Hello VW experts, Have an '80 VW Rabbit, Westmoreland style w/ square headlights. About a year ago, I upgraded the car to intermittent wipers, intending to save the wear and tear on the wiper motor, linkages, and blades. Prior to doing that upgrade, the wipers would occasionally not park...

Our door lock plunger used to snap into full-up or full-down position. Now it just seems to float or fall back to the half-up position. Is there a spring in there somewhere that could have broken? rich

Owite People, I have a 82 Mk1 Golf and need to get some decent coilovers without breaking the bank, any ideas? Was considering the Jamex or Gmax ones but seem to have mixed reviews, nice to know whats the real verdict. Anyone used Supersport?? Theres others knocking bout on ebay for cheap, but...

I need to dismantle the upper steering column to replace a faulty ignition switch on my '92 Golf. Following Bentley, I removed the steering wheel and column stalk switches. At this point what I'm seeing doesn't agree with Bentley. While Bentley describes a lock washer holding a spring, similar...

I haven't been driving my Rabbit much, since it has well over 160,000 miles (odometer broke two owners ago) and I don't know the condition of the timimg belt. Now, I'm 98% sure it has a blown head gasket. Question #1: How much should I expect to pay for the head gasket replacement and the timing...

Are all cracks repairable on a Jetta year 2000 VR6 AFP head? I do not have the head removed yet, but am getting coolant into the oil and exhaust in the radiator. The middle spark plug on the side towards the fire wall does have a little coolant on it. What is the best welding rod type for this...

The oil pressure light was flickering the entire time the engine was sputtering down. In the parking lot I checked the...

This is a very special car looking for the right home. One of the first A3 Golfs (chassis #606), the car has been incredibly well maintained. New brakes all the way around, a new battery within the last 12 months, regular oil changes, etc. A/C blows freezing cold, and the sunroof works...

I'm posting this in the hopes it may help others with similar intermittent starting problems. My car is a '92 1.8L Digifant Golf, but I expect the problem is common to other models. Over the past year the car ran perfectly, but became increasingly difficult to start. The engine would always...

I got a a note in the mail yesterday saying that '05-08 Jettas and '06-08 Rabbit/GTI/R32s are being recalled because of "missing or misplaced caps on certain aiming adjustments" for the headlamps. It's supposed to be a free repair and only take a few minutes at your dealer. -alan -- Alan...

I wrote here a few weeks back that my son had run my '87 Scirocco 16V over a truck brake drum on the highway. Mashed the hell out of the oil pan. They've taken that down and, amazingly, there is no visible damage to the crank shaft. And my son reported that it was running fine afterwards. He...

I have a 1997 Volkswagen Golf where I replaced a battery and now the car doesn't want to start because of the anti-theft feature prevents it from starting. I took it the car to a local Volkswagen dealer. The service department said I needed to enter a code to reprogram the car so it would...

My wife was driving our 98 Jetta GLX when steam started to spray out from under the hood. Turns out there was a leak in the upper radiator hose. But simultaneously, the power steering stopped working. I fixed the coolant leak and refilled it, but the power steering still isn't working. The...
