    Fixed my glow plug wires and now my car is shutting off after starting...

    So I found this: I fixed where the wires to the harness were burnt in half. I checked the resistance levels of all my glow plugs and they are showing within tolerance. After this fix my car seems to fire right up after letting the glow plugs heat one time. It starts and runs for about 5...

    O1M transmission slipping when cold. Progressively worse. Nearly undrivable.

    I suppose so. I can't find any leak anywhere.

    Oh, no i just put in a quart and checked if it was better. The next day I checked it properly and filled it on up. Sorry if I didn't make sense.

    Youtube [VIDEO] of my axle doing something I suspect is not normal, please advise!

    Well just like the title says. This problem is independant of my recent transmission issues. Please see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27KEUenrA7w Do I need to get both new axles? The other side doesn't do this. The biggest problem is that my car violently shudders / shakes / vibrates...

    O1M transmission slipping when cold. Progressively worse. Nearly undrivable.

    I just ordered some new glow plugs from IDParts, but I'll have to check on the MAF and see what's up with it. So far it's not slipping since adding the quart of fluid. Thankfully. I'm not sure what you mean here. I thought the "correct" way was to fill with fluid inside the actual fill tube...

    O1M transmission slipping when cold. Progressively worse. Nearly undrivable.

    I'm not sure why there's a code for the interior light of MAF sensor. Both seem fine. I do need to get my glow plugs fixed. I just replaced the harness and plugs last winter though. Well I put a quart of fluid in through the sensor hole on the top of the transmission just like in that link...

    O1M transmission slipping when cold. Progressively worse. Nearly undrivable.

    Well now when I left work my transmission seems like it's in limp mode (stuck in 3rd gear). I'll check it with vagcom when I get home and will update with an edit to this post. Edit: Video showing what it's doing now: http://youtu.be/I3LKP7kSVCE

    HELP, advise needed.

    Without the actuator operational wouldn't the turbo be running an unsafe level of boost?

    O1M transmission slipping when cold. Progressively worse. Nearly undrivable.

    Hi all, it's been awhile. My 2000 Jetta transmission has started giving me issues, which is no surprise since I now have over 267,000 miles on the car. For probably the past year or so when I first start my car, after its been sitting awhile, the transmission acts like it's slipping. The rpms...

    Horn gradually gets weaker when used... then stops

    I have a similar issue with my mkiv Jetta. I've actually put three brand new horns in my car. And everytime after about 4 to 5 months they start making a weird noise and getting quieter, and it sounds like only one tone works until eventually they fail completely. I give up.
