    Help... we need some advice

    Window fell into door - clips had been replaced ..

    My driver's side window fell into the door this morning (2000 Jetta TDI). I tried to lower it yesterday, and it was stuck shut (probably a little ice). Heard the motor whine and shut off, but the window didn't lower. This morning, the window simply dropped into the door without any resistance...

    Anything to watch out for on a 2000 Jetta GL TDI?

    Check that the window clips have been replaced with the metal clad ones - when the plastic ones break, the window falls into the door. If they haven't, I think they are 'covered' for 7 years. Check that the brake light switch has been replaced per the recall. Relay 109 was problematic for...

    Check Temp II, has anyone installed this?

    I got the radio out by using a different home made tool than others. I took the metal support out from a pendaflex hanging folder and used the ends to push into the removal slots. I couldn't remove it with the cut up credit card "tool" - the card pieces flexed too much .

    Broken Mirror Switch

    I replaced mine (2000 Jetta) without removing the door panel. I pried it out carefully with a thin flat blade screwdriver while pushing the switch body around to help release the snap. It is a little risky, though, because if you damage the portion of the door panel the switch fits into, it...

    Green indicator on Euro switch

    It is probably fine. The LED for the rear fogs isn't installed in the switch - there is an icon in the cluster that (may) light up when the rear fogs are switch on. rear fog install: http://www.geocities.com/bora20_ca/rear_fog_install.html euroswitch led mod: http://irc.junglist.org/fogmod/...

    Clutch Replacement Advice needed - 2K Jetta TDI

    Redtdi: The $350 is labor only (I have all the parts, including the bolts). The local shop said it is about a 4 hour job for them, and they have done lots of late model Jettas. The dealer quoted the job at 8 hours (at $70/hour). Thx for the info from the web page. HermTDI: Will do.
