    12V power outlet fuse?

    Wow, all three of my outlets were dead, a quick search on TDI Club brought me to this thread. I read that there could be a penny (or something) stuck in one of the outlets. As crazy as I thought this sounded... sure enough, a penny was stuck in the outlet in my coin cubby (by the way this was...

    Time for my Jetta TDI to go

    Are there any expert VW mechanics in the Dayton, OH area? There are two VW dealerships, one has never done a DSG service and the other didn't think it needed to be done. I'm also searching the Cincinnati area. My email is finktl@verizon.net. Thanks, Tim

    Monster Mat Wear

    I just traded my '02 for an '06. My monster mats were 4 years old and I put about 80k miles on them. They looked brand new when I sold them to another TDICLUB member about 10 days ago. After he got them he sent me a kind note of appreciation as to the shape they were in.

    Lowering mirrors in reverse gear

    I have these on my '04 Nissan Quest. I don't mind the little mirrors but my wife finds them to be a distraction, so she doesn't like them. I like the reverse tilt-down on my Jetta, I also put the aspherical mirrors on the car so in my opinion, it's the best of both worlds.

    Armrest latch broken. Part number?

    VW has a service bulletin on the arm rest that slips down when you lean on it. I had mine fixed, it cost me about $75 in parts and labor. After spending that kind of money it didn't hold for very long. With all that you mentioned you may want to replace the whole unit, as you suggest.

    Armrest latch broken. Part number?

    I used a scrap please of plastic, some glue, bench grinder and little bit of patience. I just ground down the plastic using the grinder to about the same specs as the unbroken one and glued it in place. You do need to create a tab, or some way to interlock the new piece into the latch (this...

    Armrest latch broken. Part number?

    Fortuna Wolf and others, I had the same problem with my '02, I fabricated a replacement tab and glued it on. It worked just as did before and I never had another problem. Cost $0.00.

    Looked at some used jetta TDI's

    I traded my '02 TDI two weeks ago with 90k miles, the dealer gave me about $1500 over Retail Blue Book for $11,500, they sold it within a week for $13k. I was happy with what I got and they were happy with the extra $1,500 that they got.

    Memory seat not working

    I just picked up my 2006.5 Jetta TDI last weekend and had trouble with the seat memory. Thinking it was broken, I took it into the dealership to get fixed. They had my car in the service bay for 3 hours. While they were working on it, it occured to me to look here. I found the solution in...
