Before I start calling around for price quotes in the morning, I wanted to get some opinions about what cost I should expect to replace the timing belt on my 2000 VW Jetta GL 2.0L. I'm at 62k miles, and the belt is cracked and worn and ready for replacing. I have a few options, as I am smack in...

I have been having this problem for about a month now. When i go to start my car after it has been sitting for about 15 hours or so, it takes about 25 times to start. I have to hold my gas to the floor as well while i am starting it. It also smokes like crazy from the front when it fails to start...

My 1994 Jetta III GL 2.0L has been running rich since the day I got it in Novemebr 2004. Anyone have any ideas what to check? Thank you

Need to replace the heater core on my 92 Passat. It seems the whole dash has to come out including drilling out the steering column - that seem reasonable?

Is anyone selling a new VW Phatbox inexpensively nowadays? I bought one for $119 a while ago, but they seem to have gone up since... -Don

Just got my bomber back from VW after having a lot of engine seal work done on it. The service rep and I and the mech discussed a problem with the readings on the temp gage. They put a new thermostat in it and the water temp is right at about 195F. The gage, on the other hand, reads just a...

Can someone tell me where the clutch interlock switch for the ignition is located. It must need adjusting, because I have to almost put my foot through the floor to be able to allow the ignition switch to start turning the engine over. Thanks Don

Ok I have a 2001 beetle (automatic transmission). I know it was dark out when I was looking, but I couldn't find a dip stick anywhere. Does one exist? Is there a reservoir somewhere? -- Pain and suffering is inevitable, but misery is optional. Remember that an optimist is someone who makes the...

heating functional when car is stationary, as soon as drive there is not heat. Changed the thermostat and problem persists. Engine temperature is fine.

The price of Diesel fuel right now is robbing. Im going to guess that the price of Diesel fuel this winter will be $5.00 gal! Let them raise the price and gouge every single Diesel consumers' income out!

......I'm looking for a VW to convert to a greasecar and I came across a '92 Jetta diesel that emits a small plume of white smoke the first few seconds after startup.I'm new to diesels,and I was wondering if this is a benign occurance,or could it be something more ominous like a head gasket.? The...

Is there an after market product that is better than others? I have heard so many horror stories about having to replace the cables several times. I just want to fix it and be done with it.. While we are on the subject can just the cable be replaced? Or do I have to replace the whole...

I'm having a strange, but intermittent problem with my VW... The vehicle is a 2001 Jetta TDI, 5spd, 178,000km (110,000 miles). The problem is that, every once in a while, the throttle stops responding. This seems to happen only when accelerating away from a stop. All of a sudden, engine speed...

Just swapped in a 2.0L 16V in place of the old 1.8L 16V. I replaced a lot of parts on in 2.0 before it went in since it was a used engine from a Passat and not a rebuild. Head gasket, seals, water pump, timing belt etc were all replaced. I'm wondering if I installed the timing belt off by one...

My girlfriend has a 91 passat with an electronic speedo. A while back it would work intermittently and now it has just plain quit. Anybody got any ideas as to what this might be? Also it's been notoriously bad for overheating. The cambelt snapped a long while ago and the head was entirely rebuilt...

Our 2002 Jetta TDI has a recurring Malfunction Indicator Lamp (so called in the owner's manual, the engine-shaped yellow lamp on the speedometer face). Vehicle was purchased in May, under the Certified Pre-Owned program, with 30,000 miles (a lease termination); we've put 10,000 miles on it...
