My '87 Golf has been diagnosed as having R&P damage (sticks on turns and clunks when steering wheel is turned while stationary) I have told this is not worth fixing as it is too expensive ...Iam wondering just how difficult it is to exchange the R&P ... thanks Michael

In my new-to-me '95 Golf III GL (has '96 styling... sold in Canada), the automatic door locks are somewhat unreliable. All of the locks are supposed to lock/unlock together when you (un)lock one of the front doors (it's a four-door). Instead, some of them go and some of them don't....

my triptronic got "looose" betweeen 'D' and manual mode two days ago but worked fine in manual mode. Today the stick can be put to the manual mode but it keeps it anyway in the 'D' mode. Seems to be a mechanical problem and apparenlty not that $$. But are there anybody out there who have an idea...

Ok so i had fun this morning I got out of class and went to unlock my passenger side door and now that one wont work so I had to have a guy come and pop open the door for me. I went to the dealership they said it would cost $100 for each door and labor cost. I called a local guy here in Colorado...

I've got an intermittent issue with my 99 Jetta. It drives fine, but idling, it pulses from ~800RPM to ~500RPM (and sometime stalls). It doesn't happen all the time, but seems to happen more often when the engine is cold or there's an electrical load (headlights, loud stereo, power windows, etc)....

I'm at that funny stage when I'm considering trading my 2004 1.8 Passat. 44,000 miles 5 speed. I may buy a Hybrid. What are the long term costs of keep the Passat? I've read that repairs as they age can be annoying and expensive. Thanks in advance. David

'90 Golf 8v I had a rough running problem and the car was stalling at intersections and starting hard. I replaced the coolant temp. sensors to no avail. Upon closer inspection I discovered a giant tear in a hose. It's the air hose at the highest point on my motor- on top of the valve...

My 79 Rabbit (gas) died while idling. Ran perfect before that. I have spark and fuel when the key is in the starter position. As soon as I let it to run position it dies. New fuel pump relay. Fuel pump works when jumpered. New ignition switch did nothing. Could a coil fail and cause this? I'm a...

Hi all, does anyone have an idea as to how much I expect to spend to replace a bad thermostat in this car, 2.0L I-4? Thank you all.

I have a 1985 1.8L auto Jetta bought used in 2002. It has something over 200.000 miles on it (odo hasn't worked for about a year and I've been too lazy to take it out of the car and fix the pawls again). It's a daily driver, and my seventh VW (Type 3 squareback, three type II's, two other Jetta...
