Hi My vw golf 1.8 automatic is having difficulty changing up to 4th gear on the motorway. Revs at 5000 at only 50mph. Just had a service and the engineer had no idea what the problem may be. The lubricant level has been topped up with no luck. The car is a P-reg with 68,000 miles. Any help is...

Don't know whether anyone can help me out here. I have just bought a new golf gt tdi dsg - nice car. I am a little puzzled though. The stamp at the front of the service book identifies the car as a Golf 2.0 Sport. Now I know that the Sport doesn't come with a 2ltr engine, I am supposed to have...

My 99 Passat V6 (Manual) has been running alittle rough recently. It has actually even stlled twice. Once after running hard (hiway) then coming to a red light, and once while running hard I had to pull over an stop. Both times after a few minute rest I was able to start and continue my trip...

Our 2004 Golf TDI-PD came without any engine heater, unlike the 2002 Golf TDI, which was dealer-equipped with an oil pan heater. I checked yesterday with the nearest VW dealership (Cranbrook, BC), and was told the VW factory oil pan heaters are expected soon, but no ETA or set price. He guessed...

Has anyone found a source of fully synthetic VW 505 01 engine oil in North America? The only brands I've been able to find in Canada are Motul, which is a "synthetic blend" and outrageously priced at CAD$11/Litre, and Castrol, which doesn't even show the word "synthetic" anywhere on the package,...

I just bought my second VW (first was a Golf of the same year), and upon completing the nearly two hour drive home, I shut the car off, and still heard a noise. So I poped the hood, and listened intently. It sound like a mechanical humming accompanied by a hissing and gurgling. I hypothesised that...

Hi all! I know that this argument has been yet covered several times, but I didn't found any useful information about a strange water leak in my "new" 1993 cabriolet (A1 clipper style). The top is OEM, vinyl, in very good conditions, and all the rubber seals are in good condition too (soft, no...

Hi, I'm a newby and this is probably a fairly straightforward problem but, after reading the other articles, didn't see one that specifically matched. In a nutshell, my passat won't start anymore. Symtoms: -turn key to first position -->no problem, check lights come on, radio is fine,...

I have a 81 Jetta that I am rebuilding and am regreasing the CV Joints and the last one (Left Inner) wont swivel after I put it back together (following the Bentley books instructions which worked fine for the other 3 joints) the cage will move but the inner and outer pieces are locked solidly...

I am looking for a diagram of the fuse panel on a 81 Jetta Diesel, I have 2 Bentley books (a 70 something-81 Rabbit and PU book and a 85-89 or so Rabbit, Jetta and PU book) and a haynes one (80-83 or so Rabbit and Sicorro) and they cover everything else but they dont have the correct diagram for...

The driver side low/high combo bulb stopped working. I changed the bulb, but it is still no good. I also checked the fuses and they are good. I should note that my car was lightly rear-ended when this problem started. What could it be? Thanks Aabob

The plastic shell of the driver side mirror is cracked, but the mirror and motor are fine. Where can I get a replacement shell? It seems I have to purchase the entire mirror unit, which I don't need. Any ideas? Thanks Aabob

I have a 2000 Passat. The plastic shell of the driver side mirror was hit, cracked, and fell off. The rest of the mirror is undamaged. Where can I purchase just the outer shell? I don't need to replace the entire mirror assembly. Thanks, AABob
