A2 drivers door handle by
[email protected]
The outside door handle of my A2 Jetta hardly activates the latch,
meaning I have to yank the door open. The interior latch works fine. I
recently replaced the exterior latch, and it worked somewhat better,
but it still is not right. Any suggestions?

2002 GTi O2 sensor replacement by
[email protected]
Hi there.
I have a 2002 GTi 1.8T with 49k miles. About 4 weeks ago my check
engine light came on and a diagnostic test revealed that my O2 sensor
was bad. I was told that I didn't have to replace it right away, but
should as soon as I could afford to. The part price was about $170. I
decided to...

TDI Warning light by
David
I have a 99.5 Jetta TDI. The past few days I've had one of the
warning lights come on. It's the "coil" which comes on in the Winter
to show that the diesel fuel is warming up. It goes out when the fuel
is warm enough to start the engine.
This week it has come on a couple of times while I was...

'84 GTI, Fuel Gauge Sender by
Mike
Which way does the float go on the swing arm? With the arm pointing to the
rear of the car, is the float ball on the driver or passenger side of the
car, (LHD)?
It will go in the empty tank either way. But, I think I remember, from
years ago, that it only swings freely if it's on the correct...

'84 GTI, Fuel Hoses by
Mike
I'm carefully preparing to start the car after it's been sitting for 14
years. Are the fuel lines/hoses likely to be ok, or at least good enough to
start the car. They have had only pre '93 gas in them. What has been your
experience with cars in continuous use? Have the hoses and braided...

Hi,
Have read posts on CV joints and front wheel bearings symptoms. I'm
unsure if I have a bearing or CV joint problem.

1995 Jetta own't start after removing 109 relay by
[email protected]
Hello...
I was working on my 1995 Jetta GLS today and removed the 109 and 94
relays. When I replaced them the car would crank, but would not
start. I read that the 109 relay has something to do with the fuel
injectors so I think this might be the problem, but I don't know how
to fix it. Anyone...

Interestingly, the problem appears to be the same. No spark, as measured by
my timing gun on the high voltage wire from coil...
