while the car is parked. Lately it has become worse; the battery went dead enough that the...

The temp light came on in my 2001 Beetle 1.8T after only driving for about 10 minutes. I had the air on and it stopped blowing cold when this happened. When I stopped to check it, the overflow bulb didn't appear to be boiling or venting. After my car sat for about 2 hours, the air was working fine...

Recently, I purchased a 1980 VW diesel rabbit to burn biodiesel. Although, I'm having problems with the left rear turn signal. For the first few days everything worked correctly, but now when I flip on the left turn signal and apply the brake the turn signal indicator on the dash flickers on and...

I have replaced the head gasket on my 1987 Mk2 GTi and I am in a bit of a mess. After putting it all back together it runs but its really not right. I think the timing belt is on one tooth out but I cannot fathom out the timing marks no matter how hard I try. The head was stripped by a garage...

My problem. the engine and FI system I have in my 1986 jetta was not the same as the one I swaped out for it. I have the CIS-Lambda, the last engine did not have the frequency valve, or the relay for it, or the wiring. (Come to find out after I threw the old car away). I need a reasonable solution...

The VW North America web site lists the 2.5 as the only available engine in the new Golf, again called Rabbit in the US like the A1 Golf. Does anyone know when this car will be available with the TDI? TIA

Hi everyone, I have a well-worn 92 Jetta with a 1.8L RV engine. The car starts fine and for the first ten minutes or so works flawlessly. Once everything heats up however I am getting erratic misfiring on all cylinders. It doesn't seem to matter where the throttle is or how much load is placed...

I like the 92 jetta sedan I have; would like a wagon more. Want a diesel - were they made in those years with that engine, and if so, when looking for/at one, what should I be aware of?

What's the capacity of the '87 16V Scirocco gas tank? It was originally sold in Massachusetts, if that makes a difference. I remember looking it up somewhere and finding 12 gallons. I just did it again, and found a replacement tank, which claims a capacity of over 14 gallons. I'm asking because...

I just swapped in some new low beams (superwhite 5000k.) Now, my '01 GTI VR6 seems to have forgotten it has DRL. Not that it's a big deal or anything, but i was just wondering if my suspicion is correct. I'm thinking it's just that my bulbs (cheap: $5 each) are simply not capable of producing...

Hi, I'm stumped, seeking your tips for things to check. Have searched this forum and have tried suggestions posted by others for situations with similar symptoms. But no luck. The car: '85 Golf 1.8 L gas, automatic. 236,000 km (about 146,000 miles). Has been running fine since last failure...

Thanks guys for all your answers to the topic. They were all very credible and insightful. I even enjoyed the one about bitching about the situation.(Lol) It does give us something to think about. Thanks again, PH

Anyone have a schematic online somewhere of how the power locks are wired in a 96 cabrio? I'm specifically looking for whether I can use an aftermarket system that uses either positive or ground activation. That is, detecting using two signals, either as 'going high' or being pulled to ground,...
