    I have a 97 cabrio in the USA and I’d like to install the new headlights I bought but unfortunately the headlight housing doesn’t fit past the radiator housing/ metal support bar. After researching it looks like Euro and USA cabrio/golf mk3 are different on the front end. Does anyone know a way...

    Well my car is fun to drive (even though it's not fast), but I wanna give it some sound! Since it's a 1997 I still have to get emissions tests on it so I'm pretty limited here. I was thinking of running a straight pipe (bypassing the catalytic converter and keep the muffler), but it goes to the...

    Well my Jetta has always made a weird noise under the car. I'm pretty positive it is the heat shield that is doing that. Every time I hit 3,000 RPM it makes that noise, so it's harmonic for sure. Today another noise showed up under the car, this time it makes the noise when I'm in 1st gear and...

    I have a 1997 Jetta GLX with 220,000 miles, i have a slightly rough idle, to be expected with that many miles. However when i start my car when it is cold i have to rev it (just keep it above normal idle rpm) for awhile or it will stall. Once it is warm it is ok. I replaced spark plugs and...

    I'm having issues with my 1997 VW Jetta GL. Lately, whenever it has rained or snowed, the vehicle won't start. The engine cranks but won't fire. I've had a tune-up done and I've had the terminals on the computer cleaned and after that it worked for about a week. It rained again last night and...

    sup everyone! I have a little issue. I've got a 1997 Golf that I bought about a year ago. It was running ok but the people that had it before me didn't take care of it properly. With me just now getting into cars I failed to see how bad of shape the car was really in. Now it stopped working. The...

    Hello, How do I know if my car originally came with an alarm remote (for activating/deactivating the alarm)? It is a 1997 VW Golf Jazz edition. It has a little red blinky light next to the lock on the drivers side and chirps when I lock the car with the key. Should I have a remote? If so...

    I was wondering if there was anyone that could help me out with some questions regarding my '07 cabrio. I have a '97 cabrio. I'm looking to replace my seats as they are seriously worn. I got the car as a teenager and didn't take great care of them. I love the car and want to keep it for as...

    Hi, Anyone out there have a diagram for which relays go where in the '97 Jetta GL 2.0L? It's a long story of how AAA left my car worse than when I called them, but basically my horn doesn't work (and I'd rather not deal with AAA again). I can pull the relay from the hazard lights and put it...

    Hello, I'm hoping for suggestions on what could be wrong with my 1997 VW Golf. It has the 2.0 gasoline 4 cylinder engine. The car stalled out while I was exiting off the freeway at about 40mph and will not restart, even weeks after. The car turns over fine just like it always has and it has...
