Car has been sold: Hi forum, I have spent over $5400 maintaining and improving my 2003 jetta TDI (all invoices in hand). Perfect starter car for the VW enthusiast in your life!

Hey guys, My dad has a Jetta TDI 1999.5 with RC3 (if it matters). Lately, the external part of the coolant reservoir has been wet with coolant. The coolant levels drop, but not very quickly. Also, when he unscrews the cap a hissing sound is made, is this normal? Any ideas? Thanks

Hey guys, I have a slight problem with my (well my dad's jetta). It is a 1999.5 Jetta TDI. One day when starting the wipers, they started moving very slowly. They only function at one speed no matter the setting. Any idea what part I have to replace? Or what kind of problem it is? A simple fuse...

Hey guys, After reading about the VNT-15-17-20-etc.. I wondered if it was possible to use any other turbos? Maybe gasser turbos? Turbos from other brand cars? I know modification will probably be necessary but I can probably handle that. No major changes though ;). Anyways, is it too much of a...

Hey guys, Recently, my dad broke/burnt out his clutch. He was pulling a heavy load on a clutch that was not locked in (meaning he was holding the clutch pedal in about halfway). He has a rocketchip, but that is not what caused the problem. Anyways, now what can be done? Is there a simple part...

Hello, I was just wondering if there was a very comprehensive manual I could get for my USB-Key from Vag-Com. I've seen the wiki, I've seen their little manual, but is there anything More ? Thanks

My father owns a Jetta MKIV. It is a 1999.5, with ~170,000miles on the odometer. It has a rocketchip stage 3, and a bad MAF sensor. On average the temperature outside is 10F, maybe 20F midday. Anyways, Correct my logic if it is wrong... Bad maf, default 'low' amount of air given, bad...

--moderator please feel free to move this post anywhere :)-- As many of you know I still have yet to own a jetta (tdi of course). But fortunately for me, my dad bought himself a jetta (tdi of course :D). So one snoozingly boring day, we decided to do it. (Not IT , just listen). We went to a...

Hello, I was just wondering about engines. After I've been reading I realized people wanted to swap engines? Is it possible to get a much better engine? Would it make sense to get a damaged A4 and put in an A5 engine? Do A5 engines fit into A4's? How much do A5 engines cost? I am thinking of...

Hello, As many of you know I do not yet own a tdi but I will be purchasing a Jetta around February. So my question is, why did VW stop putting in the old clutches that were stronger? I heard that the 1999 clutch is stronger than the 2001 clutch (both A4's). I also heard that the 1999 clutch was...

Hey, Since you guys are resourceful, you probably already found something like this. But I didn't bother to check if you did :D. http://www.sqbiofuels.com/faq.htm#q6 I quoted it for you guys.

Hello, (5speed) I was just wondering if you guys ever rev it up to a certain rpm number at a stop light, then switch it into first just to get rolling faster. Is this a strain on the transmission? Does it really help out? How many rpms do you rev it up to? I'm not asking about racing/peeling...

Hello, I was browsing through some of these forums and I asked myself, how much torque do gassers have? Then I asked myself, does my sister's 1999 1.8 Passat (not the v6 edition) have more/less torque than a equivalent 1999 1.9 Jetta TDI. So I checked a few sites. The Passat...
