Hi all this is my first post here. So my girlfriend has bought herself a 1989 Golf with 340k on the clock, probably a bit on a bit of an impulse no definitely an impulse buy. I don't know much about mechanics but there is something funny with the reverse. It regularly happens that reverse just...

Does anyone have a fix for a completely loose headlight knob? I realize this just happens after 34 years. It pulls right off the shaft. I've read (Bentley and this forum) the procedure to remove the knob and shaft from the switch, but there is no mention removing/reattaching the knob from/to...

Hey, I just purchased a 09 Golf GTI with 75,000 on the clock. I'm in love with it but I'm really caught in two minds about it all. I bought it from the dealership I work at (shall remain nameless) and the first night I took it home, the ABS, ESP, BRAKE, STEERING, EML and SKID light came up on...

Hello, I have to admit I am a little stumped. My girlfriend has an 07 beetle convertible. Her right front window started acting funny the other night. Whenever I opened the door, the window would go down. If I hit the lock or unlock on the fob, the window went down. It was just the right front...

I've owned a bunch of diesel vehicles in the past 40 years but this is the first TDI I kept for myself and didn't re-sell. So I'm trying to get it ready for winter. I just installed a new MONSTER 950 cca battery, new Bosch glow plugs and soldered in a new plug harness. In that vein...

I have two Jetta GLX's, a 2001 and a 2002. The '01 interior is immaculate, but the rest of the car is pretty rough. The '02 is the opposite. So I wanted to swap the front seats between the two cars (both are full power, and heated, and the driver's side is memory) and sell the '01 with the...
