Don't have the Bentley for the '08 yet, and the dealer is on the other side o' town, and this seems simple enough, yet... They seem to spray awfully low. Only really wet the lower 1/3 to 1/2 of the windshield. Looks like a socket head hex adjuster screw so I get out the hex key set and WT? ...

Just wondering if it actually has one or something like it to record events in the case of a crash.

I bought a 2000 TDi beetle with 113,000 miles on it about 5 months ago. First time I've owned a diesel, but I've owned lots of gas turbo vehicles in the past. Two months ago, I noticed that under load there was black smoke out of the exhaust. MY immediate fear was that the turbo was on its last...

The center brake light went out on my 2006 Jetta and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same problem/dealt with getting it fixed. Anyone know if it is a simple bulb assembly or something more complex that I have to see the dealer for? Tried getting roof pannel/strip off to get to the...

It is common problem? Any ideas? Best George

Hi all, I have a 91 golf gl. I recently replaced her exhaust with the dual downpipe system and she was a dream to drive for about a month. Recently, however, she has begun hesitating on accelerations from idle and she sounds like an old truck when accelerating (I can hear the individual cylinder...

Hi guys. I'd like to find a complete instrument cluster for my Rabbit Convertible. Let me know what you've got, and we'll go from there. Obviously other years, models will likely work. Thanks!

About a month or two after the replacement, however, she's developed a hesitation when accelerating from idle and what sounds like...

Hi I am in the market for a used Golf. Are there any years to avoid, any that stand out? From 1999 to present, 3rd or 4th generation Golfs

Hello again .... I have a new problem with my daughter's 96 Jetta. She returned last evening from school and the car sat for 1.5 hours until she tried to start it up again. When she tried, it would start and immediately die - like it would no hold an idle. She tried several times to start it to...

I was able to get the AMP connector off the cold start valve with a tiny screwdriver. But others are not so easy. When I tried to get the connector off the thermo time switch using only my fingers, rotten plastic cracked away, leaving the wire clip hanging. And I don't have a clue how to get...
