This problem with my GTI is driving me CRAZY!!! I'll be driving along on the highway, and the engine will suddenly and completely lose power. There is absolutely no response from the accelerator. When I coast to a stop at the side of the highway, the car returns to idle as if nothing happened....

Microbus drivers seem to run the risk of losing their knees in a front-on collision...is this true, how severe is it usually, and are there ways to avoid such problems to a point (such as reinforcing the car structure between the driver and the front of the car)? I'm looking into getting a Microbus...

My 17 year old son drove my 2000 Golf into a snowbank and tore off somesort of black fiber/plastic cover that hooks into bottom of the front bumper. Is it clear what I am referring to. I have got it stuck back in pretty good, but I am not fooling myself that it is a permanent fix. How important...

I don't know much about cars and have taken mine to the dealer for service for 30 years. Sadly, the local VW dealer is so lousy I have to do otherwise. Today I took my 2000 Golf 1.8T into a local shop for a oil change and state inspection. He said that while it passed inspection, the front...

Good Morning, all. Yesterday, I replaced the air filter on my 2003 1.8T for the first time. I noticed that the original filter looked a bit strange. It was the usual pleated paper sort, but it also had a pad of what looked like spun fiber glued to the bottom. The replacement filter does not have...

I have a 86 GTI and pondering selling it for a newer 4 door Golf (95-99). What I dislike most is the GTI trans ratio where your already at 3k rpm by the time your at 55mph in 5th. I was thinking I'd get a little better milage with a standard Golf trans plus the 4 door would cut my insurance...

Been running in circles thinking about this... recently I've fallen in love with the VW Fox. Not sure if it's just the name, or it's cute personality, or what, but as my current car now needs another clutch it seems time to look at something different... There's one for sale near me... a 1990...

Hi, I'm a newby here, and need a little direction. I'm trying to replace the driver's seat belt in my '84 Westfalia vanagon, and it looks like I have to remove the sink/stove cabinet to do so. Please tell me it isn't so. OK, enough whining. If I do have to remove the cabinets, where can I find the...

My wiper began to slow down then eventually stopped. I lubbed the linkage then they began to move slowly again. I'm trying to get at the linkage I removed the wiper arms but can't get the plastic trim off. I did take the environmental filter out but it seems like the trim is siliconed to the...

When the brake pedal on this car started going to the floor, I looked for signs of leaking brake fluid and leaks on any of the brake lines or wheel cylinders. I found none and the brake fluid reservoir which sits atop the master cylinder was at it's full mark. I suspected that the master...

I have a 98 Jetta and it's doing the exact same thing. So now I can't pass Emissions test. Lame... I guess I just don't drive it 'till someone out there has any ideas. Oh well, at least I'm not alone.

I am getting ready to replace the brake fluid in the golf. It is a '96 and has ABS. I just got finished w/ my older audi and assume it is the same procedure. I use a pressure bleeder at 10psi. The order on the audi was slave cylinder, RR, LR, RF, LF. Any btdt that would be different? thanx in...
