    Hi all, Really frustrating here's my situation: Start car, not too slow to start, but the colder it is the longer it takes to "turn over" (I live in Phoenix AZ where cold is 50F/10C). Back out of my short driveway, get on street slowly hit the pedal then lack of power, stuttering, super...

    My mechanic just did a timing belt and water pump replacement on my 2000 1.8T. He said that it would be better to replace the serpentine belts for the alternator and a/c because the car is old. I tried looking for OEM belts but couldn't find any. Are 3rd party belts by Dayco or Duralast fine?

    I have a 2000 1.8l with a manual transmission. It seems to run fine but P1136 keeps coming up. I will clear the code but after about 20 minutes its comes back on. It also has a whining sound when you first start it up cold. It lasts for about 30 seconds or so, then goes away.

    Having a problem where when I come to the stop light or sign, once I get down to about 10 MPH the brakes begin to grind really bad ( like metal on metal) . I thought my pads were worn down but I looked at them today and they looked fine to me. They actually seems to have quite a bit of brake...

    I have a 2001 Passat 4motion V6 and there was a good snow storm here in knoxville,TN the other night.

The driver side was whole tire deep in the water and the passenger side about 1/2 tire deep. Engine did not shut off. Took me about 1 minute to figure out how...
