Question to all you folks out there with very elderly VWs like mine: what do you do when the molded hoses in the intake system start to go south? I disassembled my intake system today and found that many of the hoses that connect the idle stabilizer valve to the throttle body have small cracks...

Hey all- Thanks for the help on the offset.... I need a replacement 14" steel wheel for a 1995 Jetta III.... I know that this is a 45mm offset rim.... Any ideas which mid-90s models used the same wheels?? (none of my local salvage yards have Jettas) Thanks Tim

on the 95 GLX's, with OBD I, will any code cause the check engine light to come on? Or only emissions related codes? I think OBD II is different, and lights up with any codes stored. Right? I suspect my secondary coolant pump is not working, I believe it should code on the OBD I, but don't have a...

Hi My indash cd player, installed when car was new no longer plays. It ejects cds. Switching function to rear changer works. Is there any aftermarket repair facilities or does this item have to be repaired by VW. Any other tips or suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks, Martin

Hey all, I've got an 89 Wolfsburg Jetta with the 3-point belts in the rear seats, but only a shoulder harness that goes from the inside edge of the seat to the door (and is required to be latched to start the car). I've thoroughly looked and can't see where the lapbelts have been removed or were...

Hey- I have a 95 Jetta III with 6Jx14" ET45 still rims (base model). I have 195/60/R14 tires all around and was wondering what the factory spec for PSI was.... The owners manual says there should be a sticker on the drivers door jam, but there is only one sticker and it lists gross vehicle...

Anyone know anything about the new models coming out next year? Our sales guy just said the standard will have 135 HP, and that there will be a Jetta convertible. He talked of them coming out Feb-March, at least perhaps some of them.

I own a 1999 Jetta GLS with a VR6, new model. I love the car, but I had $3,000 worth of part replacements in the first 3.5 years (not including maintenance). My husband's CRX got stolen the other day, and a friend who is a sales manager at a dealer has a 2002 Jetta GLS with leather, Monsoon...

What was the last year of the air-cooled Beetle in Europe? I understand that it lasted a few years longer there than it did here. And which version(s) were avaliable at the end? If memory serves me, only the "Super Beetle" cabriolet was avaliable in the U.S. during the last year or 2 of it's life...

I have a '97 Jetta GL, auto, with 122K miles, and discovered recently that the cruise control didn't seem to be working. I'm not a big user of the feature, but it was nice to have around. The thing just didn't engage when I employed the toggle on the turn signal. I was wondering if this is a...

Hello all My dad has this problem with his VR6 (golf 3), whenever the car is started from cold fuel will leak from the fuel pump area. What's funny is the fact that this only happens when the car is cold. Also the fuel only leaks when the car is running, ie when the fuel pump is working (still...

Can anyone tell me how to reset my radio? Someone worked on my car and disconnected the battery. Now the radio is asking for some sort of code before it will play. Help, please.

Hello, I have a VW Golf III GL with a 2.0L motor. I dont have airbags and the seatbelts are those door mounted ones. The problem that I am seeing with the front (chest) belt (the one that hooks to the door area) is that they dont lock up if pulled on suddenly. I think its not the normal behavior...

2002 Passat GLS. The Monsoon stereo is has no power. If I remember correctly, the fuse is on the back of the unit. I checked the main panel, there is nothing there for it. Is there any way for a civilian to get at that fuse, or am I looking at another trip to the dealership (they are backed up...
