What is the best way to increase horsepower on your 03 1.8t jetta?

The BEST way is to buy a VR6 VW that was rolled, rear-ended, T-boned or otherwise wrecked in a way that didn't mess up the front of the car, and swap everything in front of the windshield between your car and the wrecked one.

The best way that doesn't require you to be an ASE Master Technician is to change the chip in the ECU and replace the exhaust system.

I went to Advance Auto Parts, they sold and installed a bulb for my 2009 TDI Jetta - took all of five minutes. The guy knew what he was doing, pulling work gloves from under the counter - total cost $16 (he said the Sylvania bulb was OEM replacement).

What happens when a mass air flow sensor goes bad?

High Fuel Consumption

Halious-Other problems are, severe drop in power, inability to accelerate, stalling out, & your wallet gets a lot lighter(Cheapest one we ever replaced at my shop was $298 at cost.) Despite the important sounding name it's easy to replace. It lies somewhere between the air filter & the throttle body buy a new one and compare it to parts you see along the air intake system(A lot of German cars like VW & Audi put them in the air filter box bolted to the top section that you lift off to see the air filter. Chevy likes to put them right in front of the throttle body. Usually prettty easy to find & work on.). A few bolts, & a couple wires. At least save yourself some money on labor costs.

Note: Mass air flow sensors can be cleaned to restore performance in most cases without having to replace them. The hot wire variety can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, electrical contact cleaner, or aerosol cleaners specifically designed for Mass Airflow Sensors . NEVER use carburetor or throttle body cleaner as these are too harsh for the delicate platinum wires. There are many cleaning methods that can be found by an internet search. In rare cases, your car may have a Karman-Vortex type air sensor and these cannot be easily cleaned and are more often found on cars that are either turbocharged or supercharged. When your mass air flow sensor goes bad, it cannot react properly to changes in the air entering your engine, so it will provide either too little or too much gas for your airflow, causing issues such as hard starts, rough idle, sluggish throttle response, and pinging.

What type of oil does a 2001 VW jetta 1.8 turbo take?

Should your cooling fans be running all the time?

By fans, I assume it has more than one. One of these fans will run continuously when the A/C is on. The other fan should only run when needed to cool the engine down. In stop and go city driving in the summer with the A/C on, both fans may very well run continuously. At highway speeds, only the A/C fan should normally run. Sounds like you need to have your cooling system serviced. A complete drain and flush of the cooling system and a replacement of the thermostat may help. Also make sure the radiator external fins are clean and not clogged with bugs and debris.

What is wrong if air will not flow from proper vents in a 1992 Buick Park Avenue?

Make sure there is vacuum going from the intake into the inside of the car. If it is, the problem is in the programmer and needs to be checked out by a mechanic. There is a small metal black box 1"x2"x1" with about 6 hoses running into it on the top of your intake manifold, and most likely a disconnected hose coming from a big black plastic box on your firewall, your vents don't open from the magic buttons on the dash, it uses the vaccum from the intake.....that same problem boggled my mind for about 3 months till I was changing the spark plugs one day and found a hose that went nowhere =P

What could cause a lean condition and random misfire in a 2001 jetta 1.8t?

There are a number of causes. A good approach is to buy/borrow a Code Reader (ODBC-II) and see what errors the car's computer reports. Some auto parts stores will read your codes for free. Then, search the internet for that fault code and your year/make/model. You'll probably find the answer quickly.

How do you change spark plugs on a 1973 vw?

With great difficulty.

No, seriously, you do them one at a time. Pull off the boot for the plug wire and you'll find the plug inside a hole in the tin. Unscrew the plug with a wrench and remove it. Gap the new one to 0.030", apply antiseize to the threads, screw it in and torque to 25 lb-ft, then put the wire back on. The number-one plug is kinda tricky to get in, but it will go.

What would cause the oil light to blink and beep in your 2002 VW Jetta 1.8T when the oil pressure and levels are fine?

The oil pressure is low. Drop the pan and replace the oil pump. The screen on the pickup could be sludged up, indicating poor service habits. VWs will sludge up if you neglect to change the oil at the intervals recommended. VW will generally not honor any warrantee in this case.

Why would a humming noise be coming from under the hood of a 2003 Jetta only when the AC is on and blowing cold and the car is stopped in traffic if the noise goes away upon acceleration?

The frequency at which the compressor is rotating happens to resonate at the idle speed. You could try spraying some WD-40, or PB Blaster around the pulleys, BUT NOT ON THE BELT.

Hope this helps, if so recommend contributor.
