Search Results for ‘stuff’

I've done some searching and haven't found exactly what I need so I'm posting. I have a 2001 Passat Station Wagon with the V6 engine. In Aug '09, the Timing Belt, Idler and Water Pump were replaced under a warranty issue; the mileage was 56K. My current mileage is 96K, so the belt has 40K on it...

Hello all, I just wanted to plug a local company. I have been using GOM1221 degreaser for a bunch of years now. It is made by BNAC Environmental in Coquitlam BC. I have left VW golf diesel intake manifolds in a pail of 25% GOM and 75% water and they come out spotless. Zero carbon left in...

I ended up "fixing" my overheating issue I addressed in my last thread but now I got a new problem.. I took the car to work which is about a 13 mile drive, 11 of those being highway. On my way in I was doing a steady 65-70 with the motor at about 3300RPM, traffic speed picked up some so as...

I just picked up a 2019 Tiguan S with 4Motion last night. Excited to be back in a Volkswagen. I loved by 2011 Jetta TDI but my family outgrew it, so it was traded for a minivan awhile back. I was in the market for a small suv and my dealership experience when negotiating was great! Glad I...

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.

So I just bought an 83 GTI Rabbit. I am wanting to fix it up to make it my daily driver. It is in really good condition and a lot has been done to it. New fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines, intake, all filters, spark plugs, timing belt, and had the CIS retimed. It only has 88,000 miles on it...

Hello everyone,, Having had six Passats and none of them have ever been on the back of a breakdown truck I am firmly a VW man. However I always fancied the CC as they look so cool. (at 65 years old I can still say that-Right?) OK. I bought a June 2014 GT CC in black. The parking sensors aren't...

Having trouble finding info on this subject. I have 81 diesel with a 5 speed transmission I do not know where from. When I first got the transmission in I scrapped together linkage from other junked 5 speed vw that worked but I don't think its quite right. The linkage I have has white ends but...

Greetings from the land of the buffalo. Seems to me that once upon a time, the Volkwagen Repair for the Compleat Idiot manual had a little section on what extra stuff to bring on a longer-than-usual road trip. I'm considering the purchase of a '67 Beetle and it's 550 miles away. I don't want...

Installed new turn directional switch, worked fine after installation ,but now I get just a solid light on the dash ,and everytime I turn on the emergency flashers it will blow the fuse. I'm leaning on replacing the emergency flasher switch? Also no lights at all when trying to use turn...

My mirror just popped right out as I was leaving home. I did not even know at first. I heard a noise and thought it was some stuff in the back of the car rattling around. My brother found my mirror on the ground shattered in three pieces. Is this a common thing? Anyone else have this happen...
