My exhaust pipe fell off while driving my 1980 Rabbit (Diesel). How is it secured? Wondering if I need to get it towed. Thanks.

The seat belt retractor in my 1971 super beetle is stuck, and cannot be loosened with the hot water and soap trick described in YouTube. I need to open the retractor but which side? One side has the stuck gears (fatter side?) and the other has the tightly wound spring that explodes out when the...

Looking for a good recommendation for a glue to reattach pealing dashboard vinyl under the gauges and the glovebox cover where it’s peaked away. Hoping to get to it soon before it starts to split/crack.

Hi all. I need some help. I have a 2010 CC sport 2.0T. A light came on for about 3-5 seconds flashing and beeping and it read something along the lines of low oil pressure, stop engine. I cut off the engine since I was at a red light then turned it right back on. At no point did the engine ever...

Hey all, So I'm pretty new to cars, working on my own for the first time. I own a VW Jetta 07 2.5L. I'm familiar with tools, and I've read up on my vehicle drive belt system. I've replaced two idler pulleys and the upper belt tensioner. The pulley on the alternator is seized so I'm trying to...

WELL the drive home today had it's own adventure. NOT with the Lemon Snowball made famous by its own thread...dragging my feet with finishing repairs on that thing...but with the 84. Got half way back...heard a squeal and looked in rearview to see a cloud of smoke pouring out behind me. Pulled...

Good afternoon! So, I had someone back into the front bumper of my ‘80 Rabbit. :( One side is pushed in and the other is sticking out. It seems as if all I need to do is loosen the mounting bolts up and straighten it out by hand, but was told the ‘absorbers’ are a one-shot deal. Is that true...

Should there be lights in instruments somewhere else than just the speedometer/clock -panel, I mean should there be lights in heater switches? I found one loose wire and bulb holder behind the radio and I don't figure out where they should go. Radio is aftermarket one, I thought original one...

Shift has gotten almost impossible, and the shifter is loose and rattles terribly. Research suggests I just need to replace the shifter bushing? I've also seen this would be a good time to replace the coupler as well. I'm on cip1 and see the coupler kit and the shifter bushing with ring. Do...

Just purchased 83 rabbit convertible. Runs good ( a little rough at start) . Big problem is in electrical. Wipers don't work. Seatbelt and door alarms did but now don't, fan blower did but now don't. I replaced intermittent wiper module and no change. Also, does anyone know what the module that...

I have a 1980 Rabbit 1.5 Diesel. The other day, after idling in my driveway for about an hour, I backed it up about 10 feet, then shut it off. I got out of the car and realized I still needed to back up further, but when I tried to start it up again (less than 15 seconds later) it wouldn't...

I know there is an old thread but couldn't find it. On first start when engine is cold, starting is difficult because of air in fuel line between filter and injection pump. In response to another post whose problem included air in fuel line it was suggested to install an electric fuel pump...
