I am asking for any of your experiences of similar issues and fixes please. The story so far, my 2006 2.0 tdi Passat had a full clutch kit including flywheel slave and fluid change, all was fine until she became redundant for a few weeks and when used again the clutch pedal became very stiff...

My 2009 has only 90k miles and runs great. Lately all the dash gear lights highlight randomly - happened on the way to work this morning (last time it occurred after driving for an hour on the highway), but nothing else happens. Car runs fine and I can not detect anything (no surges, rpm stays...

My jetta just stopped moving today. Driving it down the street and all of a sudden no more power to the wheels. Not sure what happened. I did flat tow it home since it was just a block away from my house. While I was towing it, I could hear a faint sound of a slapping/rattling coming from the...

This has happened a few times during the past 12 months, always in the same spot. Going uphill and pretty much letting off the gas and coasting on an off-ramp, the engine cuts out for maybe 2 seconds. When I step on the gas, the engine catches and keeps going like nothing happened. Today, on a...

I just bought a 2010 Jetta. A/C & heater worked fine. All of a sudden when I tried to turn on the a/c the fan isn't pushing any air at all. I have checked the fan motor and resistor and both ohm out. Haven't been using car so I'm not sure what happened. I was trying to diagnose the reason the...

Last week, I had a problem with my truck not starting after work. I thought it was because of the extremely cold weather we had that day and my negligence in plugging in my truck at work. When I tried to start it, it acted like there was no fuel. I got it going the next day after having it...
