Hey guys, I have a 1996 Golf, and I am having an issue with it when I
accelerate from rest. When I push down the gas, the car dosn’t do
anything and then 3 sec. later it lurches forward, screeches tires and
drives away normally. I don’t know to much about cars so I’m not sure

Where/how can I find a way to get in to change the turn signal bulb on a
1999 VW cabrio convertable?

I have a 2002 Jetta TDI. What the car does is going along dow the
road, it stops allowing revs. I can mash the gas and the engine stays
at idle, no matter what. I have to turn the car off then back on to
continue on my trip. I have taken it to the dealer twice and the first

The battery on the key to my 2005 Caddy van (which appears to be identical
to my Golf key, so I presume it's a fairly standard item) is flat.
Can I replace it myself, or this a chance for my dealer to make some more
money out of me?

Wondering how chipped 1.8Ts are holding up in the long term?
[ A friend has had a 150bhp 1.8T chipped to ~225bhp for about 4 years
now. He thrashes it, but has had no major problems. ]

How do you handle an unscrupulous VW service department after they have
ripped you off? I've contacted my state's attorney general and they
steer you to The Better Business Bureau, which has no teeth. VOA takes
no responsibility for their dealers by saying they are independantly

Having owned two Rabbits and an 85 Jetta, I'm familiar with
VW's transverse engine, front wheel drive layout.
What other drivetrain layouts did VW use in models sold in
the US during the 1980's?
