A2 Steering Wheel by
Tony Bad
I was trying to swap wheels from my parked 86 Jetta into my 91 Jetta, but found
there is a different hub size (91 is larger).
Anyone know which year A2's (or even other years) will work easily without any
adapter?
The plastic on my 91's wheel seems to have gotten rigid, and on cold days, the
horn...

"Anti-Rattle" Springs by
Scooter
Just installed new calipers, pads, rotors on my 90 Jetta GL. The pads
came with "anti-rattle" springs (little strips of brass with bent tabs
on them). I'm fairly new to VW's, and I've never seen this things
before. Seems simple enough, but where the heck to they go?!?
I'd like to intall them,...

96 Jetta GLX tire pressure and new tires questions by
[email protected]
Can anybody tell me the correct tire pressure for this vehicle? I know
it varies depending on load. The car has 205/50R15 tires and the
placard is missing from the inside of the gas tank door where it used
to be because the car was in an accident and the body shop replaced the
door.
This tire size...

HA HA!! - Rabbit #2 Down!!! by
Fred Mann
You may remember me from such posts as "Intermittent Spark in 1979 Rabbit",
from earlier this week ...
Well now my "working" Rabbit - an 83 GTI - is also out of commission.
Interestingly, the problem appears to be the same. No spark, as measured by
my timing gun on the high voltage wire from coil...

Passat TDI Wagon by
[email protected]
I have read a few articles about the TDI and I test drove it yesterday.
I am interested in it but the lag below 1900 RPMs was very concerning.
Are there any "simple" modifications that can be made to the car to
improve that 0-20mph lag? By simple I mean adding or modifying the
chip or a minor...

Aerotwin windshield wipers by

Hi
I have a 2004 Passat equipped with the new "Aerotwin" windshield wipers
from Bosch. After few months of use they wend bad and dont work well at
all - instead of cleaning the windshield they actually make it worse,
leaving smeared traces all over. I heard lots of other "Aerotwin" users
have...

John Smallberries
The issue has been going on for a while (smelly air, moisture blowing
into the cabin, etc...) for a few days. This morning, the AC started
to make a clicking sound that went away when I turned it off. I turned
it back on and heard a belt squeal for a few seconds, then the car
stalled.
Now, the car...

VR6 water pump by

after 136,000 miles, my '95 Passat decided to croak it's water
pump...The belt and tensioner were replaced at 100,000 miles
(tensioner died and ruined the belt), so with only 36 K on them I'd
like to re-use them, unless I am being too cheap...

Golf ESP warning light - any known issues? by
[email protected]
Strange, but the brake light on our '03 Passat has been sticking also,
we only notice it after we have parked it for the evening. And the ESP
light has been coming on while driving, usually after we've been
driving for a 1/2 hour and doesn't go out until we turn off the
ignition.
It goes to the...

This could possibly be the most obscure question pertaining to this
group to-date.
Does anyone know what the angle (measured in degrees) of the rear seat-

A ridiculous diagram of the question might go something like this:

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:

I am getting ready to convert my 84' Jetta 1.7l(CIS) to diesel. I live
in the middle of Chevy/Ford country where there are no pre-2000 VW's at
all(even less-so of diesels). I am going to have to do the conversion in

1991 Jetta CA model is different by

I just saw a California 1991 8V gas model for the first time here in Chicago.
Totally odd stuff on the engine, at least to me:
Different fuel injector wiring, with maybe individual wiring for each injector.
Different throttle body switches and two stop screws for the levers.
Engine check light. I...
