12v vr6 in my 2000 jetta. 174,000 miles, just recently got it, has cel and couple other lights, and the obd2 scanner I have will not work on it. Car wants to die after a big rev, and sometimes while driving. Not sure what the problem could be.
Will be taking it to autozone to see if the scanner works.
I recently purchased my first car/jetta. When i switch the knob to turn on the instrument lights on my 2000 jetta the headlights don't come on. But when i turn the knob off the auto headlights turn on. Any insight on this? when i first got the car everything was working fine. It only started to happen after I replaced the radiator.
View 6 RepliesI'm driving a 03 1.8 jetta with no mods. Whenever my Jetta sits for more than 24hrs, I have a hard time starting it. It turns over just fine but sputters to a stall once it fires. I do this 3 times before it revs high and stabilizes.
I changed out the coil packs, fuel filter and spark plugs. I can hear the fuel pump prime before starting so I assume that is working fine.
I dont notice any issues while driving either. Its just the start up. It particularly acts up in cooler temps and higher humidity (raining days too).
Both left and right tail lights don't work but brake lights and reverse work fine. Fuses look good and bulbs are fine. Could it be related to the 'circuit board' type housing that the bulbs are in? If it is, are they in series meaning if one goes bad the other side won't work either?

I have a 04.5 gli 1.8t. When I start the car in the am and give it some gas to go it sputters for a couple seconds and then goes just fine and I have no more issues with it. Where to start looking? No trouble codes thrown either...
View 10 RepliesSo I have a 2005 GTI 1.8t and I just recently had a new fuel filter/fuel pump installed.. Now ever morning when I go to start it it starts really hard.. once it's starts it runs fine it just takes me a couple cranks to get it started....
View 6 RepliesI've noticed that my turn signals/hazard indicators don't flash on my car when I release the trunk or lock and unlock the doors. I have 2 friends, one with a 2000 like mine and one with a 99.5 that do, and all the newer models I encountered at the car lot I used to work at did as well. I always figured it was a mid run model revision until I noticed my one friend's doing it, then I noticed the other.
View 9 RepliesUpon starting the car this morning this was displayed -
There was no driving done. The car was turned off, and turned back on a few minutes later and the message was no longer present. The overnight temps were around -15*F, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. There was no other message displayed, but the coolant light flashed for a couple of secs during the initial start but not the follow-up. Coolant level is normal, and wasn't frozen.
Does it come on for multiple reasons or only one?
'm a former 2004 Jetta GLI owner...looking to get back into the game with a 2013 GTI. One thing I'm confused about is the GPS screen size. Many of the cars I've seen, including my friend's 2013 GLI has the RNS315 with a very small display. On the VW website it shows a much larger display in some of the photos, and I'm pretty sure I've seen a larger display on some of the GTI's I've seen in my neighborhood.
View 3 RepliesI'm probably missing something but after tweaking around a bit I still don't see how to get my grouped playlists displayed in the (non-NAV) audio interface. What comes up are all the individual songs and I have to scroll down through them all to find what I want in a particular album/playlist. I'm hoping there's a "non-obvious to me but nonetheless easy" way to get it displaying album by album rather than piece by piece.
View 4 RepliesI have a 2000 Hyundai Accent that just started not filling up. The pump kicks off every couple seconds. From reading other posts it sounds like its the evap canister (wife would often top off the tank). The question is, does the evap canister need replaced or do the hoses need cleaned? Is there an easy way to get the hoses off?
View 4 RepliesA couple weeks ago I bought a 2001 VW Jetta with 176,000 miles on it. The car runs well, but for the past four days this has been happening:
Every time I start the car, after it's been off for a couple hours, neither the gas nor the brake pedal work. I can push them down, and I hear the car trying to respond but it doesn't do anything (well, it does move a little, as though it's in neutral). Then, when I turn the car off and then turn it immediately back on, both pedals are back to normal and work perfectly fine again. It's happened every time I start the car for the past few days.
I'm having problems with my abs. I recently had my front left Barring replaced an when I got the car back the abs light was on. So I asked the guy what the problem was he said it's just a abs speed sensor. So I have been driving it an I hear a quiet scratching sound, definitely metal on metal. So I took my tire off an found a line in the back of my rotor. Perfectly circler an about 1/16 depth. I brought it to my dads buddy's shop with a new abs speed sensor it said mine was fine he cleaned it off and if there's a problem come back. So I've been looking into an I'm wondering if it's the abs control module that I need but why is it only happing on the front left?
View 5 RepliesMy esp/abs lights on my dash are on.The sensors are functioning properly , I've been told that there must be a break In the wiring somewhere. How difficult is this to trace. Is it the harness that goes under the wipers etc? Does the plastic tray under the wipers just pop off?
View 4 RepliesMy abs and tcs lights have been on since I bought my jetta. I had to take the wheel off to change my ball joints and noticed the pads the PO had used didn't have the wear sensors. He had just twisted the ends of the old senors together and ziptied them up. Would this cause my abs/tcs lights to come on.
View 4 RepliesI just recently my dash lights went out. As well as the left orange light up front and my left running tail light (brake light comes on still). Where did you start to trouble shoot this?
View 4 RepliesSo i have been looking to get some new headlights with the projector housing but noticed that most of them have a fog light which my car does not have. I know in order to get them to work properly i would need the euro switch, but would i need to run additional wires through the firewall?
View 8 RepliesWhat could cause both the ASR and ABS lights to stay on? I thought it had something to do with the crank sensor, because a few things i have seen said that was one of the fixes, but I just put a new crank sensor in, but the lights are still on? 03 GTI 1.8t AWP.

The thing that is bugging me is that the sai pump is still running. On cold start it literally sounds like a Dyson vacuum. What i should try.
