    I was just wondering what problems are common with ‘16 Jettas once they get to 100k+ miles. I’ve tried to keep up on maintenance as much as I can, but around the time it hit 100k I started to notice some problems that were new. Rough idling with rev jumps, hard knock when shifting from park or...

    Still some parts left on this clean title 2001 Jetta Wolfsburg 1.8T. It has a new timing belt and top end but would not run after the work was done; has cyl compression. (106k mileage) I bought it and parted it out for my '02 Jetta TDI which had been hit in the driver front. I removed the hood...

    Alright so I've been trying to research these forums for an answer and haven't found any that help pinpoint my problem. I own a 2003 VW Jetta 1.8T GL Model.

    Hi, Couple months ago I had the "major" vacuum line replaced by the stealership and had the oil pan dropped, new screen, sludge cleaned out. Just recently I got a P0171 code. Took in into my local shop, they checked all the hosing, cleaned the sensor connection for the MAF and reset the...

    I have a high pitch noise coming from my 01 1.8T jetta engine area. My gel-cell battery died after a few months of installing it.

    Hey all, I just replaced the timing belt and water pump on my 1.8t Jetta, after reassembling the car, its hard to start and backfires out the exhaust. I'm assuming the crank is off by a tooth, any other suggestions before I take it all apart again? Any simple solutions that would avoid taking...

    I can afford around a $9000 car. I like the idea of a TDI, good gas mileage,long lasting etc. Most of the cars that are in the price range have 100k+ miles. My question is, do I go with a TDI with 130k miles or a similar gas maybe turbo model with 60 or 70k? I'm located in Tampa Florida, and...
