    Had my golfmk5 1.9tdi pd105 for a few years. Has been mapped stage 1. Been stood for just about a year. I believe water has gone down my fuse box and onto my obd socket (white erosion).It would start and cut off after a second as if it was the immobiliser. Now not starting what so ever but...

    Just purchased a 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit convertible (102k miles, 3rd owner), originally wanted an 80's Mercedes 380sl but parts are expensive, not really a commuter car, and I have no idea what I'm doing. I thought the Rabbit would be the perfect car for me to not only commute (8 miles round...

    My VW Golf mk 4 has been cranking from time to time for the last 2 or 3 years, or perhaps a little bit more. It's not something that always happen and I believe that it's specially prone to do it when the weather is cold or specially humid. However, this winter —which has been specially bad with...

    03 MK4 GTI 1.8T I'm just having a lot of electrical problems. Any help would be so awesome! Randomly I will get a check engine light, it reads that my Timing Belt is out of Timing, also says stuff about wiring problems. Occasionally my cruise control will not work The Traction Warning light...

    Sometimes when I would start my mk3 jetta the brake light would be half illuminated. The lights, wipers, and blower won't work. I would shut it off and turn it back on and the issue goes away. Lately, it started randomly doing it while driving. Everything but the engine stops working. I pull...

    I have a 2002 gti 337 with heated leather seats (manual controls). The previous owner smoked a lot, and I'd like to swap them out. A friend of mine is offloading a set of 2002 Jetta electric/heated leather seats. 1) Will they fit in a 2 door gti? 2) If the heating harness is there, is the...

    Hi All, I have a 99 Cabrio Manual Trans (older model from that year) and have recently had a problem with lights, AC Fan and wiper suddenly going out on me. Then I noticed it is also the fan! They do work when the engine is NOT turned over and I just switch the key clockwise and hold it. They...

    Sometimes I get a spark and sometimes not, on 1991 VW Jetta. Engine turns over very well, but sometimes it cranks and sometimes not. Sometimes it runs well and sometimes it stalls out. I was thinking about changing the ignition module first. Any thoughts?

    Hello all, I recently discovered a bad bearing in my generator which threw off the axis of rotation and started to bring the generator pulley into the generator casing. literally drilling through my generator. very scary, i know. My question is how difficult is it to convert to an alternator...

    Hi there fellow VW enthusiasts! I recently acquired a pretty nice 2000 GTI with a tuned and souped up VR6. I bought it knowing that it had a battery drain problem, but had no clue as to what was going on. I tried pulling fuses and checking relays and checking for lights that were still on, but...

    Ok, here is the deal, after the car threw me a p0103 and p1580 on an OBDII scanner, I replaced the MAF, Throttle Body( not adapted), and the forward 02 sensor for good measure. the idle is at 1400 for a second then drops down to 900 and climbs back up to 1400 again. over and over this happens...

    I have a very strange problem and I was hoping someone could help me figure out what it is. I have a 2007 polo 1.9Tdi and something odd is going on with the electronics. There are a number of things happening but I think these are all symptoms of one main problem. So lets go through them … •...

    Can't get my 1998 VW Golf started. The digital display of my car's mileage and the time of day reads perfectly as it always does when the car isn't running. I turn the ignition and get nothing whatsoever from the engine. However, the gauges move slightly and some display indicators flash...

    Hey everyone. I recently purchased 2 pairs of Alpine SPS-600C speakers to install in my '04 Golf. Here's the link to the speakers: Alpine SPS-600C Type-S 6-3/4" component speaker system — fits in 6-1/2" or 6-3/4" openings at Crutchfield.com. Everything else in the audio system is the stock...

    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...

    I recently bought a 98 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition. I had to replace the starter switch and the battery. I am just wondering if its just my Jetta but even when the car is off the radio can be turned on. Does this happen on everyones Jetta or is it just mine?

    Please help! I was driving the car and went into a business for about an hour and a half, when I came out the car wouldn't start. I noticed the headlights were in the on position. When i turned them off, the gauges went haywire and then there was a clicking noise coming from the area behind the...
