maintenance inspection to get my annual PA state inspection sticker
(after getting cited yesterday for it being expired). They denied

following needed immediate...

Drive Flange Oil Seals by
Will
Yeah it would be a good time to change the fluid, but unfourtunatly, I
had the clutch changed a few months ago and got them to put in new
synthetic fluid. (which has been slowly dripping out :( )
I guess I have to top it up anyway, Does it matter if I use the same
fluid? Should I bother saving...

Various VW Questions: pinking, octane levels, oil and a noisy 5th gear by
-+= graq =+-
I'm running a 1.4 Polo (2000), it is my first car and I am not exactly
an expert - any help and advice would be fantastic.
I think I know what pinking is, and I think the card pinks - like a
tiny tapping (almost purring) sound? Is this really bad? Should I
avoid it, and if so how?

Chad Leigh
Hi
Yesterday I successfully replaced the rear brake disc and pads on the
driver side rear wheel on my 97 Jetta GT. I had to go to Sears and
Checker Auto 2x each to get various tools, a halogen light as it got
dark, and other things :-) but it was successful. I used both the
Bentley and Haynes...

1.8T: Slowly oscillating temp gauge by
Bert Hyman
2002 Passat GLS wagon, 1.8T, automatic.
Starting just this morning, the car warms up to the normal indicated
190F but from then on slowly drops to about 150F, slowly climbs back to
190F, and continues to do so, apparently unaffected by any external
conditions.
Until now, it warmed up to 190F and...

replacing timing belt by
Sven Agardh
I have a Passat TDI '00. When I asked the VAG dealer how much he would
charge me for replacing the timing belt the price he gave me was, at
least to my ears, very high. The specification of the price included a
new water pump. When I asked him why, he answered that you always
replace the water pump...

Key for 99 Jetta by
Ted & Lisa Nicholson
My son just bought a 99 Jetta and it came with only one key. It is one of
those switchblade keys. What he would really like is a regular key. He
doesn't even care about the remote. The person he bought the car from said
that the 99s don't have the computer chip in them and we can just get a...

2000 Passat instrument cluster electrical short + smoke! by
Martin Mainfeld
Hi, all,
I've got a 2000 Passat 4-motion with just 31k miles. On a recent road
trip, while going about 70MPH on the highway, something in the dashboard
shorted, and I was greeted with a nice puff of smoke in the face!
Needless to say, this scared the crap out of me. I pulled over, and
noticed...

2 springs on A2 brake pressure regulator by
Mr.Eddy
Greetz All,
I recently replaced all 4 rotors on my '86 GTI. After about a week of
driving, I noticed that on both rear rotors, there was about a half inch
band of surface rust on the inner diameter of the disc, and the
machining marks had not gone away like they had in the front. This rust
is only...

Fuse for reverse lights for 1995 Golf GTi by

Hello. I am just wondering if anyone knows what the correct fuse size
is for the backup lights on a 1995 Golf GTi? The fuse that was in there
was a 15w; however, every time I try to replace it, it blows as soon as
I turn the key to the 'On' position. The fuse panel cover neglects to
mention what...

CEL on Particle Filter by
[email protected]
Here is the issue:
I have a mostly continuous CEL that VW diagnoses as an "internal crack on the particle filter". The flow is not blocked, there is no increased pollution (per VW anyway) and the car starts, idles and runs properly with no decrease in mileage. There are no signs of physical...
