I am interested in a car that is for sale there and I'd like to find someone who would be willing to take a look at it for me. Of course, I'll have lemon...
Hi guys, yesterday while going on the highway my speedometer started to go up and down, and as soon as I noticed, I thought my CEL would light up but it didn't...
Hi All, New to this list, joined for a friend as he is experiencing some problems with his Golf 2.8 VR6. Problem started when he replaced the plugs for...
Just a long shot, but are the plugs tight enough? Do they have the crush washers on them? Plugs are supposed to go in hand tight, then about a 1/4 turn more. ...
... Does it happen whether or not the car is moving? I.e. if it happens even in neutral and/or clutch disengaged (clutch pedal down) then it has nothing to do...
Ah the curse of pointing things out...dealer called today to say that serpentine belt and upper strut mounts were worn out...I declined their offer to change...

The A3 strut mount R&R procedure is probably the same as all watercooled VWs ever made! If you have done an A2, you can do an A3, no prob. The only difference...
An air gun is your friend with the front strut mounts. Don't bother with special sockets, allen wrenches or whatever. Zip them buggers off..use a deep chrome...
Hi folks, I'm in the process of changing my front driver's side axle assembly. I managed to get the rotor off, the brake assembly, BUT I can't get the 6 bolts...
Ummm... those bolts that hold the inner CV to the differential flange are not torx bolts. They are 8mm 12-pt (triple square) bolts. You need to run down to...
Does anybody know where is located on the tranny the speedometer wire connector? My speed.indicator only fails at high speeds. So I wonder what could be the...
I believe the wheel speed sensor is located near the brake rotor and looks like a miniture rotor with a bunch of holes. Look behind the front brake rotor for...
Chuck, he was looking for the vehicle speed sensor located on the tranny that sends the signal to the speedometer, not the wheel speed sensor for ABS. In my...
That's cool. I was thinking of how the Mk2's had the speedo cable that ran into the tranny (used to top off tranny fluid during a flush). AFAIK, I do not...
Hi, I was wondering if the manual transmission fluid needs to be changed. I have a 98 GLX and I was wondering if this is needed or is it sealed and nothing...
A dealer told me I wouldn't need to change the fluid in my automatic tranny. 6 monthl later the transmission shop told me I wouldn't be fixing the tranny if I...

I'm not sure if a manual transmission fluid change is part of the car's maintenance schedule, but I would change it if you notice any abnormalities with...
It seems that the 93 Passat GLS I bought that had had the engine replaced has a 97 model year engine. Are there any significant differences between a 93 VR6...

I have a stock 2001 jetta vr6 and i am looking for what i should get for my car first for the best performance.I am thinking of purchasing a 75 shot of nos but...
A driving school will boost the performance of the "car" and will work on any car should he get rid of the Jetta. Its amazing how much different the same car...
You first have to ask yourself, "Why do I want to go faster?". Is it because you feel your car is too slow? Is driving a stock VR6 boring? Because you want to...
Chuck, You are right on target. It is much cheaper to buy the complete vehicle with the power/handling/whatever you want, than it is to make more than minor...

Alright. The first options are pretty obvious. Cold Air Intake. For the VR6 there have been proven gains to this. Not the best bang for the buck like NOS...
Im new to this list and I have to say that this reply was perfect. I had a 98 GTI VR6 and did most of these things and now I have a 92 Corrado VR6 and I am...
... *Somebody* just saw "2 Fast And Dumberer"! |-) ... Yup, that's the way I'd do it. ... A driving school is always valuable. However, IMHO, one would get...
... The difference that jumps to my mind is that the 93 VR6 is an OBD-I engine, whereas the 97 is an OBD-II. The chief difference is that OBD-II has more...
