I have come across a 1997 Turbo Diesel (not TDI) that is 5 speed, 120,000 km's, one owner, no rust, drives nice, etc. I am replacing my 93 Golf, and do want to go diesel. Timing belt just done, exhaust from manifold back is new, has air, new brakes, new tires, comes with snow tires. Little...

VW sent a list of approved oils for my 1.8t Passat which I have misplaced. Is that list available on the Internet? And I understand that a larger filter is now recommended due to sludge issues. Is there a list of ones that meet this requirement? Thanks WVK

I have a 93 jetta 2.0Ltr and no manuale and am unable to get one shipped down as of yet and would very much appreciate some help. What please is the plug gap setting/cylinder order and firing order/ignition timming. Also i have bought a new cam timing belt and asociated parts ie water pump tension...

When I put gas in the other day, it started sputtering. Put dry gas in and it was fine. Today put gas in and it started sputtering again..then stalled and wouldn't start. Put dry gas in again and started up and ran fine. Went to start it up tonight and it wouldn't start. Sounded as if it wanted...

I am looking for somebody that markets a strip of red LED lights specifically for use as a third brakelight. The one in my Scirocco is along the lower part of the window only about 6" above the main lights (I could never see the point of having it that low on so many cars). I want to put it along...

Folks, I'm at wit's end with the following problem: When the car was about two years old (and just a couple of months after the 40K service), the check engine light began to turn on occasionally. Eventually, I started to notice what seemed to be a misfiring / sputtering of the engine at low RPMs...

Friday, February 11 2005, @ 12:42 PM (-0800 GMT) Hi, Hate to say, but my super nice 67 Bug is now gone... :-( It went to a really fine fellow named Ned Kramer in Canyon Country, CA. Ned just sold a house and is getting married to a girl named Lisa. I hope they honeymoon in the Bug! Did not want...

1. Are there still new R32's about? I realize this is perhaps an unanswerable question, but would appreciate any suggestions if no sightings available. 2. Is there an inordinate number of R32's (used) for sale already? Seem to be a lot on e-bay, and one local dealer has one. All are...

I'm looking for a source for a six speed transmission for a 16V Scirocco. If it could also have a limited slip differential, that would be a plus. I had notes on several sources from years back, but of course now that it's time to actually shop, I seem to have misplaced them. - Bill

Hi Brandon: I understand how you feel and I don't like this sort of thing either, especially in technical forums. I'm sure the sender thinks something great has been accomplished. Nothing was, and he or she is misguided. The real way to help others is to do something on a personal level - such as...

Hello people, I took my 2003 VW Passat wagon in for its 20,000 mile service maintenance yesterday. The mechanic observed that the rear brake rotors were warped and replaced them. VW covered the cost f replacement as a "one time warranty action". I am perplexed as to why the rotors warped. I...

The connecting pipe between front and rear muffler broke on my 96 Golf and both mufflers appear to be at the end of their life. The replacement looks simple if I can separate the front muffler from the long pipe that leads to the cat. The joint that I need to take apart has a flat clamp that...

I'm visiting my brother-in-law in Israel. He has a '94 Seat Ibiza, which has just one issue that he'd like to resolve. I'm the car guy of the crowd. I'm quite familiar with US SPEC VW's with 1.8's and various forms of injection, but don't know much about what's in this car. The motor is a 1.6...

When I bring my 98 Passat Wagon in for service, the dealer tries to sell me an "Engline Flush". Best I can tell from the literature is that it uses some 3M product that's supposed to flush out "gunk" from the engine. Question is: is it worth the US$65 or so they're charging and how often is an...

I'm in the process of replacing the timing belt, tensioner, and all the oil seals on the front of my engine. In the process, I have removed the oil pan. Tonight while working under the car, I turned the crank slightly using a wrench. When I do this, I hear a hissing sound that sounds like air...
