Said car has 80k miles and yesterday started misfiring bad upon startup (ran fine two hours earlier). Check engine light is flashing and emitting code P0302 (engine misfire on cylinder 2). Tried changing coil pack for # 2 cylinder --no help. Pulling wire from coil pack while running makes no...

I'm looking for the spark plug gap for a '99 Passat 1.8T. I'd appreciate it if somebody would post the answer! Thanks. B.Good

Well right now I have a Pioneer CD player taken from my old car, and it has the basic Pioneer IP-BUS port (i believe it's called that) for controlling compatible disc changers. Well I'm wondering if there is any type of adapter to convert the factory disc changer to utilize this CD player's...

Hi everyone - My '99 Wolfsburg is either possessed or has a bizarre electrical problem. I haven't driven it for about 24 hours. This evening, someone came home and told me that my cabin light is on. I went outside and saw that the light was set to only come on when the doors are open, but...

Strange problem here...for me at least. If i turn the wheels over a full steering wheel turn, i.e. to park or do a right angle turn, i hear and feel this 'doink' sound. I can't describe, other than saying it sounds and feels like when a door spring is flipped and released. (does that make...

How much should a new exhaust be if I need one on a 1999.5 Golf TDI? I'm hoping it's just a muffler, a pipe, or a loose fitting - but bracing my cheque-book for the worst... Drove out of my driveway tonight and 2 mins down the road the car was sounding like a Civic with coffee can exhaust...

Hello. I had heard that the 2006 Jetta 2.5 could not have a tape deck installed, even as a dealer option, because of some chip. I think an Auxilliary Input Jack has been mentioned as an idea, but does VW have one that they offer as a dealer installed (with warranty) option? Thanks David

VW doesn't seem to offer a tape deck, even a dealer option model, in the 2006 Jetta. Do they offer an installed Auxiliiary Input Jack for audio on them? Curious because my mom is shopping and wants a car she can hook her dance tapes up to.

Does oil viscosity affect fuel consumption? My feeling is that viscosity is important for starting the motor, but once at running temperature it's not that important. -- William Park >, Toronto, Canada Slackware Linux -- because it works.

Hi Folks, Daughter has a 2001 NB, and seem to have the common problem of headlights burning out. Just wondering if anyone has found a brand that may last longer. I've tried the standard Sylvania H1-55W,and even the Sylvania Silverstar High Output / High Dollar replacements and see no difference...

I've recently had my 2000 VW refusing to start for me. 2 mornings in a row ( where it was pretty cold -21 degrees celcius). I took it down to the dealer, and they checked for power drain, battery, alternator, and couldn't find anything. I've left it there for a couple of days, and apparently it...

On my 2000 vw jetta with the 2.0 l auto transmission, how do i get to selenoid valve 5? Does anyone know anything about it?

Problem. Lately can hear a metallic rattling noise coming from the rear on the drivers side when I drive over rough spots in the road. I removed that jack and tool kit from the trunk as I thought that could be what was rattling, but it didn't stop. Underneath on the creeper, I didn't see...

Wife complained that VW was almost stalling out when coming to a stop and also when moving from a stop. I happened to be in the car with her when it happened again and it can best be explained as if it were a manual when first learning to drive. It's like coming to a stop and suddenly...

Sorry about the long intro describing the problem but this new noise developed after 4 visits to the dealer due to having to order parts in to fix initial noise problem. Recently purchased a 01 Cabrio with 37000 miles, was able to get it as a VW certified used vehicle with factory warranty for 2...

Just a question about the passenger airbag to satisfy my curiosity: Where and how does the passenger airbag deploy? There are no seams on the dash. TIA

The car makes a horrible groaning noise while I am turning the steering wheel and stops with the wheel in "home" position. Its especially bad when the car is cold. I realize its probably part of the steering mechanism (perhaps the power steering pump or something). Any thoughts anyone? thanks

This car has very infrequent times when it will not engage reverse. Shifter feels slightly bound up but moves in same spot but is in first. It has gone months with no problem. Hard for dealership to find since it will not act up when they have it. It has been to dealers several times over its...
