just wondering if it`s worth getting VAG-Com for my 52 plate Passat.   I`m
not a huge tinkerer, but would like to be able to activate any extra
features on this car - remote window rolling, doors locking as I start
driving, that kind of thing.  Would this be possible using ...

Been about a year since I last serviced the MK4 golf.
Went into GSF to buy all the bits, air filter, oil filter, oil, plugs,
pollen etc. And noticed the brand name MANN on the oil filter ...made in
Germany. Just wondering what the reputation is like of this part. Looks like

Keeps overheating, solved by replacing thermostat , bottom hose heats fine

Corrado VR6 has recently starting stumbling badly after a hot start. Starts
OK but then the idle speed drops until it almost stalls at which point
something kicks in and the revs shoot up after which they start to die
again. This repeats maybe 3 - 4 times until all of a sudden the ...

Please could someone let me know the location of the flasher unit

I have a 1996 vw Passat GLX with 215/50 15 sizes tires. Does anyone

Hey ya'll. I got a 98 jetta 2.0.  It has a knarly engine knock for
about 1 to 2 min on cold starts. After that is sounds fine.  No knock
during heavy load (fast take offs or hills), only knocking on the cold
starts.  Where should I be looking to fix this?

Lately my 76 Rabbit has been having a strange clutch problem. When I push
the pedal down and start to release it, it feels like the clutch is
engaging immediately (the car kind of jerks forward like I released the
clutch). But if I continue to let the pedal up it disengages again ...

Crank the engine.  At around 1/4 second, sounds like its going to start (it

We have a Passat 2.0 litre sport (petrol, 2002) but there is only one
key. What options are available for getting a second (spare) key? Apart
from throwing money at VW, who I assume will want an arm and a leg for a
key.

In the USA, is VW currently offering a TDI in any model?

The seat heater in my 2003 Jetta wagon isn't working. The driver's
side works fine. Could this be something easy, like a blown fuse? If
not, what else?
Thank you very much.

to the new owner and kept BMW.
I recently took my 2003 Passat VW 1.8T in for maintenance.  The shop
ticket shows that the new dealer used Mobil 1 5/30 (or 0/30 -- I have

My wife took our 2004 Passat Wagon (standard) to the dealer for the 30K mile
service (we don't drive much), and they told her that it needs front CV
boots, and that it would cost $500. My questions are: 1) can a CV boot fail
that soon? and 2) does it really cost that much?
