    Anyone here have any trouble with long term use of the orange Rain-X windshield wash causing your washer fluid light to come on? I did some searching and it seems that this orange Rain-X liquid can leave a residue that coats the sensor. It sounds like hot water flushed through the reservoir is...

    Hi! We've been noticing the car jerking a bit for the last few days... Today after work I noticed that the car would stick to first gear (basically power wouldn't go to the wheels for a few seconds). So I go pick the wife up from work and all of a sudden the car won't get out of first gear. I...

    My 03 triptonic is leaking tranny fluid. Dealership says it is where the lines connect to the tranny. Need o rings replaced. Looked at my Bentley manual and it doesn't look too complicated. Is there anything blocking access? Dealership quoted me about $600. Ripoff?

    I'm replacing both rear calipers today. When trying to install the new one on the passenger side there is an unsolvable leak coming from the sides of the rectangle thing that is around the bolt that screws into the caliper. This leak did not exist with the old calipers and it seems to continue...

    The old one is breaking apart in pieces so I ordered a new one along with the high dollar grommets that go underneath. I've got an 03 Passat Wagon with 1.8t auto. The current reservoir has very little in the bottom and I was wondering… If I take the old one off and replace it and the grommets...

    Hello, I had the PSP replaced and I'm not sure if the shop used the factory type mineral oil or CHF. I think they used some basic power steering fluid. Immediately after they started the car it was just blowing foam in the res. They claim the part was faulty from the box. It was a reman from...

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on how long an opened bottle of brake fluid will be good for. It's the VW stuff that comes in a cylindrical metal bottle. I've had mine since February this year. I tried searching, but perhaps I wasn't creative enough with my search terms... Thanks...
