    2000 Jetta won't even crank

    Test the battery - grab your handy-dandy multimeter and touch one lead to the positive terminal and the other lead to the ground (body, engine, etc.). If its below 12V, batter may be the culprit. If the battery is good, have someone in the car while your head is under the hood. Have them turn...

    Code 00553 and surging...not the headache I need.

    Any thoughts? I put di-electric grease on the prongs and the symptom is still there. Probably going to peel back the protective plastic on the wires today to see if the power supply wire or any others are damaged/corroded, etc. I just find it wired that this is happening right after I took the...

    What b the problem ?

    I have something similar, but it's throwing a code for intermittent MAF grounding out 05533. Are you getting any codes? Sometimes mine does it mid drive, after I decelerate and then try to re-accelerate. M

    Stolen 2010 wagon out of my garage

    Change the keys/locks on the car now. If you had house keys or any other keys on it, change those locks too. Chances are they copied your keys while they had it. May be staging a return.

    So I finally rolled 250K miles on ol' Green this week. I also took the time last weekend to replace the bad EGR. The original had officially given up and was puking oil like crazy. I grabbed a cheap-o race pipe device and put it on so that I could stem the oil leak. While I was there, I...

    Parting out- 03 Jetta TDI 5spd rollover

    I'm interested in the rear calipers if they are available...Thanks!

    I killed it D@**#T! (FS or Parts: 2001 Jetta TDI, 5SP, 278K)

    I didn't see them listed, so I figured I would ask (unless I overlooked them)...do you have the rear calipers for sale? If so, how much? I could consider rebuilding them to replace mine of similar mileage.
