If you are changing the oil filter its easier to do this from the top instead of from the bottom like I had been doing it all along. Its still kind of a pain to work around all the hoses but its not so bad from the top. My car is a 2003 Golf with a 2.0 liter engine.

So, when I check a 2002-2003 Jetta GL from 3rd party seller, I should check: 1. window-clip problem - please tell me where to find more detail on what to look at? 2. outside door handles 3. MAF/coils/window regulators - please tell me where to find more detail on what to look at for this...

Was driving along Highway 400 in Ontario and in the opposite flow of traffic I saw a Golf with grey mouldings (dark grey on a silver car) on the bumpers and door panels, the mouldings were larger then the (body coloured anyways) A4 style ones... and the headlights looked a little different......

Has anyone installed a seat heater in a '96 golf? I was just wondering if any vw model had them at that time and how hard it would be to put in an aftermarket system or 'tap' into some oem wiring. TIA andy

I bought a cheap (200 quid) 1991 Golf 4+E a couple of weeks ago, so wasn't that surprised when it stopped working. The previous owner told us it was due for a service but I ended up driving it more than I should have before looking at it, and I think I killed it. I've only ever tinkered with...

The issue has been going on for a while (smelly air, moisture blowing into the cabin, etc...) for a few days. This morning, the AC started to make a clicking sound that went away when I turned it off. I turned it back on and heard a belt squeal for a few seconds, then the car stalled. Now, the car...
