Recently there have been quite a few postings to this group regarding older A2s having problems with Ontario's Drive Clean emission testing program. I thought my experiences with passing this test might be of interest to others. I have a '92 Golf with the basic 1.8L 8 valve gas engine and...

What a firestorm of criticism my innocent request for T-Reg owner input created!! Haven't any other longterm, satisfied, VW owners purchased one of these vehicles?? I feel like I am out here all alone- and enjoying the hell out of it! Mike (ducking already)

Can someone please tell me what size the *rear* speakers are for a 1995 Golf III GL 4-Door? I think they are 6.5", but they might be 6.75". Thanks.

Hi, I have a question to the group. I brought my '99 Passat in the shop yesterday because the ABS and Brake light goes off and alarms for up to two minutes, then goes off. This happens maybe 2 to 4 times a week. I brought it to my local VW dealer, who I have a good report with, and it turns out...

Hi all, i have replaced my timing belt after getting some headwork done, it all runs well but the timing belt seems to be sliding off the injection pump sprocket. I made sure that the belt was tight, as I said the car runs great but I am woried that that belt will come off and ..... :-( It sits...

On the dashboard the light that shows I'm indicating remains on all the time....although dimmed. When I indicate the light comes on fully but doesn't flash at all. The indicators do flash when I use the hazard warning lights. Hope that makes sense!

How is the Turbo bypass cutoff valve related to the secondary air injection system? Why would a failed Turbo bypass valve throw a p0411 trouble code? Aren't they separate systems?

A local dealer is telling people that he is expecting MKV Golfs in March, with the GTI and an MKV Jetta following sometime between late June and November. He also says that VW is confirming that the next Passat will be released as an early 2006 model, sometime around next summer and that the 2.0T...

My drivers front turn indicator bulb went out. I pulled it out assuming it was a plain bulb behind a yellow lense, but it isn't. However, it looked okay except for some corrosion on the stem. I cleaned it up stuck it back in, and it worked. There is a hard plastic cover that goes over the back...

Please can any one tell me how to remove the heater core on a vw transporter t4 2-4 diesel van. Is the heater core the same if it has ac or not.

I have a 1982 Passat 1600CL Estate. I have just had a new head gasket and there seems little wear in the engine. No smoke from the exhaust. Still torky. BUT I am getting oil blown into the air filter from the air breather. I got the garage to clean out the chamber on the rocker cover.

RATING THE CARS European brands fared particularly poorly in the sedan segment A Bad Report Card For European Cars: BMW, VW, Mercedes Fare Poorly in Influential Listing, But Japanese Models Shine By NEAL E. BOUDETTE Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WSJ, November 9, 2004; Page D1

Now that I've had my VW a few months, 1995 Cabrio, I can affirm I'm still in love with it, and it's the best suited to me car I've ever owned--new or used. Anyhow, now that the weather's dictated I travel more with the top up than down, something got me curious: The top of the rollbar has a thin...

All of a sudden the indicator light glows slightly when I'm not indicating and stays on...without flashing...when I am indicating! The lights and flasher must be fine because when I switch on my hazards, all is well with the world! It's a C reg Jetta....HELP!!

I'm looking for the spark plug gap for a '99 Passat 1.8T. I'd appreciate it if somebody would post the answer! Thanks. B.Good

Now that the 95 Passat VR6 wagon will sit outside (newer cars in the garage), I'm considering a change oil from dino 15W40 to synthetic Mobil1 10W30 to help with starting car in winter (Virginia Washington DC suburb), temperature can dip down to low teens. Has anyone made this change to synthetic...
