I've recently acquired an early 99 Jetta (TDI, 1Z engine) and am now de-bugging it. The security alarm is erratic (horn beeps sometimes a minute after pressing the lock button on the remote device, and the alarm fires at odd intervales when parked); it seems my best bet is to remove...

I haven't driven my 2004 Passat (4 -cylinder 1.8 turbo engine) for about a week, and today when I started it, the Check Engine (Malfunction Indicato) came on and after a few seconds the engine started shaking. The light flashes for about a minute or so, and then stays on. The car can still be...

While searching the web for info about Rotella T Synthetic, I stumbled onto a Shell web page that said: "Ask the Shell guy a question" or something like that. So I asked him about whether Rotella T Synthetic was compatible with the VW 502.00 spec. Here's what he...

Sitting on the shelf I've got a complete Autotech supercharger setup for the A1 8v... cogged belt, boost gauge, fuel pressure regulator, install guide, etc... I'm wondering if anyone has seen one of these for sale recently.. honestly, I'm wondering what it's worth. I bought it years ago from...

Dear RAMVA Regs and newbs, I am announcing here that while I have not actively participated in this newsgroup in the last few years (been busy and couldn't find a decent newsreader and server until recently) that I thoroly enjoy *reading* all the posts, rants arguments and stories ... however I...

I purchased a 94 VW Golf Diesel a few months ago and it has been running great, except for the fact that it has been running hot. When I first got the car the temp gauge did not work so I replaced all of the temp sensors in the RAD and water jackets, three in all. This got the RAD fan and temp...

I am having a problem with my 98' Jetta GLX VR6 electronics. I just purchased the car 2 days ago and yesterday my fuel quantity gauge and my coolant temp. gauge stopped working on me. My left instrument panel back light doesn't work either, I am not sure if the two problems are related or not? ...

There is a group focusing specifically on MK2 16Vs. If you own one of these cars, please join and participate: http://groups.google.com/group/mk2-16v Larry

Sorry for asking again, but I really would like to get the group's input on this. When I removed my axle flanges, the large springs and thrust washers that are supposed to be behind the flanges (according to Bentley) were not there. I've been driving around like this for at least 100,000 miles....

I installed a rebuilt cylinder head, cylinder head gasket, timing belt, and tensioner on my 78 VW Diesel Rabbit. The car now idles, but does not have power, and stalls when accelerating. I double-checked the torque on the cylinder head bolts and belt timing - cam lines up using the special VW...

See U-shaped tool here in first image http://www.gtishrine.com/wheelbearing.php One store I have a...

The Volkswagen logo exposes the swastika as intertwined "S" shapes symbolizing "Socialism" for the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party, and provides more proof in support of discoveries by the noted historian and symbologist Dr. Rex Curry....

Anyone got these talking using bluetooth? My son can get an old nokia to work but his tiguan will not recognise his iphone. Any suggestions? Lawrence

I have a 2000 1.8 Turbo VW Beetle. About once a month, the engine will have a hard time turning on. It'll start, and then turn right off unless I give it enough gas then it stays on. After driving for about 5 minutes, the red temperature light blinks. When this happened about two months ago, it...

Hello, I just purchased a 1996 Jetta GLS that is throwing a P0501 (Vehicle Sensor A - Range/Performace) code. It starts cold perfectly and runs for a while without problems. After it warms up, it will stall at idle, or low rpm if not under load. After it stalls I need to wait anywhere from 40...

It ran fine yesterday and prior. Today I go into the garage and all I see is some indicator lights on on the dash. Absolutely no other power, not even door lights or radio. The dash looks like this: On the left-hand side: The steering wheel icon is on solid red. On the right-hand side: ABS light...
