I have a 95 Jetta. It accumulates rain water behind the driver's seat. I'm guessing that this may be due to a plugged up drain for the sunroof. What's the best way to clean it out? Thanks, Dave

I need to do some exaust work and want to know is it ok to back my car up onto ramps so i can get more clearance to work on the exaust? Or is it a bad/impossible idea?

Hi, my VW passat 2001 engine ATW / 123000miles / Auto-Tranny has the following problem: check engine light came on, scan tool (ross-tech) shows P0411 secondary air pump incorrect flow. I changed the vacuum hoses with the result of having this error code been gone for 1 month (approx.). now the...

I've been having some major problems over the last few months w/ my 99.5 2.0 Golf - all related to losing throttle, kicking/bucking, and stalling. In short - a few months ago I was driving and suddenly lost all throttle and the car kicked its way to halt (did not stall). After a restart it was...

When will VW dealers in California start selling VW 2005 Jetta GL and GLS? Is that model has much changes and any price increases? When will VW dealers sell the MKV Jetta model? How are the MKV models named differently with 2005 Jetta GL & GLS?

Hi, Well it was an icy morning and me and the wife we're yanking on the doors of the Carat. It seems I've partially yanked the unit away from the door. It's the end with the lock. From my memory of playing with these things, there's only 2 screws. Maybie if I take the inner door apart. My bently...

Where should you keep the registration form in an '04 Golf? In my previous cars, I used to keep the registration behind a clip-on mirror on the sun visor. But there doesn't seem to be room to do this on my Golf, because the built-in mirror with the sliding cover takes up so much room in the...

Or more formally, "Voluntary Emissions Service Action 28F3/P1." No specifics about what models or engines are covered, just "some Volkswagen vehicles."

The head on my 1989 cabriolet was replaced approx. one year ago. Recent increase in oil leaking around sensor threads on rear of engine block. I question that this (disruption of threads) was done at that time. Threads are stripped in block. Can I drill, tap, and use fix a thread or helicoil...

The Tuesday, 16 November 2005, Washington Post carried a WSJ article about the withdrawal of the VW Phaeton from the US market. But what really caught my attention was the statement that VW has lost $960 million so far this year in the North American market. That seems incredible to me, but it...

Here is an odd case -- the battery on my '03 Golf was drained by the stereo. The dealer told me it was because fluid had leaked into the stereo from the cupholder above it. Now VW won't honor the warranty claiming an "outside cause." Of course, the dealer is quoting me a ridiculous price for the...

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...

Hi, An '85 Golf 8v, auto transmission. 262,000 kilometres. When accelerating or pulling up a hill, I can feel and hear a slight whomp whomp whomp in the front, most likely from the area of the left front tire. I can feel the thumping through the steering wheel. The whomp whomp is at the same...

Sitting on the shelf I've got a complete Autotech supercharger setup for the A1 8v... cogged belt, boost gauge, fuel pressure regulator, install guide, etc... I'm wondering if anyone has seen one of these for sale recently.. honestly, I'm wondering what it's worth. I bought it years ago from...

I have a 99 Passat V6 w/ auto transmission. Is there a way to program the transmission so that it is always in "sport" mode? supposedly the transmission will go into "sport" mode when you depress the accelerator all the way. I just don't want it to go back to "normal" mode. Thanks,
