Hello NG. I just bought a beat up Golf GTD from 1988 (maybe 1989 model) The color is blue metallic. There is no servicebooklet. And the sticker in the back off the trunk is also gone. Can anybody point me to a site where i can compare my cars color with some pictures or color charts.

Thanks. You recommended or implied that I drive my 88 Fox Wagon with more enthusiasm. (stop babying it) The car has stopped the minor smoking at idle. Stopped using oil. Seems more responsive. Was trying to improve the gas mileage by being antsy with the gas pedal. More pedal fixed it...

I just got a cd changer for my Golf, which I know is compatible with my head unit. When I bought the car, the previous owner said the wires were already fitted for a changer, but without ripping out all the interior trim in the boot I'm not sure where to look. I know what I'm looking for - 2xRCA...

Hi all - just picked up a 1998 Jetta K2. In getting it ready for an Ontario "safety inspection", I was working on the drivers side power window (unsuccessfully). The Haynes manual listed a fuse 6 as 'fuse for electric windows'. I pulled the fuse; it was OK. Right after that, the car wouldn't start....

I say goodby and thanks to you all. I've sold my 87 Vanagon, had it since it was new. It served me well, but is being replaced by a '62 Corvair van I've just restored. The group had been most helpful over the years. I wish you all good and safe motoring. Jim Corey Atascadero, CA

My fuel release button is broke on the driver side door, How do I remove it from the assembly on driver side door so I can replace it with a new one. I hope I am explaining it correctly.

My daughters car started overheating so I took it to a garage. They first replaced the thermostat, then the water pump. Now it seems that the car will no go out of 2nd gear. Its an automatic so now I will have to take it to a VW dealer as they cant even check the fluid levels thanks the way...

Just taking some notes here, but I've had a consistent oil leak on my 88 16v Scirocco since purchase over a year ago. It always seems to drip down from the oil pan sealing area, but I've already replaced the gasket w/ new oil pan a 3 months ago w/permatex. Found oil was still in that area, found...

Can anyone here tell me how and where to recharge the AC on an 85 Vanagon. The AC unit is in the cabinet above the bed. I've looked in the Bentley manual and it seems to assume 85's did not have AC. Also according to stickers in the engine compartment it has already been converted to 134...

First off, thanks to those who have helped me in the past regarding my 1989 Cabriolet. It is running pretty well, and is pleasure to drive now that we finally have warm weather here in the northeast! There are a few things I just want to mention, and ask if there's anything I should do, or if...

I have a 02 VW GTI with 80,000 miles and there is quite a lot of noise while driving. I replaced the tires and unfortunately, the noise has slowly gotten worse. I was told by the dealer the the wheel bearings and struts need to be replaced. Is there a test that I can do to confirm their...

Hello, I have searched the web high and low with no answer so far... My Bentley Manual on CD specifies that when I replace the oil pan gasket on this car I should coat the mating surfaces with "D2". The oil pan gasket is Rubber and the oil pan is Steel. I have seen many references on the web to...
