I've encountered my first 'major' problem with the 337. I was driving down the road the other day and my temperature warning light came on and my temperature gauge was almost pegged. I pulled over, shut the car off and let it sit for a few. Once the temp came down below half, I started to drive...

90 Golf 8v 1.8 The motor has a ticking problem that I was hoping I could get some advice about. Also, lately the car has been shuddering a bit at idle. It never had a really steady idle, but lately the car seems to be not running as smoothly at idle. Otherwise, the car runs great.

Hi there! Unfortunately, I don't have a manual for my 2000 Jetta GL, 2.0 Manual - so I have to ask you all this quick question.

My daughter called to say that her 2003 1.8T Jetta makes a squeaking or creaking sound when going over bumps. Naturally, it just went out of warranty. Any idea as to what is "most likely," on an 03 Jetta, eg, front stabilizer bushings or balljoint? Thanks, Bill
