    Hi all, I'm trying to drain out my gas tank due to it having possibly bad gas. I saw how much rust was around the area. It's gotten to the point where the clamps cracked off and the hoses are completely tight on it and I can't budge the large cap off. I think water / snow snuck its way up...

    Hi All, When I pull on the hood release, the hood no longer pops up slightly like it used to. I also remember hearing a certain sound from the hood latch when I pulled that hood release, now it's completely silent. To open the hood, I pull the hood release lever back then hold it in the...

    Still trying to remedy my "hard to start" issue which has been around since my timing belt change. Most often I have to repeatedly crank (6-7 times) before the car will start. During the cranking I can hear a POP from the exhaust. Once started, I'm seriously down on power. Seems like low boost...

    How well do you know your B5? How many filters can you find on a stock B5 1.8t car? fluid filters: air filters: For now, your answer should be only the number (preferably an integer) Once you hit reply, do not edit your post again. After sufficient time has passed, additional instructions...

    I use the cigarette lighter power a lot and one thing I've noticed is occasionally I have a gadget that pops out of it. I have a Whistler PRO 58 Radar Detector that I just bought and the plug will not sit in properly. It pops out or the power to the detector just stops (partial pop out)...
