The driver side heated seat in our 2017 Jetta is not heating. The passenger side heated seat is working fine. I tried to look-up the fuse location in the manual but the diagram does not exist. To paraphrase:"Manual cannot keep up with fuse locations since locations change within model year."...

Got some more Michelins on my 2001 Isuzu Trooper. After 91,000miles, old Michelin tire tread depth looked okay but the sides exhibited signs of dry rotting and subsequent cracking. My Michelin Primacy MXV4's on 06 Jetta are at 60,000miles (~4 years old) and showing small areas of dry rotting...

Replaced the recirc motor behind the glovebox (BTW thanks for the insights). But now after reinstalling the glovebox, there is an annoying dash/glovebox rattle on a rough road at 1900 rpms. Do I need to tighten down the glovebox mounting screws again? I could always turn the radio up...

My 2006 DSG TDI Jetta with 70,000 miles has a start-up rattle. At first, I thought it was the CD player/CD rattling but today I heard it with the radio off. My second thought was a fan problem, but the sound occurs with the fan off. The CD-rattling type sound originates from the glove box...
