    timing belt change tip

    none of the instructions I read mention this. I just finished installing my new timing belt on my 06 jetta. I discovered that if you leave that roller bearing out next to the tensioner and put the belt around everything else including the tensioner, that the bearing is so slick, you can shove...

    metal flakes in the oil? 2006 jetta tdi

    I just did my 30k oil change. Pulled the magnetic drain plug and found a bunch of metal flakes on it. About 5 or 6, flat metal flakes. Pretty small. Where would this be from? Pretty sure bearing material is non-ferrious. Did this show up for the cam failures?

    adding water to the battery

    Have an 06 jetta tdi. Just before the 06.5. Thought I would top off the water in the battery, but don't see how to open it. I saw a pic of someone elses and they had screw in caps for each cell, but mine does not have those.

    coolant loss?

    I bought my 06 tdi new in july. Mostly check the coolant once a month or so. Noticed that the coolant level was below the low mark now. I was wondering if this was normal or not? I normally don't see any losses at all in any new car, but this pink stuff might be different.

    Is there a benifit to a 2009 over 2006?

    a/c issues?

    Not sure. Might just be me and the fact that it is over 100 here. I don't remember this being a problem last year. In the morning and afternoon when I start my car, the a/c doesn't seem to kick in at idle. It seems like I have to get moving first before I get any a/c. 2006 jetta. Anyone else...

    2006 jetta tdi, if I hit the brakes, mash them to the floor, then let up a little bit, I get a continuous hiss from under the dash. Not just the little noise from when you press down, but a full blown vacuum leak noise. Does anyone else have this? Is this normal for jetta brakes? I never...
