    Hi, I'm having a bit of an issue with my '94 Golf with the 1.9 turbo diesel (not TDI) engine. It's started a trend of the oil light and buzzer going off after driving for a while, presumably once the oil gets hot. It usually happens only at high speeds once warmed up. Last time I was driving...

    I'm new to VWs. Just purchased 2001 Golf GLS 1.8T, auto, 162,000 miles. Nice condition, runs great for twenty or so miles, then the oil pressure light starts flashing. Stop engine, restart, runs great for some more miles (haven't gone far enough to check whether it comes back on or not), but...

    Hello everyone. I am on my second Passat. We loved the first, but it became a money pit once the oil problems started and VW of said that it was outside the milage limit for the recall. I now have an 03' Passat GLX 2.8L V6 (Purchased March '11). It was super awesome for about the first month...

    :?: Recently changed my lube and filter on my '08 R32. Used full synthetic Castrol and filled it to the middle of the marks on the dipstick. Started it up and it ran fine for about a week and a half then got a warning on my heads up display for Check Oil Level. I checked the oil level and it...

    I bought a 1992 golf Mk2 Gti just before xmas. I bought it aware that it needed a front crankshaft end seal. I fitted the crankshaft end seal and then it started blowing oil out of the dipstick.. I diagnosed the fault as something to do with the breathing system so removed the top breather pipe...

    I am in need of desperate help. The other day when driving my car it started to lose oil rapidly, about 1 qt every 12-20 seconds until all the oil was gone. I had to drive it and have it looked at and the place that i took it said it was the oil pressure sending unit (a little plug). However, i...
