The Old Golf by
B Briggs
We've had our '90 Golf (GL 4Dr Wolfsburg 1.8 manual) for 11 years and
100,000 miles (It has 162,000).
It runs great for its age (20!). I've taken care of it and used good
gas. It's still fun to drive and has lots of power- especially in the
middle band.
Lately it's been burning oil- about a...

Diesel Misfueling by
LM[_3_]
I saw an ad for the Fuel Sure device. It replaces your fuel cap and will not
let you put gas in a diesel. I contacted them and they cannot ship to the
USA. Does anybody know of a similar device sold here?

98 Jetta GLX - Kombi Valve Replacement by
HanKdKranK
I have a 98 Jetta GLX VR6 and it's throwing the 0413 code (not 100% sure
about that code number). My mechanic says it is probably the kombi
valve but it's expensive and a mother to replace.
Anyone have experience with this diagnosis and/or changing the valve?

The Passat is passé ... by
Bert Hyman
In the US anyway.
We get some non-descript, yet-to-be-named, "New Midsize Sedan."
And, it looks like I was among the last to know.
Since it appears to be solely for the US/Canadian market, there probably
won't be a wagon either.

96 golf radiator replacement by
Wiley Post
The radiator on my son's 96 golf with AT and AC is leaking. I've replaced
radiators on older cars with less crowded engine compartments and not AT or
AC. What is the level of difficulty in making this replacement? A VW
mechanic with a pretty good reputation calculates this to be a $416 job...

90 Jetta, power loss when warm by
IRv
I didn't notice this because my drive to work is only
about 12 minutes. After about 20 minutes or so on the
highway, it bucks or just looses power. So I was shifting
back and forth between 4th and 5th, which would refresh
the car and it would run fine for a minute or two.
Then I discovered I...

She asks her students to raise their hands if they were american too.
Not really knowing why, but wanting to be like their teacher, their

98 Jetta GL vacuum line by

Hi, 98 Jetta GL vacuum line, seems really
cheap, thin hard plastic... anyway I've
taped over a couple leaks but now I see
it leaks where it connects to the brake
booster, where there is a rubber "L"
fitting at the end. The fitting itself
is a little loose. Can that be "yanked"
out and a new one...

replacing battery... by
bob
... in a passat 2003.
Is there ary problem about doing this oneself? Vague rumours about
the cars electronics - in particular the software in the 'computer' -
have put me off.
As you will have guessed, I'm completely inept on these matters, so,
any advice welcomed....
