    Thump in front end

    Car is an 01 Jetta with a manual trans. Long story short, I replaced the trans due to 5th gear shearing off the teeth on the highway and junking 4th gear as well. Trans went in no problem. All clutch parts were swapped over and looked great. The issue is starting around 40-45 mph, there was a...

    Low temp gauge and Luke warm heat.

    As the title says, my cars temp gauge doesn't get above maybe quarter the way up. Not even when it's in the 60°s. It does have heat to keep windows defrosted and such. But it rarely ever gets past the first few lines on the gauge. I've recently did a new thermostat and complete coolant flush...

    AC not working

    For the life of me, I can't get the search to work. Or I wouldn't be asking for help. Anyways, last year my ac had stopped working. It was basically the last hot day we had. So I figured I'd look into it later. Well long story short, it's time to fix it. The rad fans do not come on unless the...

    Yesterday the family and i drove from the East side of Michigan to the west side by grand rapids. In 5th with cruise on the whole way. Got off and was very hard to change gears.

    Turbo failure?

    So we have a 2001 golf TDI. Today while my gf was getting on the eway, she heard a loud poof and had no more good acceleration and had crazy amounts of smoke.

    Throwout bearing replacement

    Hey all. For the last few weeks I've had a grinding feeling in the clutch pedal. Only when the clutch is pressed. Tonight on my way home at a light, it started squealing. Similar to a slipping belt. It continued the squealing with every shift all the way home. The last mile or so it still had...

    Moderate boost, low power, no whistle

    I tried the search button, but it disappears before I can type. I got this car about a month ago. (2001 Jetta TDI) had zero boost when I got it. Changed all vacuum hoses with oem replacement hoses. That fixed the lack of boost. Then got over boost code. Adjusted the actuator and all was good...
