Clean your battery terminals. Clean the connections, to your starter.

When VW stops making crap cars, with plastic intake manifolds, and plastic water pumps (etc., etc.) I might buy a newer model than my now (off the road) 2002 Jetta Wagon. I did buy a '12 GTI (73k original miles) to replace the TDI Jetta, and it is a piece of crap. I'm going to fix the Jetta...

Been here, since 2005. -Had a '97 B4 sedan, at the time.

Thanks for that information!

I've got to get it up, on a Lift. I can't see much of anything, laying on the ground. It's looking like I will have to take it to a shop, since the pile of spaghetti under the hood, is a puzzle, to me.

I'm trying to get my 2004 Audi TT Quattro (1.8 20v. 225Hp) TT to pass NYS inspection. My Cats, and Secondary Air Injection, reads as 'failed, or incomplete', in Vag-Com. Codes thrown, are: 11705 P1297 Pressure drop between Turbo, and Throttle valve (Check D.V.!) 16683 PO299 Boost pressure...

I'm going to put a new thermostat in the car, and see what happens. I've got to find time, and good weather, to scrutinize the Turbo.

I was beating on the car a bit, today. It is definitely a boost leak. My radiator remains cold, and I could hear the coolant boiling when I raised the hood. :-( Interestingly, the temp gauge was right in the middle. I've got to crawl back under there with a strong light, to see what is going on...

When I step on the pedal hard, I hear a noise that sounds exactly like a boost leak. ('02 Jetta Wagon) I checked all the hose connections, and everything appears to be OK. Fuel economy is definitely off by 10-15%. Also: At operating temp., the coolant hose running to the thermostat, is cold. I...

Well, I finally reassembled the wiring, and I cleared the airbag code. It has not come back, in 7 months!

I did the same. It's been fine, for the last three years. I keep grease on it.

Finally, here is what I have. : Blue&Yellow w/seat belt buckled 470 ohms. Brown&Green: open Unbuckled: Blue&yellow:Open Brown& Green .8 ohms. Today, the initial, reading I was getting on the Blue and yellow unbuckled, was 1666 ohms, but still 470 ohms, buckled. It literally changed, when I...

BTW, for WIIW, the part # for the other side of the car, is: 1J0-810-222 https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/1J0810222.htm?pn=1J0-810-222-VAG

I'm still 'in progress' with this issue, time permitting. Right now, I have over a half dozen fuses out of the car. (Still have the 'Draw') Thanks for the suggestions! :)

Interesting. Thanks! I thought for sure, that I was going to have to dig into the wire harness. I peeled back the tubing on the shaft of the seat belt connector, and I didn't see anything remarkable. I'm going to have to start over tomorrow. I'm glad that I didn't start tearing the floor apart...

With the spring thaw, I finally got around to inspecting the seat belt connector, and I found some bad news. The electrical seat connections before the harness that goes under the rug, are fine. I get a reading of 473 Ohms, when I connect the seatbelt, and 0 ohms when it is disconnected. (This...

https://oemwolf.com/oem-parts/1j0810221.html Hmm...it does appear, that the part is discontinued, and hard to find. I think that it is still available, via this link.

I'm going to try to repair my rockers, by using the OEM steel front Rocker cap that mates up against the fender. It is VW part # 1J0-810-221 (JC 030 H04 Plate) (They come in pairs, and are pretty cheap!) I bought 6 of 'em, just in case there is more to the job, than I expect. :)

Gee, and here I thought that the Lincoln, was pronounced EmKayVeeEyeEye (Sir!) :LOL:

Thanks, guys! 🙂
