How many quarts of oil does the Jetta take? My 2002 Jetta TDI took 4 quarts, my local VW dealer charged me for 5 quarts on my 2004 Jetta TDI. Was there a change made in the oil capacity ? Best, Rob

Hi. I'm looking for a wheel cover for this baby. If any1 has 'em hit me up and we'll work something out. TIA, Jose

This is the original Owner's Packet from my '86 Cabriolet that was totaled last month. The packet includes: - the "envelope" that holds the owner's manual; - the owners manual; - the warranty manual; - the maintenance booklet; and, - the operating instructions from the original radio.

This black vinyl Boot Cover is one I used on my '86 Cabriolet that was totaled last month. It should fit both the Rabbit and the VW Cabriolets but not the Cabrios. I originally bought it on eBay last spring. It's in fairly good shape .... no tears, slight paint stains (hardly noticeable). The...

I've had my car for 2 years and never bothered to use the ESP on/off button. What is it's main use.

.....My '97 Passat heater core ruptured today.I've never seen anything like this before and I drove rusty rat Chevy's back in the '70's. Even though this is now an 8 year old car,is this something that I should bitch to VW about????? I'd appreciate any feedback.Thanks!

My Passat GLX has a speed cut-off around 130mph. I asked the dealer in Turkey, if I can remove that cut-off and I was told that they can only decrease the speed limit, and that I have to get a new ECU for removing it. This 2.8litre engine is using more gas than anyone else on the road, and I can...

i need a windscreen for a 1991 passat....can anyone help

Not trying to get anything for free just curious.....on my 89 Jetta I know there was a recall on the heater core. Mine is leaking. Does VW cover a recall in this case? Highly doubt it but worth an ask. Thanks Paul

When I accellerate while turning left, there is a heavy rumbling sound and the floor rumbles a bit. They changed the tranny fliud (its a 5 spd) and didnt change anything, Would anyone have a clue or has had a problem similar to this? and Aparently, VW's come with a 5year/100,000km powertrain...

Hi all, I got some problems with my car, and need some advice. 1. Last night the trunk opened with a loud click, then I closed it to reopen. And now it does not open. The trunk button on the remote works, I hear it trying to open. I use the key but it just won't open. It is 35F outside, would the...

Hello Everyone. Is there anyone here that knows what the different wires do for the VW 6-CD changer? Car is a 1999.5 with the stock wiring harness... I'm trying to make an adaptor so I can use my VW changer in my parents 1993 Volvo 960 - I have to drive it almost 1000kms this weekend, and the car...

Any recommendations for a good TDI shop north of Philadelphia in Bucks county? Thanks

Hi Dont know if anyone can help but both the heated door mirrors dont work, are they on a seperate fuse?, or is there a coil of some sort that needs replacing? Thanks Yas

I'm looking to replace my wifes 89 BMW 325is and have been thinking of a 2001 gti. Can I get some info on potential problems and feedback on this car? I won't buy an auto so don't worry about commenting on the auto trans, I'd like to hear about things like how hard(or easy) it is to change the...

Thanks for the tip. I sprayed throttle body cleaner inside the throttle body and wiped it clean with a soft cloth and it fixed the rough idle problem.

Hi, Sorry for cross posting, but since the car has a VW engine in it it's somewhat relevant to the newsgroup. I've seen other people converting their Diesels to vegetable oil in this newsgroup so I figured it'd be ok to post. I'm selling my Volvo 240 on ebay. It has a VW DIESEL engine in it. I...

Just took my '85 Jetta for the required Oregon emissions inspections - and it failed the NOx test with a measurement of 4.78 g/mi which is over the state limit of 3.70 g/mi. My first thought was - a bad EGR valve. But it doesn't have an EGR valve. My second thought was maybe I had the wrong spark...

Dear all, I have an 89 Jetta GLi, and the tie rods, front strut inserts, and strut bearings are new, and I can't see any play when I raise the front of the vehicle and twist a wheel - the steering wheel and other wheel seem to twist at the same time. The car doesn't wander on the highway, and...

I've seen several posts on this subject, but all the links to this procedure are expired. So, I am posting this again. Does anyone have a procedure on how to repalce the light bulb for the climate control knobs? Is it as simple as pulling off the knobs to get at the bulb? Thanks
