Sometimes I'm extrodinairly guilty of doing things out of order, and could use some help.... I want to upgrade the brakes to the bigger R32 style calipers, rotors, etc, and also get a set of steel rims to mount some blizzaks onto (I think the WS-50s.) The calipers aren't going to be installed...

Brought home one of the "left over" 2004 Touareg V8s today. Silver on dark grey leather, nearly fully loaded. We test drove various other vehicles, the XC90 T6, Grand Cherokee Limited (Hemi), Lincoln Aviator, Land Rover LR3 and outgoing Discoverey, the FX45, the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder, BMW X5, SRX...

I had my battery replaced at a non-dealer, and they don't have a lot of experiences with VW. Installation was "free". I wish I had discussed things a tad differently, tho things worked out fine. With winter coming, there may be others who would want to change the battery now rather than in cold...

A few days ago I posted about my drivers front turn indicator not working on my 2000 Golf. I cleaned the bulb up and it worked intermittently, so I bought a new bulb. The new bulb doesn't work any better; it works sometime and not others. The problem is in the bulb holder; one side of contacts...

An odd story about vehicle inspection in Massachusetts. The guy down the street who inspected my 2002 TDI last year said he couldn't this year because he'd just received his new state-mandated test-rig but the software didn't allow for emissions tests of diesel autos. He said they'd probably give...

A roommate moved out and left a set of Volkswagon Golf/GTI wheels. They are 6J15H2 ET38. Two tires have pretty good tread. Any ideas how much these are worth? Thanks!

What, with 0% financing, is a reasonable cash price? Dealer has had one--dark grey, cloth--for months. Have VR6 Jetta that I like very much. Is 200 hp engine significantly faster/smoother/etc. Any reliability issues? Thanks.

HI All, So I've got the fever for a new VW TDI. I went and test drove one saturday, it was really cool. The salesman tried to demo the sunroof, and said "the fuse must be blown". I went back today (wednesday), and the roof actuator motor was laying in the front seat. Fuse panel was pulled off...

I have a 99 passat 1.8 that I got about 1 year ago used with 50k. I had it looked over by a VW dealer when I bought it. Any how it just failed state inspection due to tie rod ends being loose. The dealer I took it to says there are no out standing recalls on the car. So I guess I am left to...

I have a 1997 Passat TDI, and live in Austin TX (not known for its cold weather !). It is just now getting "cold" (between 45-55), and my Passat really has a tough time starting... - the whole car is shaking - takes 5-10 seconds to catch - after the car starts, it is very rough (shakes the whole...

I've had several bouts of packrat attacks in my 2000 New Beetle. I leave my car in the driveway and every so often they take over the engine. The results? Sometimes it's just the stale popcorn smell of cooking seedpods when you turn on the fan. But today I paid $250+ for "damage to wires by...

I have a 1997 Passat TDI. After driving for a while (engine is nice and warm), if I put the engine under much load (like going up a hill), the Turbo will just stop working. - I can no longer hear the Turbo whine - the power drops significantly Could this be emission related ? some sensor not...

All, I have a 2003 GTI 1.8T. The manual says to change the filter every 5000 miles. I've been doing that, and changing the oil using Mobil 1. The oil filters I get from the dealer say on the filter that they're extended use, '15,000' mile filters. Is it really necessary to keep changing the...
