I have a 1980 rabbit convertable. I just changed the alternator but is
still only charging at 12 volts. Does this car have a regulator? It
doesn't seem to have a ground wire either. Is that a problem.

I've encountered my first 'major' problem with the 337. I was driving
down the road the other day and my temperature warning light came on
and my temperature gauge was almost pegged. I pulled over, shut the
car off and let it sit for a few. Once the temp came down below half,

I am looking for a new engine for my 2000 GTI VR6. I live in the NYC
metro area. (Northern NJ to be specific) If anyone knows a reputable
supplier of VW engines I'd appreciate a point in their direction .
New, rebuilt, used etc.

Ok another question I need answered in order to get this classic on
the road. I just work on the break. All of them are bled and there
does not seem to be air in the lines. I just added the self adjusters
to the back breaks which the last people that worked on it left out.

Hi all.  I had the car washed this morning, and the attendant pointed
out to me (before the car went   into the tunnel) that skid plates on
my 2002 2.0L Golf had become dislodged.  Rather than driving around
with the things dragging on the road, he yanked them out for me and

I have a 1984 GTI Rabbit.  This morning the car started fine then died after
about 5 seconds.  It started right back up and then it died a few seconds

So I started it a 3rd time.  this time I held my foot into the gas pedal a

Just bought and drove 600 miles.  Need to tune up with ignition wires,
cap etc.  When going to web the parts stores list only the 1.6 and 1.9

night - the time/tempurature of the day doesn't seem to matter) the

the thing off!  Please help.
