    Challenging issues w/MKV Jetta (electrical)

    So in the interest of full disclosure, I'm going to start from the beginning. My wife's MKV Jetta was having AC issues last summer, I replaced the RCV and it got better. It also needed new cooling fans but we let it ride until this summer. The small fan was working (somewhat) for most of the...

    Another DSG Bites the dust!

    Saving myself some typing, text from my NHTSA complaint; Our Jetta experienced a "false neutral" problem back in December, 2013. (95,000 miles) I did some research and found that it could be due to a low voltage condition. I checked the electrical system and found the alternator to be...

    02J to 02M Swap, no cruise in 6th gear

    As the title says, I just completed my 02M conversion. I gotta say I love it! The only problem is that the cruise control will not work in 6th. Is this something I can fix with VCDS? Does it need to be told that it actually has a 6th gear? Thanks.

    FS: FEELER, 02J swap parts

    I am thinking about an 02M swap, looks like I will have nearly everything needed to do an AT to 02J swap. I am not sure what shape the trans is in, it looks like one of the diff bearings came loose, the whole differential is moving around in the housing. This took out the flange seals and I lost...

    TB Bolt question?

    In the pre-TB replacement interview, my closest ''trusted mechanic" tells me that he does not usually replace the TTY bolts and that he has never had a problem with them. If I request that this be done anyway, how will I actually know unless I babysit the entire process and risk making him mad...

    Summer road trip WITH wife and kids

    I have made my first long road trip in the TDI Jetta this summer. TOTALLY IMPRESSED! I have two young children, (three and four at the time) still in car seats. We ran out of room while packing (for two different climates) so I had to improvise. I took the rear seat cushions out and folded the...
