anti Touareg sentiment by aokvw
What a firestorm of criticism my innocent request for T-Reg owner input created!! Haven't any other longterm, satisfied, VW owners purchased one of these vehicles?? I feel like I am out here all alone- and enjoying the hell out of it! Mike (ducking already)

warranty/VW Customer Care by Craig Faison
Hi all, Our '02 Jetta Wagon has had a clutch failure - specifically, the clutch won't disengage completely. My first guess was clutch master/slave cylinder, but my dealer says they check out fine and that there are no leaks. They say that it's a mechanical failure in the clutch mechanism (throwout...

Starter solenoid current? by Bernd Felsche[_2_]
Something I don't know ... and can't seem to find out all that easily. I'm trying to figure out the current draw by the starter solenoid, (not the starter motor) at terminal 50. It's powered through the ignition switch in the Golf GTI but the 4mm wiring has me baffled. That's too much current to...

I read several preliminary magazine reviews that seemed top complain endlessly about how "slow" the 2.5 model is,...

VW City Golf or Toyota Matrix? by WT
I have been driving a 1986 VW GTI for the past 10 years, and since she's starting to show her 20 years of age, I may soon be looking for a replacement. My VW driving and owning experiences have been good, although certainly not flawless. Here in Canada, VW are offering the 2007 City Golf for...

Damaged SOMETHING with backfiring ... by Fred Mann
Well, I finally got my 83 GTI up and running (it needed a new hall sender). But it seems that the numerous backfires have taken their toll. I actually noticed this new problem just after one of the last backfires so I'm pretty certain it was the cause. The car now makes a pretty loud clanging noise...

Why VW's get bad gas mileage? by Jon R. Patrick
First, I'm a fan of VW, so I'm not just here attacking them. I had an 87 Fox I used my last 2 years of college, and it's one of those cars I'm sorry I ever got rid of. I MAY be in the market to replace my current ride (a focus), and the new Rabbit has caught my eye... reminding me of the days...

First day in 8 years with no VW. by rat
Sort of down. Had to buy a new car but could not even get close to swinging enough $$$ for a new Golf. Had an A3 Gold for 8 years, nearly 150k miles. But it was old and after putting 2 grand in repairs, another 1.5 grand showed up. I was tired of putting money into a car with no end in sight. ...

Serious Bentley Manual Problems by Kent
