seat is not working. The passenger seat works, the fuse is good. Help, the
winter is here and leather without heated seats, sucks! Thanks!

I need to replace the control arm.   Figured I would replace both sides as
the bushings are not in that great shape.  I found a great package, control
arm both bushings, ball joint and all the hardware for only $44 per side.

My Jetta GLX VR6 Automatic has been hard shifting from 2nd to 3rd at
slow speed, approx. 25mph. This only happens when I go from a stop to
driving. As the Jetta begins it shifts from 1st to 2nd fine, then from

Within the next 6 months, I'll be courting several VW dealerships to
locate me an example from the tail-end of the last generation of
Jetta.
That's right - a '03-05 of the generation before the current.  No

Thanks a lot for helping me out when I installed my new dual downpipe
exhaust. She sounds fantastic now. Far better than the previous rattle

I just replaced all the belts and water pump on 2000 Passat w/1.8T ATW
engine.  The only hitch is that there are two extra 5mm socket head

the extra bolts bug me.
