    My car goes 40 mph standing still

    OK, The gauges reset themselves this morning. Unfortunately it reset my clock and the trip meter at the same time. I know the battery is strong in the car so either it is a bad ground or the the cluster is ready to sh*t the bed. I will check the grounds. Thanks for the ideas everybody!

    My car goes 40 mph standing still

    We are in the 20's today. Also, on Friday I ran the heat on full blast out the dash vents in the hopes of raising the temp in behind the cluster as well as in the cabin. I believe this issue is beyond just warming the dash. Either the battery reset will do the trick or I have to pull the cluster...

I will try the battery disconnect, but I have a sinking suspicion that the cluster may have to be pulled and...

    96 B4 Electrical Issue...I hope

    Well, lugnut nailed it on the head. It was actually the negative terminal but the clamp that holds the cable to the terminal was loose even though the nut was tight. The repair place wedge a cotterpin in the clamp so it would tighten properly. The old girl is now up and running. Thanks for the...

    PA Turnpike TDI sighting

    Hey everyone, I saw what seemed to be an unusual Jetta TDI on the PA turnpike yesterday. It was a new model Jetta but it looked different than most Jettas. It seemed to lack the chrome on the front and what really stood out is that it had an all red TDI badge. Does anybody know what the all red...
