I have a '91 vw golf and the ecm has blown. I need a new one and am
having trouble finding one. I've checked around online but the price
ranges from $30 - $800 for the same part??
It's 037 906 022cs

I've met quite a few people who still have this problem.  You may not
expect this response, but BRING IT TO THE DEALER.  Many scirocco's and
cab's may suffer from this problem 1987-93, but it is still a RECALL.
Bought my $900 Scirocco 16v with more than 200K on the non-working

I have a 2001 Passat 1.8T manual transmission with about 95K miles.
I do an oil change every 5K miles, did the plugs at 60K, put a new
battery in at 80K, and recently replaced the air and pollen filters.
I  know the timing belt is recommended to be replaced at 105K.

The old diesel Sharan 90bhp is a bit under-powered.
Is it possible to boost the power from 90bhp to 110/115bhp
without it costing too much ?
Any suggestions ?

I've vowed never to own anything newer than a '95. since I don't care
for computers ..on my desk or in my car, but reality is setting in.
Vacuum gauges, compression and leak down testers and the oh-so rare
(anymore) oscilloscope is my domain of expertise.

Hello there - I was going to replace my standard Sony Radio/Cassette with an
Alpine cd changer. I got the old one out using the removal keys, connected
up the Alpine (it had compatible plugs) but found it only to work with the
ignition OFF! Basically it works with one turn of the ...

This could possibly be the most obscure question pertaining to this
group to-date.
Does anyone know what the angle (measured in degrees) of the rear seat-

two weeks ago, on my way from from work, my jetta was losing coolant
due to broken hose, got overheated and stalled right after i had
parked it. now it will crank but won't start.

I'm purchasing a Golf GTI 1.8T W reg Mark 4 from Bradford and the
seller has told me that the Engine mount is possibly broken or on its
way out. (The Engine mount at the back of the engine).
I don't know much about golfs at all but I have driven a volvo from

I have just taken delivery of a new 2007 Passat.  I could not get the xenon
option without waiting 4-6 months.  So I took a chance on the regular
headlights and they are very dim.  has anyone replaced the standard bulbs
with something better, or taken any other option.

Hey All,
I asked this question last week, and perhaps I didn't define it well
enough - so I'll try again.
If I wanted to build an enclosure in the trunk of my 2000 Jetta GL

I've got an '84 vanagon with what I'm assuming is a bad pilot
bearing.  I am planning on doing the job myself but I need directions
for how to drop just the back end of the transmission to allow access
to the engine.  I'm sure I remember seeing this somewhere before but I

I have an 84 Rabbit with the 1.7 liter, carburetor engine.
I changed the timing belt at about 80,000 miles and I now have about
145,000.
I was just wondering... if it breaks, do I damage the valves?

the brake lights on my Golf are not working.
I checked the fuse and bulbs.
The reverse lights also seem to be out.  Any ideas?
