I checked fuses 5,16,24 in the cabin and S164 and S180 under the hood and they seem to be fine. DanG's check to make sure the coolings fans are running is good. At this point is there any reason to suspect the Fan Control Module? Cheers

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can give me some insight into my recent AC issues. My AC has been working fine, then after accelerating hard on an on-ramp to the interstate my AC stopped working. The light on the console comes on but the clutch is not engaging, I have had no issues in the past the...

Hi all, Thank you for all your insight and assistance. I've had some successes, some failures, and some insights. Successes, I think I replaced every bushing in the shifter assembly, including the ones on the shifter tower in the tranny, and by in large it now shifts much better. Failures -...

Hi all, just for closure's sake this is how things have wrapped up. I replaced the shifter tower bushings and replaced the tranny fluid. The tranny fluid was last replaced at 100K, so about 180K ago. The old tower bearings looked fine but I saw no notable lubricant on them. Since I had already...

So what have been most people's solutions to poorly behaved sunroofs?

Hi all, When my headliner was replaced the folks messed up a few things about my sunroof. Before when I pushed the sun shield back, it stopped before it went all the way in, now it slides all the back (past the little grab handle). What did they fail to reconnect when they reupholstered the sun...

Hi all, I did some work on my sunroof and now the sunroof demons have been angered (2003 MK4 wagon demons). My controls are wonky and even after taking the controller apart and cleaning the contacts it still has a mind of its own. Also found out that someone has stripped the manual gear crank on...

I'm going to replace the gaskets inside the shifter tower and see if that helps.. I've looked for some how to links but haven't found any that are particularly good. If anyone has a good link to a how to. It would be appreciated. Cheers

It was tight.

Hi folks, Occasionally my 2003 manual 5spd won't go into reverse, I've been replacing bushing and while I love the improved shifting feel, it happened again yesterday. It just would not go into reverse. so I pushef the car backward in neutral and now it's fine again... for now... would worn...

Thanks Douglas, are any of these ones that can be replaced with the transmission in the car or is dropping the tyranny required. So yesterday I could not get the tyranny into reverse, rolled back few feet and it was fine. any help in tracking down the source of the issue is appreciated.

Hi folks, Last year I had my headliner replaced and since then I have had a rattle in the sunroof. I'm pulling the headliner to fix the leaking rear sunroof lines and would like to take care of this rattle too. The rattle is very metallic and sounds like a thin sheet of metal, rattles are every...

Yep, mounts replaced, shifter properly aligned with alignment tool

The only time it sticks in reverse is when I have the wheels turned at a strong angle, any thoughts on that?

Hi folks, I'm pretty sure the rear drains on my sunroof are clogged and I'm getting some leaking of water on the C pillar after it rains. Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to clean the rear drains from the sunroof side? I tried from under the rear bumpers and got pretty far up into...

Hi folks, I had a car parked on an uneven surface last night (driver side lower and passenger), it rained, and when I opened the passenger side door there was a good amount of water between the door and the body of the car. The carpet was not wet but I doubt there should be that much water...

Hi folks, I'm having trouble finding info on a replacement bushing for the shifter actuator on the transmission, it's the one that looks very basic and has a large horizontal bolt anchoring in a metal bracket with one end attached to the shifter cable and the other end connects to the slider...

Anyone have any experience with the IDparts CV's?

Hi all, I need a recommendation for new CV axles. A mixup a few years ago and I wound up with O'Riley's CV joints which always had a vibration at higher RPMs and have now, about 4 years later - crapped out. My 03 Wagen is modded to about 250lbs torque and lifted, so I'm looking for a...
