I have a 1982 Westfalia air-cooled. The OXS light came on the other evening so I'm thinking of replacing the oxygen sensor. Does anyone out there in VW land know where the oxygen sensor is located on the engine? and any tips on replacing it? Thank you...:o

Thanks, Racer. I applied liquid wrench for about 20 minutes prior an gently tapped them out with no problem.

Hello: I'm about to replace the glow plugs on my 2006 Jetta (455,000kms). I'm wondering if you would know of the likelihood of the ceramic plug part breaking off the main body of the plug and remaining stuck in the cylinder head? Also, any tips? Thanks!

Thanks, Bear's Fan. Much appreciated...

My 2006 Jetta TDi has a burnt out light bulb which I believe is the driving light. It's the off-centered little bulb on the light housing assembly next to the high beam assembly on the driver's side. The air filter housing is right behind the access area of the light assembly. Easy enough to...

Thanks, TDI Smile: Are you familiar with how to get that little guy out. The housing for the light is in quite a tight spot right in front of the air filter housing. There is, what I can see, two wires connected to the bulb holder and I was wondering if you just pull it out or twist etc., etc.

Well, since my original post in June of 2007, my VW Jetta TDi now has 412,540 kilometers. What a car!

Friends: my heater fan has developed a squeak and I would like to remove it and replace it. Is this a difficult job? And has anyone posted instructions? Thanks, folks...

Front and Rear Rotor and Brake Replacement Hey, thank you so much. Excellent sites. I'm on my way to buy a caliper tool. By the way, VW wants over $600.00 to do the fronts. Kevin

Hello, TDi'ers: I'm preparing to replace the front discs and rotors on my 2006 Jetta (279,000 kilometers). I have replaced drum brakes before but never discs. So I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind... 1. Is this something that's reasonably doable for a meticulous back yard...

In deed, it did help. Thanks! Vroooooomm

I have a 2006 Jetta TDi. Best car I have ever had. No problems and I have 218,000 kms on it. However, I need to change the battery on my key. Does anyone know how to get that fella apart. Thanks...

From the sounds of it, I think its a wheel bearing. I just had one replaced on my 2006 Jetta TDi. I have 199,000 km on my car and I started to hear this slight growling noise and I could feel it on the gas peddle and mostly at highway speeds. Anyway, I had it replaced today and everything is...

Oil Requirements - 2006 Jetta TDi Thank you for posting this article. With regard to the HTHS I was wondering if the Amsoil European Blend is within the required specifications: It has an HTHS of 3.7. I'm not sure if the number needs to be higher or lower. Thanks... Kevin:confused:

Dear Colleagues: I know that this isn't a VW TDi question but I thought I would pose the question in the hopes that someone is familar with Mercedes diesels. I currently own a 2006 VW TDi. I'm thinking of buying a 1986 190D for a second car. It has 70,000 kilometers on it and the guy wants...

Dead Cigarette Lighter Greetings. I have new 2006 1/2 Special Edition Jetta TDi. I have my radar detector plugged into my ciagarette lighter and my cell phone recharger plugged into the 12 V power supply on the consel. Well yesterday they both went dead. I checked the fuse (number 24, I...

2006 Jetta OIl Hey, thanks, Byron. I've been using Amsoil for a few years in my 2002 Golf TDi. I used the series 3000 whichis actually their best oil but the VW manual is very expeicit about the 5W 40 so I was intending on using Amsoil's European blend which does have the VW 505...

Congrats on your new Special Edition. I certainly like mine and I hope it serves me as well as my 2002 Golf TDi. I would have kept my 02 Golf but I was quite impressed with the additional options and interior features of the 06 Specila Editions. I'm also told that VW won't be coming out with...
