Someone came by last evening with an AC problem. The AC was intermittent. The compressor would just shut off sometimes. Turned out the problem was two fold. The engine was overheating due to a bad thermostat, stuck partially shut. Despite rumors to the contrary the VW stock thermostat can...

My AC system was not providing full cooling anymore, and I suspected I needed a new Refrigerant Control Valve, RCV. This valve is a simple spring loaded pressure control valve inside the Sanden SD7V16 compressor. I have changed out more than a dozen for friends and family, and it looked as if...

Folks, I now have 3 gauge sets, the first two were problematic on some VW schrader valves. They would not reliably depress the shrader valve, and so you could get false readings. The first set was from Harbor Freight, and worked fairly well, but had some problems with some schrader valves. Had...

My 78 year old uncle fueled his 03 Golf TDI with gasoline. Sitting on the side of the road. Drove it until it quit. Anyone near enough willing to go empty his tank, I would owe you one. He is near Sunrise and NorthEast 16th near a Walgreen's drug store and a Shell station.

2004 BEW Jetta, 230k miles, stage 1 tune. Car had persistently but erratically gone in to overboost limp mode, often under mild acceleration at low engine speeds, and would almost always overboost at full pedal even at moderate speeds. This problem was very slowly (over months) getting more...

I am looking for IQ values on BEW engines (2004 and early 2005 Jetta's) (2004-2006 Golf's and New Beetle's). A friend has one that is running with an IQ of about 12 mg/stroke at idle when warm. This seems excessive to me, even for an automatic, but I have little experience with them. So if...

After replacing the DMF in a DSG yesterday, we had problems with the power steering not recovering properly. Can anyone think of something that we could have done during the DSG replacement that could cause this? The battery was disconnected for 8 hours or so. No charger was put on it, no...

2 Micron Caterpillar fuel filters went on my cars as soon as I bought them. But I wanted a water separator and water in fuel alarm. I recently added some fuel filters to my 2005 Jetta BEW PD, as a test bed for ultimate installation on my 2010 (well my wife's 2010) Jetta Sedan CJAA. I ran...
