VW GTI

hey i got a 2000 golf. i got the same problem. but i still didn't figure out yet.

* Turn on ignition.

* Hold down Right trip button and continue to do so whilst turning off ignition.

* Still with Right trip button held down turn ignition back on.

* Release Right trip button.

* With ignition still on turn Left trip button to the Right and release.

* Turn off ignition.

yes,go to parts house look for tool to plug in to your cig.lighter it has the plug in for a 9volt batt.on it,this will keep enough power the e.c.m. so the program will not be lost. Actually you don't have to 'reset' it. It is very common for the battery terminals to be disconnected for various maintenance activities. That action is no different than replacing the battery. I actually replaced my battery in my 2000 GLS 2.0 two weeks ago. No problems. If you mean the head unit, the code is in your manual, just enter it in after your replace the battery.

You can find the diagrams in the relevant Haynes manual.

The gas tank on the 2008 Volkswagen GTI holds 14.5 gal..

Take temperature at radiator when at normal operating temp. to confirm that it is overheating

The VW GTI is currently manufactured in Germany for distribution to North American markets. There have been Beetles, Passats and Jettas made in the US previously and it is has not been definitively said what models will be manufactured at the plant opening in 2011 in Tennessee.

it should be by the oil filter, which is in front of the block

Yes, a Turbo requires a cooling down time. How long a time really depends on how hard the car was driven prior to wanting to turn it off. A turbo requires oil to circulate through it in order to keep it cool and lubricated. When you turn your engine off, the Turbo will continue to spin only oil will stop being supplied to the turbo unless the engine is running. THis can cause th turbo to heat up, and for residual oil still on the turbine blades to "cake" on to them. Over time, unless you allow a col down period, you will notice a substancial difference in the performance of your turbo. Most car manufacturers will not even mention this to you when buying a car with a turbo, and if they do, they will generally recomend a cool down period of 10 seconds. I would suggest 30 seconds after regular driving, and 1 - 1 1/2 minutes after hard driving.

To replace the flasher on a VW Beetle, locate the flasher under the dash on the driver's side. Remove the old flasher and replace with a new one. This is not a fuse, but a three prong plug in that looks like a small cylinder.

The 2003 Volkswagen GTI runs on premium unleaded (recommended).

The gross weight of the 2006 Volkswagen GTI is 3836 lbs..

The 2012 Volkswagen GTI is 13 ft. 9.8 in. (165.8 in.) long.

16V means the total valves in the engine. So the car in question propably has 4 cylinders and 4 valves per cylinder there for 16v More valves gives more power but higher fuel consuption...

a good product maybe like 15hp with computer reflash the best n cheaper way to get power of a vw is to take it to tunnig shop for a computer program like apr.

Requires a tool that not only pushes in the caliper but also rotates it as it goes in.

It is just the name of the car.

The 2006 Volkswagen GTI has double overhead cam (DOHC).

you can start like I did with simply replacing the stock air filter with a reusable and washable K&N air filter. they make a stock replacement filter that works with the stock air cleaner assembly. A low flow performance exhaust cat back system is the next logical step. This car doesn't have a real on board computer like today's cars, so chipping it is out. There are however performance upgrades you can make to the CISE fuel injection system. Really other than going to the expense of adding a turbo or rebuilding the engine with performance goodies like a cam and such, there's not a whole lot more than that. Your car will run its best and keep you on the road with more trouble free miles if you keep your expectations and your modification on the low side. The simple exhaust and air filter upgrades will be enough for you to see a slight performance and mpg increase. Good luck

All drive-by-wire cars (starting from 1995-2013) has an EPC light. EPC stands for Electronic Power Control which is controlled by the ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is a computerized hardware device with software to control all sub modules in the car that is connected by either an OBD II (on-board Diagnostics II) or Can Bus (Controller Area Network). Any input from these sub modules on the drive-train can activate the EPC circuit especially if the reason for sending its signals to the ECU, could cause damage to the engine. For example, if the car runs out of oil, or if the emissions exceed the prescribed level ect.... the sensor will send a signal to the ECU which will activate EPC circuit, cut power to the engine (limp mode). Limp mode signifies there is a problem and should be investigated. If not fixed, the EPC can ause the engine not to start unless corrective action is taken. See EPC solution at http://volkswagen-polo-highline.blogspot.com

Various metals and alloys, like steel and aluminium.

in the engine bay ;)

Pull the distributor cap, and turn the engine over. It you see no movement, the belt is broken.

it could last another 100k miles or it could die in 5k. There is no real way to determine as everything functions different and even maintenance will not always protect against something failing and causing catastrophic results.
