U 'r lucky Mr. Head, Some people have all the luck. I bought mine used 3 weeks ago, a '93 eurovan model and the radio manual said nothing about the code and there is no single Volkswagen dealer in my area to take the radio to for a new code. I guess thats my luck. dont u...

Hi, Does anyone know how to find replacements for the "new style" aerotwin Passat windshield wipers (other than the dealership, where it costs about $100 !!!). I was not able to find any replacement for those (I think the model is 925 or something like this, "aerotwin" in any case). I would really...

Hey all, Is it unusual for the fuel pump housing to be leaking? I've scored a used assembly for an '89 GLi 16V, with the accumulator/pump/filter/housing. Any warnings or tricks before I try to swap that out? I have new rubber spacer nut things... is it wise to take the mounting bracket off of...

I have a VW 2002 Jetta 1.8T, last weekend I drove it out of town, I drove about 150 miles and then stopped for a break. When I got back on the road I drove about 5 miles and the battery light (generator light) came on and the car instantly died. Fortunately I was about 20 miles from my destination;...

Should the dual mass flywheel in a 2002 1.8t/5spd VW have ~10 degrees of rotational freeplay (no resistance at all)? I could easily move the flywheel back and forth about 10 degrees with no force at all... I understand that there is a damping mechanism in the flywheel - is it springs, fluid or...

1998 Jetta TDI, Crank, no start, no glow indicator, no MIL. Load reduction relay 109 swapped with new spare. Swapped relays marked 53, both work. No change. Physically checked fuses, reseated fuses and relays. Battery connections clean and tight. Bentley wiring diagrams and such are somewhat...

A few days ago, I replaced the coolant temperature sensor in my '01 Jetta, 2.0 engine. When you pull out the old sensor, about a quart of coolant spills out, lands right on top of the clutch and tranny. I don't think there's anything I could have done to prevent that, other than draining the...

After removing and replacing a worn out clutch in an 81 Rabbit diesel, I reinstalled the transmission and when I went to hook up the clutch cable, found that there was hardly any resistance lifting the clutch lever on tranny until it was almost near the top. I removed the tranny again and compared...

I have a '93 Passat GLX wagon. Years ago, I replaced the terrible OEM headlights with a set of Hella Sport "Colour Design" headlights. They have seperately adjustable low and high beams with a cool black look that doesn't reduce light output. The low beams are projector types. On a recent drive on...

Our squirrel-cage heater blower under hood has worn out. The question is how to install (expensive) replacement. Can the unit be removed/replaced from the top side under the hood, or do you have to drop heater assembly under the dash? This car does NOT have A/C. Thanks Rich CT

My '82 Diesel (I don't think that it will matter) has a burned out light that illuminates the speedometer portion of the instrument cluster. The parts guy at H&L Mueller here in Calgary seems to think that one needs to remove the cluster to make the change. Bently says that you can get at it...

Replaced my heater core this week on my 95 GTI VR6 after 140K miles. While the dash was out did a little "cleaning" of the rats nest under my dash. Reconnected everything and tested all the electrical - except for the radio which was stupid - put the crossbeam member back on and started to put...

Hey guys, im 17 years old and im studying to become an Auto technician, and i just recently bought a 1996 Volkswagen Passat GLX 5spd, and i have rebuilt the front end on it already due to a accident last summer, and bough the car for 400 dollars. I have replaced the Oil Pan gasket already, because...

I have a 2000 VW Golf GL 2.0 auto and im interested in doin a manual conversion. If anyone knows how much it would cost for this precedure and what parts i would need please let me know! Thanks, Brandon

Greetings, I have a '93 Passat Wagon that has the unfortunate feature of an automatic transmission. The automatic is now behaving like a manual in the sense that it won't shift by itself anymore, so rather than drop the $3k Cdn that I've been quoted to replace the tranny, how much would it be and...

I have a 2001 Jetta that is the worst car I have ever owned in my life. I have had the power steering unit replaced because the pulley was bent, 2 months ago. Now the power steering fluid is disapearing after 2 or 3 days of filling it. There are no visable leaks, so I am lost. What is going on?

Hey guys, i got another question. i found out why my car is leaking so much, but the oil pressure switches do they come with a light, or a gauge, so i know what type to get...im not sure on this one, cuz i wasnt sure if the oil pressure switch has a light on it or a gauge...so PLEASE i need help...

My 96 golf leaked out most of the fluid (2.0) and it seems to be coming from the gasket around the port in the engine. If so......is this an easy fix? Do I need an original gasket or can I use automotive silicone (gasket maker)? Also, are there any trouble spots to look for when removing this...

Just thought I'd write a note to let everyone know what just happened to my 03 Jetta TDI wagon... I got it new in '03 and before 20K my coolant light went on. Brought it to the dealer and they said to just add some. I told them I was worried because if there was a leak, it wasn't coming out the...
