Parting out an old 8V CIS-E GTI/GLI? Cleaning out the garage? I know someone out there has a used CIS-E coolant flange (cylinder head to radiator, water pump, oil cooler) that they're willing to sell me. Mine has pitting corrosion with pinholes on the radiator outlet port. Dealer wants...

Hello all, Thanks to a fellow enthusiasts from Portugal, we have tested our product with A3 (MK3) VW Polo. So, there is one for auction on ebay http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ50QQsassZduostyling and more available through our site http://www.duostyling.com/frames.html Thanks for...

I have a 91 GTI with a 5-spd transmission. It started making loud noises the other day. When I drained the tranny, I found gear chunks. This is my second transmission. Is it worth rebuilding? Edwin

Just sold my 89 and got an 01 Golf. Maybe someone out there did the opposite recently. I have the Bentley for the 89 (covers 85-92 - grey cover) and would be interested in setting up a trade (or my Bentley plus cash) for the one that covers the A4s (red cover). Reach me at the above gmail...

Took my car into the shop got it back and the main hose that connects the radiator to the engine was unhook, there was any anti-freeze in the car, the car was running a little hot after about 10 mile drive look i look and notice that hose unpluged. I plug it back in and fill it with water, then...

I bought a CPO 2002 passat with the Monsoon Sounds System installed. The audio has PLENTY of bass but the mid and upper frequencies are very... shrill or tinny. I find myself turning the mid and high adjustments down quite a bit. Is this typical of the Monsoon systems or should I take it in to...

I have a 85' Vanagon that refuses to pass california smog. When tested it had "too much fuel" in the exhaust. I replaced the intake air meter (at the VW techs suggestion) and still the same result. Another symptom is that the smog tech had difficulty getting it to idle at 2500 rpm. He said "air...

I previously owned a 1979 VW Rabbit Diesel that gave me several years of great performance that I only sold because I lived in the snow belt of upstate NY, and the body rusted out. I only had to change the oil and clean the valves to keep it running, and I sold it with 210,000 miles on it, so...

My 96 Jetta has windows that will go up by themselves when you close the door, and after coming back out from a short stop, the driver's or passenger's window will sometimes be down. I did have a problem with the rear regulators stopping working, but replaced the motors. It got so bad that I had...

OK, I don't have the manual transmission but still, this car is a blast ! I love the ride of my Passat but why can't I burn rubber? Not enough horsepower?

Dear NG: It's almost time to get some 185-14/60 rubber for the new (used) Audi rims that will (modestly) upgrade my 'Rocco. Perusing TireRackdotcom, I have settled on the Yokohama HS4. I know the Dunlop D60-A2 (now superseded I think) has been mentioned frequently here, but it got poor reviews...

I am having a problem with my 98' Jetta GLX VR6 electronics. I just purchased the car 2 days ago and yesterday my fuel quantity gauge and my coolant temp. gauge stopped working on me. My left instrument panel back light doesn't work either, I am not sure if the two problems are related or not? ...

Found out why my 84 Scirocco's AT was not upshifting correctly: my throttle valve cable stretched. Lovely. How much would one of those set me back and where can I get one? -- Mauricio raub-kudria-com (if you need to email me, use this address =)

I had my 96 Jetta converted from a Auto to a 5 Speed. They removed the TCM & Jumped the Netural Safty switch. Now I've gotten it back and the Check Engine Light is on. This shop did not have the VAG or VW software. They hooked a Snap-On ODB2 machine to it and it gives off the fault code for the...

Hi All. I have a 98 cabrio that has an exhaust leak coming from in front of the converter. Unfortunatley I cannot see where the leak is due to the heatshield. What I would like to know, is if there is a flex coupling between the downpipe and the converter, or does the coverter and downpipe bolt...

My car is a 1988 VW (Rabbit) Cabriolet Convertible. It has the cheapest and flimsiest black plastic drip tray I have ever seen. I am talking about the tray under the hood, just forward of the windshield. I think it is intended to direct rain water away from the windshield wiper motor and...
