The output is to control different devices, gates, detectors, video monitor, etc. We prefer not use any off...

Seek VW Jetta Arm Rest on top of the center console. I do not need the console. I need the arm rest and mounting kit. I believe all 2000 to 2004 model Jetta are the same. I am looking for black cloth matching unit. Thank you.

I have a 2000 Jetta that has had the check engine light on since I bought it. I understand this is pretty common with VWs so have just ignored it. Now for the first time it isn't passing inspection and my mechanic said I needed a new catalytic converter. I had the dealer replace this under...

Hi, I'm driving a A1 convertible with JH engine. It seems I've problems with the current Marelli distributor. I have a Bosch distributor of another JH engine. Can I interchange them without problems or do I need to interchange the ECU or something else. Thanks, Willem

Symptoms: 1. Smelly exhaust. 2. CEL on. 3. "STOP ENGINE NOW" warning every once in a while. 4. Rough idle. I looked in the hole where the oil filler cap goes. There's a dark brown gel all over everything. I think this is sludge. I've had this car since new. I have the car serviced regularly

Hi, I have a 2000 Passat GLX V6 Automatic. When accelerating fast from a full stop, I hear a "thud" from the front of the vehicle. The sound occurs once when the car starts moving. If I accelerate slowly from a full stop, then I do not hear that noise. Also, if I accelerate with my foot on...

After the turn signal disengages, the clicking noise persists at random intervals. Eventually, after 5 to 10 seconds later, it stops. The lights do not flash, only a clicking noise is heard from the hazard/flasher module. I replaced the hazard/flasher. The same problem persists. Any...

The New VW Beete has been around for a considerable time now and has not changed in style at all. Whats it going to be? time for retro design remake or make it look more modern which would be somewhat pointless.. Any Oppinions? Aaron E Nicholson

I just purchased a 2003 Jetta TDI automatic with 123,000 miles on it. The car drove fine on two test drives - both times the engine was cold, and then on a 300 mile trip home from the dealer. It sat in the garage for a week until today. Now about 80% of the time, there is a big "jerk" when the...

I have a 2000 New Beetle TDi manual, and generally it has behaved rather well. I purchased this vehicle with about 110k miles, and have added 10000 miles in just about a year. I am considering the purchase of a second TDi - this one is a 2000 Jetta GL TDi. It has 212000 miles, with a single...

Here's a puzzler. I have a 2000 Beetle TDi. Until about 2 months ago, I averaged 40 mpg in the city. Two months ago, my mileage dropped progressively to 38 mpg, then 35 mpg. A month ago the battery died. I put the new battery in, and for the first 2 tankfuls, I am back at between 40 and 41...

I bought a 2000 TDi beetle with 113,000 miles on it about 5 months ago. First time I've owned a diesel, but I've owned lots of gas turbo vehicles in the past. Two months ago, I noticed that under load there was black smoke out of the exhaust. MY immediate fear was that the turbo was on its last...

I drive a 2000 Beetle, this past week when I was driving home my car began to make a loud clicking noise and started to smoke and then died. I found it had overheated. In a panic, I looked at all the fluids keep in the back of my car and found antifreeze, a quick google told me it was the same as...
