Jetta - Volkswagen :: 2002 - Broken Sway Bar Links
My mechanic says I need to replace both front sway bar links on my 2002 Jetta....I am, of course, hesitant to do it at this price. How critical is it to replace? Can I get junk yard sway bars to make it cheaper? And can I do it myself (have no experience fixing anything....

View 9 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Noise At Startup / Bubbles On Dipstick?
My 2000 Golf 2.0 started making a bit of noise on start-up and also if I rev it to say 2000RPM and then when the RPM goes back down it will hear some sort of "knock". After the car heats up as far as I know the noise is not there anymore.
This only happened today so I though I would check the oil level. It is fine but the dipstick was almost completely covered by air bubbles.
Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Cup Holder Broken - How To Replace It
My son was getting out of the back seat and pulled his coat across the cup holder in the center console and broke it. The dealer said that I have to buy the whole arm rest for $1100. I can unzip the leather and there is two screws in the back that can be removed and the cup holder comes out. Can replace just the cup holder?

Our manual transmission 2000 Jetta's acceleration has begun acting weird. You raise the clutch and give it some gas, but the engine revs and there is a delay before it "catches" and begins to propel the car. What's going on?

I was checking the oil this morning before getting ready to drive (for an hour) to the in-laws for Christmas, and the Effing orange plastic dipstick tube broke about halfway down. Now I'm afraid to drive for an hour at highway speeds, for fear that a lot of oil might come out of that compromised Effing orange plastic dipstick tube part -- would you all agree that I should not drive the car? Figures this would happen on Christmas Eve when nothing is open.
Effing orange plastic dipstick tube!
Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Dipstick Funnel Broken
I bought a 1999 Passat 1.8T a few days ago. I noticed before I bought it that the dipstick funnel was broke but I knew it was only a $2 part. Today I bought the part at a local dealer and went home to install it. Problem is the old one is actually broke in half. One half remains on the dipstick the other half on the tube. I can't for the life of me get that thing off the tube. I have a inspection scheduled at the dealer tomorrow so if I can't get it off I will probably just have them do it.

View 1 RepliesJetta - Volkswagen :: 2000 VR6 Hard To Start In Warm Weather
My 2000 VR6 Jetta has an annoying problem of hard starting in warm weather. Last summer through fall when the weather was warmer, it would often crank but not catch. All winter it is fine. A jump will usually gets it after a while. Replaced the battery with limited success. I park in the shade whenever possible. It has the manf. alarm system, and, also, but not always, it is accompanied by key not turning off the alarm. Do not have remote. Replaced the Fuel Pump Relay. No success. Cannot predict, so I don't want to have it sitting at the dealer for days on end.

View 2 RepliesJetta - Volkswagen :: 2000 - Steering Rack Keeps On Failing - Coolant Leak?
Here are my questions.
1. What can cause repeated steering rack failures, which I am trying to dianose?
2. I found yellow spots in the snow that would come from the center of the vehicle (as opposed to near the wheels), could this be from the coolant system?
If you got that far, here is the relevant history. My wife drives my 2000 Jetta, its a nice car with repeated problems. One such problem is with the steering rack. 1. The steering rack failed in 2006, it was an expensive fix. It was leaking for a while, but I just topped off the fluid every couple of weeks. 2. Within a year the steering rack failed again, it was still under warranty. 3. 2 years later, the rack failed for a third time. I wrangled with the shop and they agreed to reduce my price for the fix even though the part was no longer under warranty. They had the car for a week trying to diagnose the problem, they said they found nothing out of the ordinary. I took the car to another mechanic a week later for some other issue, and he saw leaking from the fill plug--back to the dealer again. They said they cleaned the washers around the plug to fix the problem. No problems since then. Now its almost two years later and I have found a couple yellow spots in the snow, although near the center of the car and not near the wheels. This makes me think it may actually be a coolant leak, but I don't know right now.

I just finished putting a 7.3 back in one of our f450 plow trucks today, so then i moved onto our 2001 F250 5.4 plow truck. The dipstick tube was rusted in half so i pulled on the remaining half to get it out and put in the new dipstick. However, it broke off at the block. So now i cannot see how to get the rest out with out doing a lot more work. I haven't removed the splash guard yet but will i have to remove the manifold , the oil filter base, or both?
