I've recently encountered what appears to be the dreaded cooling fan / AC malfunction symptoms that many threads seem to touch on. I haven't seen the specific condition and set of 4 codes that I'm seeing on mine, so I thought I'd post and ask for some feedback. This started when my wife noticed...

I installed an LUK Dual Mass clutch kit in my '02 Jetta TDI a little less than a year ago. A few months back it developed a noticeable/extreme vibration when starting out in 1st gear or when in reverse. It only happens at the point where I'm engaging or feathering the clutch to start out...

I'm thinking it's toast. I've got 252k on my '98 Jetta TDI and have thrown a CEL code indicating an EGR issue. I pulled the hose off the EGR and hooked up my Mighty Vac to see if it holds a vacuum, and it won't. I've found a few threads about this and it seems like a fairly common...

... So my son had a run-in with a curb and the more I take apart, the more issues I'm finding. This one could be the one that puts my wife's '02 out to pasture ... Here are a few pics of the passenger side engine mount, with a chunk of the block still attached to one of the bolts. Another...

I am due for a brake change on my '98, so I called Advance Auto Parts. When quoting a price for the front pads, the guy asks me if the car was manufactured in Canada, or the US. I was a bit confused as I have never been asked that question before. The difference in price for the front pads was...

So late last night I was completing the installation of a Zerostart heater in my '98 Jetta, and discovered this electrical component mounted near the firewall on the driver's side. It's all fried, but the car seems to be running fine. Can anyone comment on this and what my next step...

I found some time last weekend to tear apart the rear passenger side door on my '98 Jetta TDI, to see if I could figure out why the power window didn't work. When I bought the car, there was a note from a steelership (I'm a little north of Pittsburgh ... sorry, that was cheap :) ) indicating...

My wife recently lost one of the wheel covers for her '02 Jetta. It's looking pretty nasty with one missing. Are there any recommendations out there for a good online supplier? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for some recommendations from those with experience out there ... I recently bought a '98 Jetta TDI with 147k miles on it (Love it!!). There is a knocking or clunking noise that is clearly heard in the front end - sounds like it's coming from right in front of the passenger side by the...
