I had a glow plug cel on my 01 jetta and I replaced the harness and all 4 glow plugs and no light over 7 years. So depends if you want to piece it out or just do all the work at one time.

I saw this thread and wanted to share my experience. I had a code for a bad maf and bought a cheap $75 maf and it lasted a couple of days. I then thinking that it couldn't be the maf went looking for trouble else where. Finally I bought the more expensive Bosh Maf and that fixed the problem...

Could that be a High temp cut out?

I have the same problem. Any answers??? 01 Jetta Thanks

Ignition switch I had intermittant fault with the ABS and a blinking Brake light. This lasted for about a year while I troubleshooted different things like grounds. I finally replaced the ignition switch and the faults seemd to go away. It's fairly cheep and easy to do. A 2010 though might...

AVS will not open till you turn on the key and try to start.. get someone to start it and see if it opens while they are cranking it over.

If the fuel filter has been changed lately try checking the thermostatic 'T". It might be cracked introducing air into the system.

I'm not an expert, but if you suspect a timing belt, do not try to start the car again. Major damage can ensue... I would first do a visual inspection to see if the belt looks good. I can say from experience that if relay 109 isn't working it will crank but will not start. Also do a search for...

You guys are awsome! I was having a problem with the temp gauge reading cooler than usual. I thought it was the sending unit but instead after reading this thread decided to replace the t-stat. WoW My MPG's before the replacement were in the about 40.3 MPG. The last tank after the t-stat...

I'm not trying to thread hijack but has anyone used Michelin Hydro-edge?? Tire wear and are they noisy? Thanks

Zeke5551 I have a 2001 and driving like I want to I usually get around 42. Mostly highway 25 miles each way. Stock set up also. with injectors with 236,000 on them. Best I ever got was 46 driving like granny lol.

My sunroof also had a mind of it's own i would leave the car and come back to it being tilted to the vent position. I rotated the switch from left to right, stop to stop and it seemed to fix the problem. I would suspect it is corrosion on the contacts of the switch. I haven't had the time to...

I would venture that a manual gas pedal would be smaller in diamater than a auto gas pedal because there are three pedals down there. But what is the difference that is for another expert.

dzcad90 I've been using that for a few years now. Works great. I usually fold the tub in half to keep the ps from coming out. The valve sometimes will leak.. and if you are not ready it will dribble down the side of your car.

use a wire tie (tystrap) wrap it around and across the connector to hold it on. Cheap and easy.

Papysj, I just replaced my '01 starter because of hard starting. It went from about one revolution to about 5 or 6 (which i consider hard starting). I replaced mine with a new one and now i'm back to easy starts (about 1 revolution). As a precaution I would also clean all the grounds...

Wolfie, I have 226,000 on my '01 and no sign of any trouble and i plan to run it into the ground like you. Good luck and keep motoring on!!!!

With a car as old as his (mine is an 01) could be the switch arm. Mine is flakey and I know that I need to replace the stalk.

When the starter turns over does it sound like it is laboring kinda like the battery is low or is it spinning as usual?
