VW Jetta

It is located on the side of the block next to the radiator, just above the A/C compressor.

i believe 5w-30 is recommended by the manufacutrer

Hi, I had the same problem some months ago, the speedometer needle would work most of the times when I just started the car, but after running some time it would fall to 0mph, (and suddenly would work again after passing some rough terrain, that is the standard here in Mexico). I solved the problem dismounting the dash board, opening the rear part, where the PCB is, (circuit board), and I found that some soldering joints were broken, so I took my soldering iron and "retouch" the soldering points just melting the solder, I do not recall how I find the points that were desoldered by the vibration of the car, but it was easy to guess which points were broken (visibly). It solved the problem with my speedometer. It could be the same problem that you have, but also it could be the sensor gear with a teeth broken.

The availability of diagrams will depend on a few variables including the year of your vehicle and how much of the vehicle is factory original. For original equipment diagrams, check your local auto parts stores for repair books for your specific vehicle published by companies such as Chilton's or Haynes. You may also order or download many repair manuals and individual diagrams online.

This happens sometimes with my car. It will set the alarm off when the plastic key comes apart. This is the case with a lot of vw keys. when the alarm goes off, i just push the plastic parts of the key back together and press the unlock button. I ended up glueing the key case back together and this stopped. It must send a signal when the device is apart from each other and once its back together, they key works and the alarm turns off. Hope this helps. Just make sure the plastic parts are connected on the key.

getting to the actuator is easy..... how to remove the rods attached to it is something else.....

better yet a plastic scraper or even a bondo spreader to get under the molding. and some general purpose adhesive remover and a razor blade to remove the tape (takes PATIENCE and dont cut yourself but its the quickest) Removing 2002 body mouldings: Get a hair dryer and put it on high. Put it on the moulding until it is very hot (a couple of minutes). Slowly peel off the moulding - heating a small section at a time. Remove the residual tape with reducer. Answer Most modern moldings are held on with double-sided tape. I always used a sharp putty knife and very carefully ran the knife along the tape between the molding and the panel. This requires patience. If you use the hair dryer method, you must be careful not to overheat the plastic or else the paint will peel. To reapply, remove all remains of the old tape and reapply. You can get this tape at any auto parts store.

I had the same problem with my car a couple of months ago. I would try calling your local Volkswagen dealership...chances are, it is a warranty issue and it will be free of charge!

what the headlight lights mean on the dash

The hookup is usually under the dashbord close to the steering column. If it is not in plain view, it will be under a removable panel approximately 4 or 5 inches by 6 or 8 inches,

With the light switch in the off position, slightly turn as if you are turning the lights on, while pushing in lightly, this will turn the "toggle" type tabs that hold the unit in place and then just pull out the unit, disconnect the wiring harness and install in reverse.

Depending on the age of the car I would call or visit either a) (New) the dealer, b) (3-5years old) the manufacturer-specific wrecking yard, or c) (ancient) the local pull-it yourself wrecking yard.

I would buy whatever parts they recommended, and then take apart the whole thing and fix it.

A Haynes (or equivalent) repair manual for your car (about $20 at the local auto parts stoor ) is a good starting point.

Remove the black sheet metal screw on the passenger side of the rubber boot on the brake handle assembly. Wiggle the entire plastic handle and boot off the brake handle. The button is about 1" x 1" x 3/8". It is tapped with a #10 x 24 thread and screwed onto the operating rod. The spring that locks the button fits onto the threaded rod and operates by pushing the button out to lock the handle in position.

I was able to repair the stripped button with epoxy. First you must take the tension off the spring by compressing the spring and tying it with very thin wire or fishing line. Slip the spring onto the rod and slip it into the notch in the stamped metal handle. Glue the button back on. Make sure it is aligned properly. Now wait 24 hours or so for the epoxy to set-up and harden. Don't forget to put a rag under the epoxy to catch any drips. After the exopy is hard, snip off the wire compressing the locking spring and pull out the bits with needlenose pliers. Reinstall the boot and reinstall the screw.

You have just saved about 380 bucks based on NYC dealer prices for parts & labor.

There is an AC fuse in the little box located on top of the battery. There are three fuses. If you are standing at the front of the car looking over the engine I believe it is the fuse on the left. 30 amp I think.

the air flow sensor is located right next to the airfilter box, it looks like a card, remember right next to the airfilter, it will be on your left.

Is the gas milieage ok, check bad grounds Mine has a bad O2 sensor, does the same thing. Does It take gas when you first start it and try to take off?

if i am not mistaken there is no "raditor cap" The cap that vents the radiator is on the overflow canistor. usually plastic, usually black. use the same safety precautions, getting burnt in not uncommon. do this when the engine is cold if possible. hope it helps. duboff

the vw engine code on most models is on the white sticker on the boot floor (sometimes in the spare wheel well). The sticker is a replica of the one on the inside front page of the service book.
