I watched a show on a VW experiment on a simplified autodrive system from about 8 to 10 years ago. The system worked by forming "trains" of cars, with a driver in the vehicle in the front. Additional vehicles would then pull up behind them and turn on the system. The car then pulled itself right up...

Does anyone know if the rims on the new CC will bolt on an '05 Passat TDI? I really like the look.

When ever i accelerate or brake I get an annoying squeak coming from the shift console. This is the 2nd console, the 1st had the same problem. I've removed it 4 times, put packing foam inside it & around the 2 long tabs that slide in under the radio. It always seems to almost go away then after a...

I have a 90 Golf 8v and I'm interested in a round headlight conversion. Can anyone offer suggestions, leads, or advice? Any info will help, especially if you've done it before.

Hi Group, I recently changed my G62 coolant temp sensor due to a CEL condition. All is fixed runs great, but now the gauge does not always say at 190. It comes down a little bit maybe one notch mark. I was reading up that there was a new version of this sensor due to problems, like the ones I...

My 97 Cabrio started and the ABS and parking warning light was on, the AC switch was on but the blower wasnt running, Then the radio went off and 30 seconds later the car died and I had to pull it off the road..smells like pickles, dill I think. Won't crank completely nothing no sound no click no...

I have an 82 jetta diesel with 5 speed gearbox. It is having problems getting into 1st gear, seems to be a stuck synchro problem rather than linkage. Linkage is fine with 2 year-old bushings. I used to be able to go thru filler hole on type 1s and unstick syncro with probe and change fliud to...

I have an 89 Cabriolet. When I try to start it, it spits and sputters like it is starving for fuel. When I push on the pedal, it stalls. When I pull on the throttle under the engine, it is almost like it is backfiring in the manifold or something. It won't stay running. It stalls time after...

am considering buying an '88 Scirocco, are windshields still available? I remember I had to get one in a hurry for my '84 back in the day and 10 years ago it was real expensive to buy one new. anyone know of a junkyard that ships that has used ones? I already tried Peter L. he doesn't have...

Where might I locate a set of Euro type bumpers for a 1987 16V Scirocco? - Bill

Hi there... Last night I hopped in my usually reliable 94 Golf and turned the key, and rather than firing up, the displays on the dash (digital odometer, digital clock, all indicator lights) turned off. The car did not turn over and I didn't hear any 'click' from any relays, etc. When I took the...

My son just bought a 99 Jetta and it came with only one key. It is one of those switchblade keys. What he would really like is a regular key. He doesn't even care about the remote. The person he bought the car from said that the 99s don't have the computer chip in them and we can just get a...

Hello to all VW Golf III 1992 1.4 ltr 158,000 km Had the mechanic change the generator and timing belts. When I picked up the car all was well. Next day there was this loud squeaking noise coming from the belts.(?) The noise starts every time the car is cold. It stops after the engine warms up...

Hello everybody. Does anybody know of a good free newsreader for this group? Mi ISP will discontinur the news servers July 15, and I like to follow this group. Thanks.

OK I have a 2005 Passat and would like to have in dash gps. Anyone have any good ideas? I'd like to not spend a fortune but I also don't want any little electrical gremlins. I know VW wiring is all tied in together. Has anyone successfully accomplished this? Cecil

My "2000.5" 2.0L turbo Passat has been reliable and maintenance-cheap through 115K miles. I looked around on the Internet for clues on this airbag fault light. There are some vague suggestions about grabbing a diagnostics module and getting a code but no hands-on advice I haven't had any accidents...

The problem was the thermostat. It looked to be in excellent shape, but did not open at all, even at 212°F. Odd that it would so suddenly go completely blooie. With some trepidation I bought a 'Murray+' brand replacement (made in Israel) from Kragen for $6.99, plus $1.29 for an O-ring. Working OK...

Can anyone suggest a source for a transaxle for a '87 16V Scirocco? Used or, preferably, rebuilt. It's an AGB transmission. - Bill

Hi, An '85 Golf 8v, auto transmission. 262,000 kilometres. When accelerating or pulling up a hill, I can feel and hear a slight whomp whomp whomp in the front, most likely from the area of the left front tire. I can feel the thumping through the steering wheel. The whomp whomp is at the same...
