I have read the procedure for tightening the 12mm stretch to yield head bolts in the Haynes and Bentley manuals. Both give a base torque, the instruct that an additional turn of 180 be given to the bolts. Man, I could manage a 90, but not 180. I'm used to head bolt torques of 105-120 on US V8s,...

Hello All, As the subject line says, I have a 2000 Jetta GL - apparently with a coolant leak. It's not a bad one, I've had the coolant level low alert come on twice and both times I put some purified water in (about 1 pint) and it didn't come back for about a month and a half. The problem, of...

Hello all, About a week ago my daughter was driving our 2000 Jetta that has the VR6 engine (about 50k miles). The serpentine belt broke/came off. She saw a battery warning lamp come on but did not see the temp guage move past the mid range. The car was towed and the belt replaced along with the...

I have this "3-in-one Professional" brand silicone spray lubricant. I have not quite figured out, is this a conductor or an insulator of electricity? I know it can be used to protect and coat plastic/rubber parts. But should I avoid getting the lubricant on metal contact points? Will it insulate...

I am trying to get this Ross Tech vag com thing to work with my laptop as a code scanner. I am using it with a 2000 New Beetle. It says I have to test it before I can use it, and when I try to test it, all I get is an error message "interface not found". Or, it locks up with the "hourglass"...

Why cant I buy a 2006 passat turbo diesel wagon with a 5 speed manual in the USA (Texas) ? Why is VW such a stupid company ? I drove one of these all over Europe a couple of years ago (with the 1.9L) and loved it ! Got 35 mpg at 120 mph on the autobahn. Lynn

I'm at that funny stage when I'm considering trading my 2004 1.8 Passat. 44,000 miles 5 speed. I may buy a Hybrid. What are the long term costs of keep the Passat? I've read that repairs as they age can be annoying and expensive. Thanks in advance. David

What are the symptoms of a blown glow plug in a TDI engine? (1999.5 Golf TDI, 1.9L 90Hp) - Should I see the glow plug light coming on while driving, or flashing? (does neither) My glowing period in these really cold winter days is getting to be (seems like) close to 20 seconds, and I leave the car...

I have a 2000 New Beetle TDi manual, and generally it has behaved rather well. I purchased this vehicle with about 110k miles, and have added 10000 miles in just about a year. I am considering the purchase of a second TDi - this one is a 2000 Jetta GL TDi. It has 212000 miles, with a single...

I am driving a 1992 Diesel Golf and have often wondered why my fuel consumption is worse than the 1985 I drove previously (~10%). It finally dawned on me that it must be in the tranmission gear ratios. I compared the transmission codes and found that they are different. However, the information...

I want to remove the rear stud axle weel nut on a New Jetta 2000. What is the right tool for that. I guess this is a 12 point 30 mm box. Is that true? Thanks!

My son drove my Golf into a ditch today. There was no real damage except from the tow truck. His chain bent up a panel and he ripped off a plastic shield under the engine. There is a plastic part that attaches to the bottom the front bumper. Another plastic part attaches to that plastic part and...
