'98 Cabrio, manual trans. I just replaced the thermostat (wasn't opening,
caused serious overheat problem). About the same time the overheat problem

I've visually inspected the gaskets and mating surfaces, and all seem to be

drivers door - I am tryng to find a 2nd hand one   - Red would be good .

I found a 1997 Cabrio GLS with just over 50k miles on it... except
that it's about 2 years older than I'd originally hoped to get (I kind

pads need replacement. Shouldn't be a big deal, I've been doing my own
brakes for years. Question is, how do you retract the rear calipers? Some
instructions I've seen seem to indicate using a big press-type ...

I'm thinking of buying a certified used VW and am concerned about experiencing
the ever frequent sensor, foul the converter, mega repair bill syndrome. When I
do research at Edmunds it says that the emissions warranty expires after

I am currently considering buying a Touran Van Diesel - but if this model

I've looking to buy a 2004 Jetta. Last week I test drove one with the 1.8T
engine. When I asked the salesman if it required premium fuel he said no. Is
this really the case?
Also, is there a huge difference in performance between the 1.8T and the

A friend of mine has an early '99 Passat (2.8l V^, 5-sp automatic) and has
a case of what sounds like faulty brake activity.
Specifically, the brakes seem to be actuating by themselves every once in
awhile. He says he's noticed it mostly on the expressway - he'll be

After burning up my alternator belt, I did as instructed and the alternator
seemed to turn freely,  so I figured I'll buy a belt, and put it on, check
and see how that runs (92 Jetta).
So there's 3 belts on this thing
