This time I know where it is, and what it is that's leaking. Need help either finding the entire OEM assembly, OR, what I need to get to make some fascsimile of it. Again, 88 Fox Wagon GL, 1.8L CIS-E. The culprit is the hose assembly that goes from the fuel filter to the steel line under the...

Our Jetta suddenly will not beep the horn when you lock the doors with the remote. Lights still flash and I have replaced the battery in the remote. Any ideas why this would just start and were to look? Thanks in advance, Ray

This is an '81 Scirocco. There are 3 bolts that attach the pulley free-spinner (or whatever it's called) to the compressor body. I haven't had a belt on the AC for decades, but somehow those 3 bolts have vibrated loose and all three are gone, leaving the pulley thingy vibrating loudly...

I have a 1996 VW Jetta 2.0 liter with standard shift and air conditioning which has a gasoline odor especially when the air conditioning is on. I don't see any evidence of gasoline leakage under the hood or elsewhere. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Read in a recent issue of a automotive magazine that VW intends to build a beetle based on the current Golf platform. That is, small and economical. Are they going back to the beetle's original intent? -- Dave

Hi all. 81 Scirocco has 255K+ miles on original motor. Wife drove it less than 3400 miles during the last 2 years. It seemed to be running good, so I just drove it to the smog tester without any interim hard driving. It failed. HC was 90/110ppm at 15/25mph 2 years ago but is now 190/150 (max is...

Has anybody any tips for replacing the engine mounts on a 1984 VW diesel rabbit? I've looked through all the manuals I've got, and they all seem to just gloss over it. Thanks, Reid

As followup to an unanswered question I posted last month, the answer is that the 4 bolts (not 3) holding the clutch pulley to the compressor actually ARE US standard 1/2" coarse thread bolts. Strange, since this is a German-built car. nf

This is a list from Amsoil of engines prone to sludge. "The engines identified in the following chart have been reported to be prone to sludge. ^^^^^^^^^^ For Audi/Volkswagen (L stands for Liter): 1.8 L 4-cylinder Turbo

Hi, The small clip that the clutch cable attaches to (on the gearbox end in the engine bay) broke. I have bought a new clip, but in trying to reattached the cable, the cable seems to be about 3cm (1 inch) too short to reach the clip where it meets the clutch / gearbox housing. This is after...

As I was driving my car started to slow down and then it stoped and the battery light came on. I waited a few seconds and turned my car back on. It was fine. Later on that night I went to turn my car on and the EPC light came on.....What is wrong with my car?? I have a 2000 Golf GLS (automatic...

I have heard that VW is changing from a 4-year new car warranty to a 3-year warranty with all regular maintenance included. This might affect my buying decision, Is a 3-year, 36,000 mile warranty with all maintenance included a better deal? There can't be too much maintenance, outside of...

I've got a '84 VW turbo diesel rabbit that emits a strange noise at around 90kph. The noise is coming from the right side of the car. It is most evident at around 90 in either 4th or 5th gear. Rather than clumsily try to describe this noise, I've put up a sound file he ...

Due to heat the whole thing has fallen like half a balloon from the ceiling of the car but it is not ripped. Can you please advise, if I remove the cardboard and clean it from the excess foam, can I glue again the original material since it seems to be in good condition? The site below I¢ll use...

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?
