Have a 02 New Beetle Radio that does nothing but flash. Does anyone know how I can get this unit turned off. What fuse number or where it is located, until I can get to a dealer to get it fixed. Thanks.

I have an '87 Golf and recently it has started to leak coolant. Iam pretty sure it is not the rad and can see that it drips off the bottom of the (not sure) lower unit with a belt on it. I dnt think its a hose I ve felt below it and its dry I would say its from the engine but im not sureŠIs this...

Deer won! She wacked my drivers side mirror off!!! I am very lucky that's all the damage I have. The whole assembly is gone. The wires are hanging and the 'solid' part of the assembly that is directly attached to the door. I need Cyber Green, production date 3/00. A new one is $250.00...

Ihave this funny noise sort of a whistly whine quite high pitched seems to be from the front passenger side of the car belt drive side It kicks in around 2700 revs and usually dissapears around 3200 although lately it just gets quieter but is still there after 3200 Could this be from the water pump...

Hi gang I have a 98 Golf 2.0L Manual trans. Over the last few months, I have noticed when the AC is on, and I depress the clutch when coming to a stop, the RPM's drop to about 250-300, and she wants to stall, just for a second or two, and then she recovers. I replaced the fuel filter on the...

IMPORTANT WARNING TO VW OWNERS WITH POWER WINDOWS!!! I have a 2000 Jetta 4dr with power windows. A month ago I woke to find that all my windows were open. My car had been thoroughly rifled through and anything of value stolen, however the doors were still locked and the alarm was armed. The trunk...

The grinding /rubbing noise is rhythmic but varies in intensity. Appears to come from the front middle. Grind grind grind with the rotation of the tires. If I slightly turn to the left the noise goes away - turn back to straight and it comes back. Does not appear to correspond with engine rpm, only...

Don't know whether anyone can help me out here. I have just bought a new golf gt tdi dsg - nice car. I am a little puzzled though. The stamp at the front of the service book identifies the car as a Golf 2.0 Sport. Now I know that the Sport doesn't come with a 2ltr engine, I am supposed to have...

My '99 NB started showing the spoiler deployment icon even if it were down.. then, at random, it will turn itself off. Any idea where the sensor is or what could be causing this?

The A2 always uses 20w50 oil after "X" number of miles. In my case, that's been anything after 90,000 miles. I'm up to 250,000 miles now. Never a problem starting in winter, although it is easier with Syn oil (20w50 of course). I live in Michigan, which is roughly the same weather at Toronto,...

Hi Guys, I have a similar problem on my Ford Galaxy, uses the same Hella/VW part. Mine has R1 in and exploded state and I can't read the resistor value because of this. R1 was under a blob of white silicone rubber near the connector plug. Is anyone able to supply me with the value of this...

Hi ppl...I placed a deposit on a 99 Golf TDI today. I have a Ford F350 Truck, also a diesel, & the valve train is rather noisy, but sounds just like all the other F-Series diesels i've heard, so i'm assuming it's normal. The TDI Golf i purchased today (waiting on title to finalize the deal) is the...

I have a 90 wv jetta and all the outdoor lights work fine when I have my headlights off, but when I turn my headlights on .... my right front and right rear blinkers do not work at all. It started around a month ago when I had a light bulb changed for my right tail light.

I hardly ever post - I just search for help I need, solve my problem, and move on. Well, I figured I'd follow-up this time. My wife's 97 Cabrio had a very slow coolant leak for awhile, with no visible signs of it leaking. It finally got worse until one day it started a fast drip onto the driveway...

Can the standard stereo in a 2005 Passat GL play MP3's burned to a cd? -- Cecil Hayden Gravity doesn't exist, the earth sucks.

My wife's 96 cabrio tends to have trouble starting from cold when it's wet outside. I checked and it does get spark. The spark is the same (strength/color) as when it's dry (I checked a few days later when it wasn't wet outside). Occasionally, and sometimes when this wet-starting problem shows...

Hey all, Does anyone know how to replace the shift lever stop on an A2 GTI? It's not obvious by looking... TIA, - Mark
