    Dead speedo/odometer

    The drive gear on the DIFF is likely your problem. Happens a lot on the auto trans Breaks and slips on the DIFF

    '82 Rabbit ?

    I think the last time I drove one of those the seat would not go back far enough. If you are much over 6 feet it's a little cramped.

    mk4 driver's side wheel bearing question

    Was the nut on the drive shaft tight enough? How was the hub? IDPARTS had OEM bearings for 34.00 I think a while ago

    If the car runs fine and you are not setting under boost faults I would not worry.

    New Battery time...after eight years on this one

    Battery not charging emergency

    Battery not charging emergency

    That's how much you know. Oh my, I hope that an open ground circuit to this alternator light is not this guy's problem because if it is, he is going to put an alternator on this car and be pissed. It's not just you, there are a few others here that seem to think that the only thing this can...

    Battery not charging emergency
