Hello, Please forgive me to disturb you. I know that you are fond of playing golf. I would like to share with you the joy of playing golf and introduce myself to you. I live in Guangdong province of China. Playing golf is also my favorite. I often watch the American golf match in my spare time....

I have a 97 VW Jetta GL 2.0 I had a crack in the flange on the end of the head (drivers side of the motor if your standing in front of the car).I replaced the flange but I removed the two sensors from the old flange and put them in the new flange, should I have replaced the sensors ? Now the...

Anybody have experience in how much a VW dealer will take over invoice price? Will it likely be a hard bargain on a new model like this? I've purchased a jeep & an Isuzu for $500-600 over invoice in the past, wondering what sort of battle I am in for from the salesman. What's the realistic sale...

I just went from owning an 84 GLI (which I broke) to this 88 GLI with 226,000 miles. I am impressed so far. My main complaint is that the brake/clutch pedal assembly shifts around when I step on either pedal. It seems like a flimsy setup compared to the A1 design. I looked at it today with the...

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had had a similar problem or can help. I am finding that my 97 Golf is stalling (in any gear/speed) after it has been turned off for a short peroid of time following an extended driving time (at least half an hour). it will run for several hundred meters and...

I just finished installing a brand new VW heater core on my '92 Golf. I filled the system with new G11, fired it up, and was delighted to have no more leaks and smell of coolant in the passenger compartment. But... a few minutes later I was less delighted to find I had no heat! A quick inspection...

Already replaced pressure cap and looked for drips. Any ideas? TIA, Tom

Gi'day Group Anyone know where I might find a pic of a 79 Scirocco Super sport? I used to have one and don't have a decent pic of it. Thanks in advance Regards Frank

Hi, I have a Jetta 2002 and the exterior door handle does not work on my left rear door. It looks like the tab with the cable that gets pulled to open the door got disengaged from the handle. My questions is: Which screw do I need to remove to remove the handle? The one behind the plastic cap is a...

Check engine light came on the other day, code P0442 -- slight evaporative control system leak. 2001 Jetta GLS with 2.0L engine. My question for you experts is -- is there a particular part or condition that typically causes this? In other words, is this one of those well-known things, like...

I have a 94 jetta, and the Power sunroof is not closing all the way. As far as I can tell the leftside of the window is prematurly going into tilt mode, before it slides forward all the way. This is causing it to ride up and jam on the roof. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix the problem. ...

Hello. This happened suddenly, stopped briefly, then started again: Engine starts but idles (barely) extremely rough. Give it a little throttle and it runs terribly rough, with backfires, until rpms are coaxed above 2800 or so, then it runs smooth. Ambient temp is 100F and humid, but engine is...

Hi the Anyone have any advice on replacing the poly-ribbed belt tensioner on an A3 diesel (or anything else that has the self-tensioning alternator/AC belt)? Bently seems to be silent on the matter. Mine's making a rattling noise at idle. I replaced the idler/roller/pulley/whatever you...

Oil seems okay, thanks.

Yay success at last. Problem turned out to be a split vacuum hose going to the wastegate pulloff chamber. Runs good now with plenty of pep, & no more fault codes or check engine light. I was fearing I'd loose my left knut to the VW Dealership in labor charges.

What is going on at VW? Why would they introduce their new platform as a Golf only to change it's name months later to Rabbit? Don't get me wrong I owned and loved a '79 Rabbit. But it seems that it is time for VW to shop for a new marketing firm.

I've recently had problem with stalling and corrected it by removing and cleaning the throttle body. It runs fine now but will stall out when I come to a stop if the air conditioner is running. No OBD-II error is ever generated. Should I replace the throttle body, or might it be the coolant...

I have a 2002 VW Golf E 1.4 petrol. About 2 months ago I noticed the tick over was quite rough -you could sit in the car at lights and feel it shaking. Occasionally the Exhaust emission warning lamp came on. Before getting booked in to a garage the warning lamp stayed on all the time and...

Looking at a Passat with 125k miles and a v6 motor. If they are maintained well, how many miles might one expect to get? I think it's time to retire my 86 GTI... -- John Nelson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chicago Area...

About an ounce of Dr. Pepper got spilled on my 2000 Beetle's automatic shifter. After a few hours, I started having problems putting my car into reverse or drive. Apparently the shift solenoid was sticking from the soda. I took it to VW service and they cleaned it out which cost about $130....
