Auto transmission, recently serviced but did not fix the problem i was having. The car will not go when in R or D until car reaches operating temp then it is jumpy at start and shifts roughly into second. Had serviced cause i thought it might have been trans fluid and filter but did not fix the...

Hello, Some lovely person has broken into my campervan (Type 25 1985 Watercooled) by smashing the lock on the tailgate. I have replaced the whole lock but I have found that there is a gap of about 4-5mm around the lock and the bodywork. I am guessing that there used to be some kind of round...

Recently, I've started having problems with my CD changer--periodically, when I change disks, it beeps and gives me a CD ERR message, and won't play. Has anyone else seen this? Is there anything I can do short of replacing the whole thing? Thanks ! -- Nancy M. Wallace ...

I've got a 2003 Passat with the "curvy" wipers. There appears to be a flexible carrier, two end caps, and a blade. How do I get the end caps off to replace the blade? If there's a clip, I can't find it. I've pried around a bit with a tiny screwdriver, but I don't want to do something that...

I took my 2003 Passat in for "engine light" service a few weeks ago. They apparantly replaced one of the ignition coils. Ran great until this past week. Then not only did it suddenly develop bouts of "sluggishness" (poor accelleration, rougher idle), the cruise control doesn't work. While I wait...

My wife has a 2001 2 liter Jetta, and the EPC light just came on. Two weeks ago, I took the car to my local brake shop and had front and rear pads replace, and they turned the rotors. My wife only belives that you can have work done at a dealership, and is ****ed right now, because she is sure...

My buddy has a 2001 Golf 1.8T and wants winter rims/tires. Any issues with dropping to 14s other than the speedometer? TIA!

I was just speaking with a dude at the parts counter at VW who gave up the brake line lengths: 535, 1290, 2350 and 2440 mm for front ds, ps, rear ds, ps respectively. He also told me 4.75 x 0.7 but didn't know what it meant. 4.75 mm ID and 0.7 mm wall? Anyone know size of the brake line...

Thought I was done with VW with the passing of my '89 but I'm back. I'm looking at a '95 Golf that's been sitting for over a year--battery's dead and when I try to boost the car, the car alarm kicks in. The owners don't know how to defeat it. Don't know if it's a factory setup. Suggestions...

Hi everyone, I have a well-worn 92 Jetta with a 1.8L RV engine. The car starts fine and for the first ten minutes or so works flawlessly. Once everything heats up however I am getting erratic misfiring on all cylinders. It doesn't seem to matter where the throttle is or how much load is placed...

Hi all, I have a 2001 Wolfsburg Jetta with a burned out side turn-signal light (the light on the fender immediately behind the front wheel). I need to change the bulb but can't figure out how to get at it. There are no screws on the lens and there's no way I saw to get in behind it. Anyone done...

I'm not a guru, but if your car is a plain 1.8 liter 8 valve gas engine with Digifant II ignition (not a Jetta GLI, or diesel), I have a suggestion: - Open the air filter housing and take out the air filter. - Does the air filter smell strongly like gas? Is it falling apart in your hands? - If so,...

Hello, My car is a 1990 VW Jetta with Digifant II ignition. It has three ground wires connected to a bolt on the engine side of the firewall. One of these wires stems from a wiring branch routed above the bolt; the other two ground wires are connected to the engine valve cover. I find it strange...

Is there a trick to removing a used oil filter (after it has been unscrewed), without having to put it on it's side (oil spilling out) and without having to push the power steering hoses out of the way (can't be good for the hoses) to make enough room for the filter to slide out of the bottom of...
