For the past couple of weeks, my '98 Golf has had some issues as
follows, and it seems to be getting worse.
The headlights go off as well as a number of other dash electrics,
including wipers, blower fan, A/C.  Thus far I haven't correlated this

We are about to embark on a long trip with our 1999 VW Winnie Camper.
62,000 miles excellent condition, brakes and cooling system flushed
(with correct replacement antifreeze) when we got it 30 months ago.
Per information we got from the seller, it had 'all services' done to

I have a 1996 Jetta GL with 82,000 miles. It is in need of various

that did pretty nice work on my wife's 2000 New Beetle, they called
this morning and ran the list. The total will be about $3,000.00;

Need some advice on next course of action to resolve the following
problem. My 2003 Jetta 2.0 GLS w/117K+ miles, check engine light will

I have a Polo, 2008 model, fitted with the 70PS (51kw) 3 cylinder diesel
engine and recently carried out a fuel consumption check, gaining some
results that surprised me.
Has anyone done similar checks, preferably for steady motorway driving at

Couple of things.  I have an 89 VW Cabriolet, 210k miles, as stated,
when I go to start the car it fires the immediately stalls.  When I
try to start with the accelerator pedal down, it starts then revs then
dies.  It takes several attempts to get the car running.  Once warm,

For some years (2-3), the alarm system has not worked. When the head
was resurfaced and put back in the car, the repair shop knocked off
(broke) the alarm switch in the engine compartment. Never fixed it.
I tried to start the car this evening, and the alarm went off. Had to
