No, I ain't talkin bout the wife :) Seriously, 2005 Passat TDI GL auto 41000 miles, like brand new inside and out. Warranty is about done and I don't want, nor can I afford any major repair bills. I haven't had even a hiccup so far. VW is offering 4 or 5 grand off a new passat gaser, plus our value...

Hi, I have a few PDF Files for some of the VW range.. My question is, What are the legalities, concerning me uploading them on a website, for people to download? I personally dont have a problem with sharing them, and i dont fancy emailing 101 people the files. Thanks

Hello all. Ok, going to sound like the stupid questions of the week, but figured someone out there might have had something similar or some good advice. Have a 2.5 month old 2006 Jetta 2.0T with about 3200 miles. Noticed over the last week it felt a bit sluggish, but figured I got a wonky tank...

Family memeber's car. Complained of it loosing power and quiting. Sometimes would stop but could wait a few and restart it. Weather did not seem to be a factor. Before it was taken to a mechanic, the timeing belt failed. 2.0 liter failed timing belt. I had head rebuilt, 2 valves. New Belt...

Does anybody here know what the exact terms are for the coverage of the timing belt under Volkswagen's 10 year,100k powertrain warranty? For instance, is it covered only if it breaks or if you would bring it in for inspection and it is found to be prematurely worn or about to break would it be...

I just bought a 1989 16V Jetta which ran fine when it was dropped off. I left the car for a week and when I went to restart it, it wouldn't start. Turned over fine and had spark. I checked the grounds, fuel pump was running, checked for vac. leaks etc. When I tapped on the fuel pump relay it did...

used to own a 80 diesel rabbit, was thinking another one gas or diesel would make a good commuter car. Are these things still around? are they still cheap?

I have an 84 GTI, ~230k miles. Car starts great, idles around 900 rpm for about 30 sec, then idle drops off to about 600-700, so it almost stalls (and occasionally does). Over the next 15 minutes, the idle will slowly creep back up to 800-850, where it remains. She has new plugs, wires, rotor,...

Toyota is losing its halo Guido Reinking Automotive News Europe October 20, 2008 14:59 CET When senior Volkswagen executives said the Wolfsburg-based automaker intended to overtake Toyota in global sales, profit and quality, more than a few industry watchers thought they had lost touch with...

Hey guys, im 17 years old and im studying to become an Auto technician, and i just recently bought a 1996 Volkswagen Passat GLX 5spd, and i have rebuilt the front end on it already due to a accident last summer, and bough the car for 400 dollars. I have replaced the Oil Pan gasket already, because...

According to Bloomberg.com news service on Sept. 12, 2005: "Volkswagen AG's U.S. sales of its namesake brand rose 72 percent in the first 10 days of September as record gasoline prices prompted buyers to trade in sport-utility vehicles for small cars and demand more diesel models, the brand's top...

I am likely the last one to learn this, but it appears the Jetta and NB will have a standard 150 HP 5 cylinder engine next year and drop out the turbo four. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit

My car was just broken into in a hotel lot. They destroyed the driver's side key-lock. I can actually unlock my car with my finger now! Is that OK? The effort the thieves used seems to be very limited, and the alarm did not go off either. I cannot go anywhere with the car like this now. Anyone with...

I have Passat GLX, that was bought in March 2001. The car now has 34K miles on it. The dealer said that I should replace the timing belt every four years. I checked the manual and it is not very clear to me; it only suggests the replacement for TDI engines, no mention of the gasoline V6...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at buying a 2003 Jetta Wolfsburg that's in a different state - it's listed as having a moonroof. I currently own a 2000 Jetta with a sunroof. Anyone know what the difference is? Thanks.

Please help aleviate my confusion and/or ignorance. Is Rabbit = Mk I Golf ? Are Rabbit years 1975 thru 83? Do all Rabbits have sunroofs ? (I hate sunroofs) Do all Rabbits have mechanical fuel injection ? Do any Rabbits have brains ? (If no EFI then no brain ?) Are all gas Rabbits either 1100cc...

Anyone use Redline Oil in there Jettas? if so was it better then other synthic oils? 10W30 ? Also if so did you use it in your Manuel Transmission and what grade? -Lee

Anyone want to see a few pictures of a Passat 1.8t which hasn't had a oil change in almost 20,000 miles? Will post on server soon.

After my 2000 TDI Jetta died and would not restart the other day, my faithful mechanics at Howard Cooper informed me that my timing is all out of whack and that the timing belt and tensioner need to be replaced. Realistically, it's beyond time for them to be replaced just in the standard...
