After the turn signal disengages, the clicking noise persists at random intervals. Eventually, after 5 to 10 seconds later, it stops. The lights do not flash, only a clicking noise is heard from the hazard/flasher module. I replaced the hazard/flasher. The same problem persists. Any...

Please talk me out of buying a 2005 Passat VR6 wagon. I've spent years fixing two A-2 Jettas, and I've driven all the reliable, boring, ill- fitting Japanese cars on the market to replace them (I'm 6'2 with long legs). I'm close to concluding that a Passat is more reliable than these two old...

Saw one for sale today for what seemed like a fire sale price. Am thinking about it, it's making me nostalgic for my '02... and eventually I will have to get a car built in the last 20 years... appears to have been "enthusiast/tuner" owned, are there any particular mechanical areas that I...

Hello everyone The catalytic converter end toward the engine has an expansion or flex section before the flange that ties with the manifold.

For some years (2-3), the alarm system has not worked. When the head was resurfaced and put back in the car, the repair shop knocked off (broke) the alarm switch in the engine compartment. Never fixed it. I tried to start the car this evening, and the alarm went off. Had to get out of the car,...

I have a 1993 FOX 1.8 that will crank and fire but will not run. Catches but will not stay running. New battery, alternator, coil, plugs, fuel pump, etc... Any ideas? Fuel pump is delivering fuel.

Trying to get a virtual second opinion on a repair quote - a mechanic tells me that the center support bearing is gone - and that there's no aftermarket (OEM) parts available for this - the assembly has to come from the VW dealer - and that parts on this runs about $1000 - couple hunderd more...

Hello Does the 2000 V6 Passat have one or two timing chain tensioners. I heard one and I heard two. I heard one is on the front of the engine on the drivers side, the other the rear passengers side. Could someone please confirm the number and locations. I was told by the VW dealer that the...

I've just had all four brake pads changed on my Polo ('03 model). Only oddities during the change we 1. front nearside brake sensor cable had no where to be plugged in to due to a previous "taping up" of the connector (odd!). 2. brake warning light now comes on, most liekly due to...

Hello I drove my sisters 2000 VW Passat V6 to work this morning. I drove about 20 miles in 20 minutes (aver 60mph) all freeway except for a mile at the beginning and at the end, getting on and off the Freeway.

My Jetta 2001 seems to be ailing a little. Would anyone tell me if there's an underlying cause for the following symptoms? Quits on me when I come to a moderately quick stop. Other times it revs up and down for a while, I wait for the tachometer to read low and shift into "D" gear quick;...
