I'm currently restoring my '87 VW Scirocco 16v and just recently acquired an OE exhaust downpipe ($1200.00 + at a VW dealer), I've cleaned it up and ready to install however since I still have it off I was considering either ceramic coating or heat wrapping it prior to install. My question is...

I have read here about "sealed" auto transmissions on VWs. Is that the case for my 2002 1.8T 5 speed stick ? Also, can anyone tell me where the fuel filter is for that car ? Much appreciated Charles

I recently changed my head gasket on my 1991 jetta gli and i believe the timing may be off just wondering why it will start but wont idle and wanted to know about i would go about fixing that

I recently purchased a USED 2001 VW Beetle. There are no warning bells, ding dongs when I leave the lights on, seat belts not warn or keys in ignition. Did someone disconnect them or is it an eletrical problem?

Have a '92 Passat GL - the engine and trans are fine and so is the body (in spite of Minnesota winters...), except for the front doors. My daughter had the car down in Chicago for about 2 years and when she brought it back there was rust in the lower edges of the doors from scraping on curbs. ...

Hi, I have recently had a few stray oil pressure warning buzzers go off on my 95 passat VR6. The dealership checked the pressure and everything is up to spec... they said to change to a heavier oil and it would go away. I still get these warnings occasionally after a long drive. Next, I checked...

I was wondering if this ever happened to anyone else. This weekend I noticed something hanging underneath the engine. I figured I must have picked up some trash when traveling on the freeway. As it turns out, what has happened, is the screws holding the radiator splash guard had fallen out. ...

Hello all, Every few years I throw this question out to the group and fish for ideas, but the problem persists. Often (whenever I'm about to say it correlates with dampness or cold or time between startups, it happens or doesn't happen when it shouldn't) the engine will fire, then die immediately....

I have a 99 jetta 2.0 AEG. Car was doing great. Went on vacation, returned to find dead battery. Thought must have left a light on, etc. Charged the battery and tried to start. Car will start initially, but in seconds runs very rough, misfires, and then dies. Got code 1543: Throttle Actuation...

Hi, I posted here a few days ago with a question about how to remove the starter from my 98 Beetle. That post was here but now seems to have gone into cyberspace. Didn't get a reply anyway. :-) Well, I finally got the friggin thing out and had it checked at my local starter/alternator shop and...

I have my first Scirocco, an unmolested but slightly raggy 85 8v. Long time VW driver, but this is becoming my favorite fast. Anyway, it's slow, it's a 90hp motor, eh. And it has a ton of oil leaks, and I have a feeling what might well be a burnt valve or worn cam lobe. So, being I am a salesman...

Hey guys. customer recently brought in a 91 GTI. We thought it was a fuel leak at first but realized quickly that the gas was leaking out of the exhaust flange from INSIDE the exhaust. We pulled the plugs and found A LOT of fuel inside the cylinders. The car has spark but is for some reason...

Hi, I've noticed my odometer has not clicked over from 106027 miles for at least 2 years (I only bought the car a week or so ago). I've seen the various posts on here about taking the speedo apart to sort it out, but would it be easier (cheaper...?!) to replace the whole unit...? I'm looking at...

I have a 99 Beetle which has a broken window and door lock button. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to order parts? Thanks bob 99 Beetle 04 Jetta TDI

I want to adjust the gear shift on an '86 jetta and the Bently manual says to loosen the shift rod clamp bolt in order to do this. The manual has a picture of the bolt but I can't tell from the picture exactly where it is located. Do I have to go under the car or can I access it from above the...

I am writing for a friend who owns a 1986 Quantum with 5 cylinder and 5 speed manual. Although the transmissions engages all forward gears well (she says that 1st is sometimes slightly reluctant) reverse grinds very badly on engagement. I tried it and it really grinds. Selecting 1st gear...

I've started some preliminary troubleshooting of the air conditioning on my '84 Rabbit. Unfortunately, my Bentley doesn't really say anything about air conditioning. It appears that the refrigerant in my bunny is still the old R12, so I'm figuring that I will need to get it converted to R134a in...

I found all the P codes for readings I took (2001 Jetta VR6) .. any VW expert can steer me on where to start? Thanks - Scott a.. P0031 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 a.. P0037 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2 a.....
