I have a 1988 VW (Rabbit) Cabriolet Convertible with swiveling (not fixed) vent windows. I need a pair (LH and RH) of vent window black rubber seals in good condition. My vent window glass is bolted to the vent frame, not glued. If anyone has a pair to sell, please let me know. Thanks.

I saw a thread from a year ago about this, but it didn't have the details I need. The low-beam bulb on the driver's side of this GTI VR6 burned out. I removed the plastic cover behind the headlight (right in front of the hood release cable). I can see the big metal clip that holds the entire back...

Also looking for used TD engine. -- Rex Merriweather www.stunttrumpet.com

Last summer while was driving on the high mountain roads of southeastern British Columbia when the temperature would approach about 40 celsius at the height of the day. At about this time the engine (1.9l with fuel injection) would start backfiring about once every 10 to 15 minutes then it would...

I was just speaking with a dude at the parts counter at VW who gave up the brake line lengths: 535, 1290, 2350 and 2440 mm for front ds, ps, rear ds, ps respectively. He also told me 4.75 x 0.7 but didn't know what it meant. 4.75 mm ID and 0.7 mm wall? Anyone know size of the brake line...

Hi all, I have a 2002 Passat with the Monsoon sound system. It is definately loud with plenty of bass but the highs need some work. Has anyone added an equalizer to your Passat? If so, what brand and model? I HATE to do it but the shrill sound of the highs just kills it for me. ??

OT I know, but maybe others in this forum are interested. In the morning newspaper is a report about a just-leased pickup truck from GM to the US Army. It is a fuel cell powered Silverado. While it's total lack of contaminants into the atmosphere (just water vapor) is good, it's performance is...

How "doable" is this? I'm tired of hearing the thing whine every time I start it up and fear the day it blows up on me.. Thanks, Steve

Blew out three of the original stock Michelins earlier this winter, and decided to replace with winter tires and deal with the expense of replacing the michelins with 4 brand new summer only tires after the snow season left us. The Michelins are so expensive, and now I have a dedicated set...

enough abbreviations for you? Can anybody comment on not having ASR and EDL on the Jetta/Golf TDI's? It's kind of disappointing as those seem like very desirable features. I got the ESP, which, based on the literature, is something of a superset of the ASR and EDL capabilities so it seems like...

Went to the dealer today for the special early launch of the new Jetta. Found out some really good things about it: Electrical system - made by the same company that makes the systems for Toyota There is a tunnel and a cutout already in this car - 4Motion is coming in ~2 years The 5-cylinder...

I have 2 '95 Jettas and one had the same problem. It was a combination of 2 bad door switches and a faulty alarm module. Module is an order item from dealer, ran about a buck-seventy (170.00). Man its worth it when every time you open the door to get in the damn alarm starts going off! I liked it...

Hi I have a question my sister has a 95 Jetta GL A3 with a stock radio/cassette player she recently had to replace the fuse in it and now on the display it is showing the word "SAFE" does anyone know the code to unlock the radio. Thanks Mike

Man, my IP started doing that a couple months ago. There are sensors that transmit to the instrument cluster or speed/tach etc... The manual should show which fuses/relays to check first. Then obviously the sensors/switches themselves. And one I always enjoy - busting out the ol' voltmeter and...
