83 rabbit exhaust-help by chris
Hi all, I am hoping somebody can give me a bit of advice. Recently the pipe in my exhaust system rusted clean through and was actually dragging under my car. It needed some help so I took it to a local muffler shop. They told me my entire exhaust system was shot and needed replacement. My car...

'90 Golf faltering for a second. Transfer fuel pump? by tonyw
Hi, Checking in with the gurus. I have a '90 Golf (gas engine, 8 valve) that's been exhibiting short bouts of faltering on acceleration most times when going uphill. The engine doesn't cut out entirely and continues running, but power is severely reduced so the car essentially coasts for up to...

Scirocco won't run with warm engine by nutso fasst[_2_]
Hi all. Got a problem that started suddenly. 81 Scirocco starts and runs fine so long as engine compartment is cool. Warm things up, either by running or by sun on the hood (or on the engine with hood up) and the engine will suddenly seem like it's running on one cylinder..."chug..chug..chug..",...

Offering extra services during routine maintenance by Eric O.
A couple days ago, I took my 2009 VW Rabbit in for its 10,000 mile/1 year service, as recommended by the owner's manual. When I got there and the service tech was looking at my car, he said that based on how the tires looked (I don't remember the term he used), he thought my car might need an...

Opinions on the W8 Passat by [email protected]
Inquiring minds want to know dept. My local mechanic has a W8 Passat with a pristine body but a blown engine at his shop. The owner is thinking about replacing the engine. My guy can get a used W8 motor for $4500 or a replacement engine from VW for $7500. Is this car worth fixing?

96 Jetta TD, wiper control arms "falling off" by [email protected]
My wipers are currently inoperable on my Jetta, and when I pop open the hood and check, the arms appear to have fallen off the "crank" that connects to the wiper motor (which works fine). Re-connecting the arms just gets me another swipe or two before they fall off again. The arms are relatively...

Cabin Air Filter for VW Golf III TDI 90HP GL 1995 by Wao
I just bought a spare cabin air filter for my VW Golf III 90HP GL '95. The old one was very dirty and clogged up so I need a new one. The previous filter's brand was 'Valeo' but the new one is 'MECAFILTER' (http://www.mecafilter.com/). This new filter comes with a set of instructions that can...

Clutch release failure - opinions please... by JettaPZ
Hello, Tried posting this earlier - no joy. Anyway, i have an early '99 Jetta WE; 2.0L, 020 transaxle, pretty heavily modified. It's blown (Neuspeed supercharger) and that might provide some insight here. The problem is the clutch doesn't fully disengage, even if the clutch cable is adjusted too...

Current Leak in 1993 Corrado by [email protected]
The battery goes dead if the car is not used for two or three days. I have replaced the battery and the fuse box with new units. An ammeter in series with the positive lead to the battery shows a small current draw with the ignition key turned off and removed. The draw does not go away if all...

Who decides dealer inventory? by semi-ambivalent
I don't want to over-simplify this but I've been looking for a manual transmission jetta SE along the Front Range of Colorado and they are just not to be found. All I see are TDIs and/or automatics. Overwhelmingly with black interiors and usually black exteriors. Monotonous. And boring. Are these...

Only one Passat wagon model now? by Bert Hyman
Just looked at the VW website and notice that there's only one model Passat wagon shown, with no S, SE, SEL, etc. nomenclature. There appear to be no engine or transmission options. When did that happen? Is it real or just some temporary marketing push on the Web site? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul,...

40K service on 09 TDI by Wes[_3_]
I just had my service today. $842.61. Yes, that's right, over 800 dollars. I've never felt more raped in my life. I'm so upset, and to add insult to injury, I'm not sure they used the correct engine oil. I'm setting here (just got back from the dealer) pondering what my plan of action should...

VW Maintainability by John[_28_]

Clutch issues; opinions? by JettaPZ
Hey All, I have an A3 Jetta 2.0L (very modified) that has developed a clutch- release issue. The clutch suddenly wouldn't release fully; expected to find the clutch cable almost broken. But it's intact and it's been long enough since that it should have separated entirely by now if that were the...

Life expectancy of 1995 VW Golf TDI 90HP by Wao
I've got this Volkswagen Golf with a TDI engine developing 90 HP which was made circa 1995. It's got about 155,000 miles on the speedometer. That car burns some oil but other than that it's running just fine. I figure there's an expensive maintenance job --timing belt-- to be done in about...
