Hi, It seems the sunroof is a common problem in the MK3-MKIII VWs. I'm a novice when it comes to DYI repairs, but I've got various tools and manuals and such. But here's the problem: The roof will move up and down almost fine, but when I want it to slide back and forth it will move about half an...

Anybody have a line on conversion kits to change drum brakes to discs. A couple of years a go I found info for converting my Subaru, and want to try my golf. Thanks

I had the oil changed about a month ago. I saw some driveway spotting. The oil is clean, so it was not initially obvious. Looking under the car, I see a hole in the bottom of the filter cap. I was thinking there was a drain bolt that should go in the hole in that round metal insert that is inset...

The main problem to which i cant seem to find a cure is my temperature gauge and fuel gauge are not reading properly if...

Hello, I just purchased a 1996 Jetta GLS that is throwing a P0501 (Vehicle Sensor A - Range/Performace) code. It starts cold perfectly and runs for a while without problems. After it warms up, it will stall at idle, or low rpm if not under load. After it stalls I need to wait anywhere from 40...

Hi folks, I have a 94 Golf, purchased in March of this year with relatively high kms... generally runs great, a few items to be addressed in the near future but a strong engine and great car. Anyway, it's been creeping up toward 300,000 kms, and the other day when the big rollover was about to...

I was changing the valve cover gasket on my 90 Carat digifant and when replacing the ECV into the valve cover, I noticed a few drops of water starting to drip out of the ECV (and into the engine...) So I started shaking the ecv and this Yellow vomit-like substance came out, a lot of it, the thing...

I have an '02 Passat wagon with the 1.8T engine and automatic transmission. This AM I had to do a full-throttle merge onto a freeway. I happened to glance at the tach and noticed that I was well inside the red zone, so I got off the gas immediately. Is the indicated redline merely a suggestion,...

HI I have a 1984 Rabbit GTI with about 350k miles!!! The drivers side control arm rear bushing is cracked and torn. When I drive very slow ( 0-5 mph) like rolling up a driveway from the street where there is about an inch threshold I get a loud pop. This pop never occurs while driving above...

I'm putting an 86 cabrio engine in a 85 vanagon and all is hooked up and fine except I'm getting no power to the coil (+,15) I am getting power about everywhere else. I'm more into aircooled where you can throw any power to it ,so this has me stumped. Mario

I already had this issue at the end of last winter, I think I am better solve it before the cold starts again: I spew a lot of smoke and start with very low power in my 2001 VW Golf TDI. Now at 100,000 mi, and no other issues to talk of. In fact the car gets all the boost after it's warmed up....

Hello all, My wife recently purchased a 2006 VW Jetta 2.5. Last weekend we attempted to install an aftermarket alarm system, but the audio shop told us that there is an adapter they need that is not available for this car yet. Any ideas on why this is the case? Has anyone installed an alarm system...

We're talking about a '99 Jetta, 2.0, 4-speed auto transmission. Doesn't belong to me, but I drive it about twice a year and do routine maintenance on it. About 6 months ago, I noticed what I thought was tire tread noise, the kind that develops if the tires aren't rotated regularly. I advised...

My son through a baseball in the car knocking the rearview mirror off the windshield. Now get this... The adhesive between the baseplate and the windshield did not fail; the glass did. To be accurate, 2/3 of the adhesive between the baseplate and the windshield did fail, but 1/3 did not resulting...

Many stations are now carrying ultra-low sulfur. I have heard different things about this. For one it will harm current diesel engines. I have a 2004 TDI. Is what I heard true? Do I need to run additives to prevent damage to the engine? Bob
