My Mother accidentally put gas in her 03 TDI wagon. She just called me and she lives in WI and I live in CA. She told me she had a 1/4 tank of diesel and added a 1/2 more of E85 gas. She then drove it 10 miles and it was bucking so she stopped and then realized what she had done. In her...

So I just installed front struts, poly control arm bushings and now I am on to the rear shocks. My question's are 1) Are the spring compressors in the right spot here? I could not get the compressors any higher on the springs due to the gap space. 2) how can I get the nut off the top of...

My shift lever broke. I picked up the new part from the dealer and now I am wondering how to get the old part out. I don't want to do any damage here as I have never done this job. I am assuming I need to get that center nut out that turns the whole lever when I turn it.

Just wanted to share this and also see if I have any recourse. I paid a guy parting out his B4 on vwvortex $120 for his fogs and dummies. According to him they were his brand new set that he had not yet installed. I got them in the mail yesterday and low and behold they are the Ebay Chinese...

No cold air at all from vents, compesser kicks on and stays on. High side reads about 110 low side reads about 110 on the gauges. I have read that it could be the expansion valve. If I just do the expansion valve then I will have to bring it in to have it evac'd and refilled. I assume there is...

1) This is the front passenger side roof. Is there some kind of clip that holds this rubber rail down? That is not rust BTW, this car has been in California its whole life. It looks like someone put some copper RTV to try and hold it down. I am wondering what I can use to hold this down. Or...

My beloved 1998 Jetta shot some freon out the wents as I was driving it home after a long trip. I thought the car was on fire for a minute. Any way after searching here I figured on the expansion valve was the problem. I took it to a shop that I have only used once being I do all my own...

I recently replaced the seals on my injection pump that was leaking. I then used the hammer mod to get the IQ into spec. I do not remember what the exact IQ was before I changed the seals but it was below 2. I thought I set it to 4.2 but after the worst mileage ever recorded I checked some...

steering wheel shaking, going nuts! 98 Jetta-162,000 here is the problem: At highway speeds the steering wheel moves side to side-slightly, very fast, just enough to drive you crazy. At city speeds and stopping it is smooth. Things I have recently done to the car after the problem started...
