Hi all, was wondering if you guys knew when to replace a flywheel. My 96 Jetta VR6 is slippin really bad and will rev up to like 3500 rpm before it catches up....
The flywheel is usually not replaced when a stock clutch is replaced, only resurfaced. Your local dealer or mechanic will know where to send the flywheel for...
That's a lot of slip! How many miles? Is the rear main seal leaking? You should probably replace that along with the timing chain and guides. -Paul ... From:...

If you stick with the stock flywheel (not a lightweight flywheel), you can get it resurfaced for a small fee. Most machine shops handle flywheel resurfacing...
Hi Folks- I have a 1996 GTI VR6. About 170,000 miles on it. It has recently developed a clunking, shudder noise when I back up (like out of a parking spot)....
Does the clunking get faster as your car moves faster in reverse? My guess is that you may have broken a tooth on the reverse gear. I would have the car...
I have a stock setup, from my 1995 GTI VR6, here in Sacramento that I can let go for $150.00. Brian ----Original Message Follows---- Does the clunking get...

Hi guys, I know this question is a little bit obvious but something tells isn´t that simple. My temp gauge is going too high, 230! Since I bought this car the...
Does sound like a thermostat to me. If you can't change it immediately, but still need to drive the car, try turning the 'HEAT' on full blast when driving....
Got this same advice. Had the thermostate and housing replaced, @ $700. No change. Then got a suggestion that the overflow bottle cap might be bad. Before i...
$700?!? I'm sorry to hear that, Gary. It's around $80 in parts and an hour or two to swap it. Replaced mine a few years ago and haven't had any problems...
