Years ago, the JC Whitney catalog listed a 5 gallon aux fuel tank that installed in place of the spare tire on the Rabbit. I can't find it on the JC Whitney website. Does anyone know if the tank is still made, and who carries it? -- Paul Stevens

I need the little plastic valve that dumps excess boost. It's about $45 at the dealer. I'd like to get one that will last a little longer, but I dont' want to spend $150. Any alternatives? Or, is there a better deal on the OE? -- - - Rex Burkheimer Fort Worth TX

Hey all, I need to replace my suspension. I want something that's going to keep the ride as stock as possible. Is anyone familiar with KYB? I really would appreciate any feedback/advice on this! Thanks,

Hello, The timing belt on my 98 Audi A4 just failed, at about 50 MPH. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet (Scared! They said possibly from $1000 to $4500 depending). Also contemplating doing the job on my own. I have the time, and the car can be out of commission for a few weeks. Anyone else...

Hi, I have a 2001 VW GOLF GLE 2.0L. I will be in any gear driving along and it will lose power, like it was missing, and it will sorta shake the car. It also idles roughly. What could it be? I only have 75000 K’s on it and i have had nothing but problems. Spark plugs? clutch? -- Posted using the...

My dad has a 93 fox wolfsburg edition. It will not start. He replaced the coil, and it ran at an idle for a few minutes then cut out. When he touched the coil it was very hot, and thinks something may have blown it. Can anyone information give me any information on what could cause this?

I just launched a VW Problems website: http://www.volkswagenlemonlaw.com dedicated to gathering and presenting information on VW airbags deploying, Touareg throttle hesitation and other Volkswagen problems. If you have any suggestions for any other problems or information that you'd like to see...

Looking for replacement cubby/box that goes over the single din radio in 2001 GTI. I have ipod now and thought I would remove my cd player in favor of regaining some much needed storage. Anyone got one laying around they want to sell? Or know any online retailers that would carry such a thing?...

I need a pressure fuel pump for a 1987 GLI 16V with CIS-E. Used is good, local to me also good. Anyone in Fort Worth or Dallas have one to sell? -- - - Rex Burkheimer Fort Worth TX

My car has the VW Premieum Sound System with the tape deck with cd changer controls. Thinking of chaning the deck but I was told by the local stereo shop the stock amp will need to be disconnected. so I was wondering what others have done. do you just remove the stock amp and put in your own...

My car is a 1988 VW (Rabbit) Cabriolet Convertible. It has the cheapest and flimsiest black plastic drip tray I have ever seen. I am talking about the tray under the hood, just forward of the windshield. I think it is intended to direct rain water away from the windshield wiper motor and...

Hi All. I have a 98 cabrio that has an exhaust leak coming from in front of the converter. Unfortunatley I cannot see where the leak is due to the heatshield. What I would like to know, is if there is a flex coupling between the downpipe and the converter, or does the coverter and downpipe bolt...

I had my 96 Jetta converted from a Auto to a 5 Speed. They removed the TCM & Jumped the Netural Safty switch. Now I've gotten it back and the Check Engine Light is on. This shop did not have the VAG or VW software. They hooked a Snap-On ODB2 machine to it and it gives off the fault code for the...

Found out why my 84 Scirocco's AT was not upshifting correctly: my throttle valve cable stretched. Lovely. How much would one of those set me back and where can I get one? -- Mauricio raub-kudria-com (if you need to email me, use this address =)

I am having a problem with my 98' Jetta GLX VR6 electronics. I just purchased the car 2 days ago and yesterday my fuel quantity gauge and my coolant temp. gauge stopped working on me. My left instrument panel back light doesn't work either, I am not sure if the two problems are related or not? ...

Dear NG: It's almost time to get some 185-14/60 rubber for the new (used) Audi rims that will (modestly) upgrade my 'Rocco. Perusing TireRackdotcom, I have settled on the Yokohama HS4. I know the Dunlop D60-A2 (now superseded I think) has been mentioned frequently here, but it got poor reviews...

OK, I don't have the manual transmission but still, this car is a blast ! I love the ride of my Passat but why can't I burn rubber? Not enough horsepower?
