I feel like this is going to be an obvious answer and I'm going to feel dumb for asking but my 81 rabbit pickup 1.6 coolant system has random spontaneous problems, so starting with the reservoir I can't tighten the cap on all the way otherwise it builds up steam in the coolant system and...

Anyone ever do the headliner in a 2007? I have a hand me down with just 30,000 miles on it but it sat outside in VA heat and most of the fabric is pretty sagging. It looks like a nasty bit of work as a DIY and it also looks like $$$$ to have it done professionally. Any thoughts? Thanks

Need suggestions on extent of engine overhaul required for major over heat. She was smoking. The belt broke on my 79 beetle and I didn't know. Less then 10K on engine. Can I get away with new pistons, cylinders and head with valves. And an oil change of course! I am towing her home...

Hello again! It's been a while but I am back because I am in the process of restoring the interior, exterior, and seals. To get a good even coat of paint I wanted to remove the rear doors of my 4-dr 1984 VW Rabbit L. I came to find out that the rear bolts are different from the front door...

Last year I purchased my first VW, a 2014 Passat w/ 2.5 engine. I don't recall ever hearing the radiator fans run (there are 2 of them.) During recent heat wave my a/c does not cool unless driving at 30mph or faster, and engine overheats if I sit at idle for more than about 5 minutes. The...
