    Good Morning All, 98 Cabrio new to me. Doesn't like going into 5th gear easily. More than half the time either binds or goes into third. Where do I start? Not a resto project just want to make it a nice daily driver. Thanks!
  2. Jetta / Bora MK4 / 1999-2004
    I wanted a Chevy I bought this, I have had nothing but problems all have been fixable but we can not figure out why after 35 or more miles it will all the sudden pop into neutral and can only drive in 2nd gear. I then have to pull over and wait generally a half hour to 45 minutes before I can...

  4. MK1 Rabbit Electrical
    I replaced my Bosch al113m with an al113mx. The new one did not come with clip to hold electrical connection in and old clip is too big. Should I try and make a clip or they stay in we’ll enough? And is the max alternator ok or should I have rebuilt my original one? Thanks for info. It’s an...

    I Recently bought a Golf 1.6 FSI mk5, it runs very well until (without notice) it just cuts out, the thing is this is only half the problem as when I try to restart it, it won't start and it shows no sign of trying to start. The only thing I'm able to do is leave it for approximately 45 mins and...
  6. Air-cooled Owners Club
    I inherited a 71 super beetle, it was from the first half of 1971 so it has the flat windshield. I have been trying to get it road worthy. I have everything ready except the brake lights. I cannot find the fuse for the lights or where the wires travel from the brake lights. Any help would be...
  7. Passat B6 Forums
    Hi all, I'm looking to bypass the EGR cooler as it's leaking coolant and consuming maybe half a litre every 150miles. I've been told it's easy enough to do with a piece of pipe to connect the inlet and outlet points thus bypassing the cooler completely. Has anybody got any experience of this or...

  11. 1975 - 1984 VW Rabbit General Forum
    I just switched engines on an 81 caddy, putting in a 1.7 engine from an 83 convertible. I can't get the engine to run at idle. It seems to have low compression, but I've had engines with low compression before and could keep them running. The 1.7 I replaced had the timing set at 3 degrees after...

    I have a 1984 Rabbit and it sat for about a year and a half. I was able to get started and drive it home. It ran fine. A few days later I went to start it and it would start but won't idle and when I give it some gas it dies. Any ideas? Thanks Randy
  13. VW Rabbit MKV Forum 2006/2007/2008/2009
    I have a 2007 Rabbit. Can my MFD1 half-display cluster be swapped out for an MFD2 full display? I see that they are listed with donor car mileage. Does that mean that my car will read that mileage or will my computer set it correctly? Can it be set for my car's correct mileage? Thanks!

    84 gas rabbit. Would crank but not start ended up using a battery jump start thing. With the key in the on but not started. I could hear what I am assuming was the fuel pump buzzing loudly in the back of the car. I was then able to start and drive to work. Should I order a new fuel pump now or...

  16. Jetta MK2 / 1984-1992
    Just had engine rebuilt and installed in my 90 Jetta GLI 16v. Engine will not start unless throttle is fully opened up. Engine will misfire and run poorly unless vacuum line is removed from back of intake. When it is removed, it runs balls to the wall. If you cover hole half way, engine runs...

    I have pulled my driver side axle to replace it. I ordered a rebuilt one, twice and neither have fit. Both of them bind when you tighten the axle nut fully. I can back off half a turn and have no problems. When I compare the old axle with the rebuilt there is a difference in the way the ends...
  18. Volkswagen Tiguan Forum
    The plan is to remove the entire roof of a salvaged Tiguan which has the panoramic sunroof and roof racks and transplant the whole thing, replacing the now plain roof. Finding donor roofs is easy, but searching for documentation online of any late model vehicle attempt at this is proving to be...
