Every thousand or so miles my '91 Golf GL starts to lack acceleration. It stops advancing around 2500 RPM. It's because my distributor cap posts and rotor are charring for some reason. I have to get out the Dremel tool with the wire brush and clean it off then the car runs great till it charres up...

Hello, Some lovely person has broken into my campervan (Type 25 1985 Watercooled) by smashing the lock on the tailgate. I have replaced the whole lock but I have found that there is a gap of about 4-5mm around the lock and the bodywork. I am guessing that there used to be some kind of round...

I am looking at a 1987 Jetta Deluxe Diesel 2 door that a guy down the street is considering selling. Runs good, looks fair, 1.8L 5 speed, 210,000 miles. A/C does not work, windows won't roll up or down, and fan switch isn't working. Also, for some reason the wipers run constantly?? However, he...

I've had wet weather stalling problems with my '97 Jetta. It's not like it dies going through a puddle - instead, I'm typically stopped at an intersection, and the engine does when I let out the clutch and give it some gas. I crank it repeatedly - for the first few times nothing happens. Then...

I just retired this car, at about 250k. Original clutch finally went. I'm trying to figure out what it's worth, as is. Kelly claims a value of about $1,100, in fair condition. But I'm not sure if that assumes that certain components have been replaced at some point. Aside from the original...

I have an 84 Rabbit with about 145,000 miles on it. I'm concerned about the fuel pump since it's so old. I'd like to replace it but I'm not sure if I have an electrical or mechanical pump. Or if I have more than one. The car is a 1.7l, carburetor engine. I think it has a mechanical fuel pump...

I have a 2004 Passat four door sedan with the four cylinder engine. The brake lights (both tail light units and the rear window light) stayed on when I shut the car down tonight and removed the key. I tried everything, pumping the brake pedal, shutting the ignition on and off, starting and...
