I'd like to install aftermarket guages on my 87 Fox. Where would be the best place to install a water temp gauge? Oil: does the stock oil pressure sender send a signal to anything other than the idiot light? I'd like to just be able to tap that point for a line to a mechanical gauge (or to a...

Engine check light. I...

FYI, My MAF sensor was acting up last year on my 99.5 Jetta TDI and once I replaced it with a new sensor (a Pierburg), it made a heck of a difference. It would actually get up to speed like it was supposed to. The only problem is that about 10k miles later, the car is starting to show signs of...

I have an eye on one 01 Jetta VR6 that have suspiciously low miles. My question is: Is it possible the odometer to be scrambled?

My 93 Golf is coming up for Drive Clean in the next couple of weeks. It has 240k, has been well maintained (for the most part), and runs well. The only thing that it seems to have a problem with is the first 3-5 minutes of running when it is wet out. It seems to sputter when I accelerate for...
