Started making noises, it looked like the right front CV axle needed to be replaced. When the mechanic got in there turned out the transmission (standard) housing was damaged. Replacing the transmission estimate is $2000-3000. The car has other problems, the AC generator went out and needs to...

Out of nowhere the driver side front door's lower door hinge is suddenly rough and noisy. It makes clicking noises when closing the door. Is this just due to wear and tear, or is there a component that tends to break? Not only do I hear a clicking noise when closing the door, but it also feels...

Evening everyone,just hoping someone can offer any advise. My haldex/diff is making really terminal noises, and I was wondering what would happen if I removed both rear driveshafts and the propshaft. Would it cause any electrical issues? I am a retired old codger and don't really want to spend...

I just got my first ever VW and it's a 2010 CC Lux with 63k miles on it. I'm hearing noises, road noises mostly, from my driver side rear strut. I might just be sensitive because my previous car (Civic) had strut issues and I had to change all 4 eventually. Then again the sound isn't always...
