A2 drivers door handle by [email protected]
The outside door handle of my A2 Jetta hardly activates the latch, meaning I have to yank the door open. The interior latch works fine. I recently replaced the exterior latch, and it worked somewhat better, but it still is not right. Any suggestions?

Hi there. I have a 2002 GTi 1.8T with 49k miles. About 4 weeks ago my check engine light came on and a diagnostic test revealed that my O2 sensor was bad. I was told that I didn't have to replace it right away, but should as soon as I could afford to. The part price was about $170. I decided to...

TDI Warning light by David
I have a 99.5 Jetta TDI. The past few days I've had one of the warning lights come on. It's the "coil" which comes on in the Winter to show that the diesel fuel is warming up. It goes out when the fuel is warm enough to start the engine. This week it has come on a couple of times while I was...

Hello... I was working on my 1995 Jetta GLS today and removed the 109 and 94 relays. When I replaced them the car would crank, but would not start. I read that the 109 relay has something to do with the fuel injectors so I think this might be the problem, but I don't know how to fix it. Anyone...
