Vickie is being a real bitch. :banghead: She's a 2001 VW Passat 1.8t AUG manuel who is throwing out codes p0012 and p0010. This isn't the first time. Last June I began randomly losing power as I drove... it progressively got worse (one a week, to daily) until finally the car would not start at...

Hey all! Last month, I noticed that the driver's door lock mechanism was acting up on our '05 wagon. The door lock button would lock all but the driver's door, and no lights or buzzers would come on when the driver's door was opened. Sometimes everything worked as it should, but most of the...

Yo there. Yesterday I was getting back from the grocery when my IDLE became pretty rough. The engine didn't stall but it was amazing how nuts the RPM gauge on the cluster performed. I pulled over for a moment and when I tried to get back to the street the car was completely out for power. As...

My control arm broke as i was coming off the highway. Luckily nothing bad happened. I was a little shaken up. It was totally my fault for not fixing it right away. I knew it was making sounds for awhile now. I'm a little bummed because the wife does not want me to fix it, and she wants me...

I don't know much about the authenticity of these reports. It could be that one journalist stated his opinion and others just copied for clicks, but allegedly, rumor has it that VW may kill the Beetle after its current production cycle comes to an end in 2018. A similar rumor came out about a...

Hi everyone, Last August I had a 2003 GLS 1.8T B5.5 wagon with ~146,000 miles fall into my lap for a song. It ran just fine, but the original owner wasn't much for maintenance (among other things, he'd never done the timing belt). So needless to say, I've had this car in pieces in my garage...

04 - 1.8T auto front wheel drive 162,000 miles While cleaning the throttle body this weekend I noticed quite a few small metallic "particles" and some oil inside the rubber tube coming from the inter cooler to the throttle body. Partials could just be trash that got there maybe but where is...

I don't really know. The battery compartment was flooded though. I think the TCM is jacked up. :hmmm: But it's cheap. We'll see. Lastly, if you were building a fence and you dug the hole and anchored the first post, the next one you worked on would be... (the second post) LOL
