Does it matter what kind of ambient humidity there is in the air at the time the brake fluid is replaced? Presumably humidity and air in the fluid are important when it comes to brakes. I was trying to figure out if I should wait for dry air before having my fluid flushed. I'm not doing it...

How do you handle an unscrupulous VW service department after they have ripped you off? I've contacted my state's attorney general and they steer you to The Better Business Bureau, which has no teeth. VOA takes no responsibility for their dealers by saying they are independantly owned and they...

Having owned two Rabbits and an 85 Jetta, I'm familiar with VW's transverse engine, front wheel drive layout. What other drivetrain layouts did VW use in models sold in the US during the 1980's? -- Paul Stevens

I can tell you it's to make some kind of "compensation" in your swing to make that shoulder turn. The result is less power, more miss-hits and an even MORE...

Hi I have a 1984 GTI Rabbit WITHOUT air conditioning. I need to replace my heater core. I've searched through previous post and am still not clear on the procedure. Does the heater box need to be removed or can I just take a side panel off of the heater box to gain access to the heater core.
