... Dear group, Well, I took my 2002 Jetta GLS TDI (32,000 mi.) in for service on saturday, and it is working like normal again -- there was no cost (yay!)....
Is it my 04 Jetta or is the power steering on all Jettas almost nonexistant? I have not driven a car with steering like this since the 70s! Tnx, Rob ... Do...
If you've been driving GM cars with overboosted power steering for the last 30 years, I could understand why you might think that. But if you think there is a ...
... It's been refered to it in other posts as an "MAF" or mass airflow sensor. It measures the amount of air coming in through the airbox so that the computer...
Rob, The steering is supposed to be like that. It's precision. The steering wheel is designed to be tight and trouble free, not loose and wobbly. -Cody ... ...
a vw dealer today told me there would be no TDi Beetle for 2005, AND that 2005 is the last year of Beetle production.... anyone know if this is really true? ...
As far as productions schedules go, the dealers usually know better than even the engineers. That doesn't keep the dealer from trying to get you to buy the...
To all that responded, and especially Tad with his awesome write-up, thanks! When I had a chance, I went back in and checked it out further... and for whatever...
Somewhat expected... The A4 platform design (New Beetle, Audi TT, the current North American Golf, Jetta, some Skoda and Seat models) is being phased out for...

Why do they keep flip-flopping the Passat platform between an Audi platform and a stretched Golf/Jetta platform? So, when does the A5 based Beetle show up? I...
Aha! I'd bet your faulty brake switch was activating the "safety lockout"(my term). If you've ever tried to do heel-toe shifting you know what I'm talking...
I have both a 2001 and a 2003 Jetta. I noticed a big difference in the amount of 'power boost' between the two cars and have asked that same question. The 2001...
I don't mind progressive power steering. But what the point of having PS when at a stand still you have to strain to turn the wheel!?! When moving it is fine....
Let me make sure I am understanding you correctly. Are you saying that you believe my car was being erratic because of the brake switch, a problem unrelated...
I recently changed a lightbulb to my temperature control dials and when I did, I noticed that the "air bag dummy light" turned on. In the manual it says to...
Heel toe is a driving technique where you brake and rev up the engine to have it a full power when you re-engage the clutch. The equivalent in my auto trans...
The MAF may well have been bad, but I was theorizing that your "starting from a stop" issue may have been the brake switch problem de-activating the throttle,...
Daniel, something similar happened to me, and what I figured out it was is this high pressure hose coming off the turbo was leaking air, sporadically. The only...
Went out yesterday afternoon (Tx heat) and rolled the passenger window down about 2" while I turned the a/c on full blast to move some of the super heated air...
Go test drive a different Jetta to make sure yours is OK. My 2002 can be steered with one finger. Paul L Fisher 2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI automatic -...
Go out and try brake torquing your TDI. Floor the brake and then while holding the brake floor the 'go' pedal. It will strain for a bit but then it will seem...
I'd be curious to know if anyone else has driven pre-2003 TDIs and notice a difference in power steering feel? All I know is that the 2001 has far more power...
For whatever reason, the rear windows have not been a chronic problem like the fronts were before the new metal clips. That is not to say that it couldn't ...
I haven't driven a post 2000, so can't compare either. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - 100MB free storage!...
