I installed a new main fuel filter in the same direction as the
previous one, although it seems to contradict my Bentley.
The Bentley wants the fuel going towards the tank.
I've got mine going towards the front of the car.

The rear nearside door on my 1998 1.4CL Polo is hard to open. It
unlocks fine but will then only open an inch or two. Then I gently
push it to and fro and it eventually opens correctly. It feels like
some problem of geometry but there has been no external damage to the

90 Golf 1.8 8v 130,000 miles:
Lately the car has been stalling at intersections very intermittently
(maybe twice a week- though it is increasing in frequency).  I've
recently done a backyard tune-up: plugs, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel

One of the washer nozzles on my wife's 97 Cabrio died.  I looked
around online and saw them everywhere for $36 ea- but they weren't
listed on the germanautoparts.com site & I like dealing with them
because they usually have great prices- and they're local so in a

I am hoping someone may have some insight into a problem which has
driven me crazy. My sister has a 98 Golf 2.0 Automatic w/ 75,000
miles. She had a check engine light on for a few months and ignored
until inspection time.

Dealer told me that these latches/locks are obsolete and he only found 2

Does anyone have a good one that they can ship to Chicago?
Are these locks that different on the later models?

I'm thinking of buying a used '02 Passat w/ 108k miles on a 1.8T
engine where the timing belt broke on the freeway. I understand that
there is a chance -- however small -- that the whole engine may need
to be replaced. I'd like to be prepared for the worst-case-scenario.

What do I have to do to convert my 1985 Passat to unleaded now that LRP is
finally disappearing from all but a few outlets in the UK? Any and all advice
would be welcome. Thanks.

Howdy,
I have no questions, but wanted to toss this info out into the ether

Hello to everyone

had a small radiator leak this past summer and I decided not to change the
radiator,

Did these folks go to the trouble of importing a European-spec Jetta
or did they just buy a Bora badge somewhere?
Or, has VW changed the name of the Jetta in the US?

My 2001 GTI VR6 now says, "Attacher Ceinture" sometimes when I start
it.  According to Babelfish, that's French for, "Fasten your
seatbelt".
I just had the ignition coil replaced, so I'm guessing that during the

This is getting painful, we are entering winter in the UK :(
On cold and damp (especially damp) days the car has a lot of
difficulty starting. I have changed the plugs and rotor arm and
covered the electrics in a damp start oil to keep the damp out of the

I have a '97 Jetta GLX with the VR6 engine.  My check engine light
came on and I took it to my mechanic and he said it was a secondary
injection error.  He checked the fan, changed the relay and found that
the fan wasn't getting a signal from the computer to turn the fan on,
