I have an appradio 3, with the dash kit, and it has two clips on the top to hold the deck into place, but there aren't any clips on the bottom. So because of that, the bottom of my deck always pushes out.
View 1 RepliesI just installed an Alpine deck (single-din) in my 2002 VW Golf 2.0. When pulling out the factory deck, there are two wiring harnesses. One for the stereo itself, the other for the alarm.
The replacement deck doesn't have alarm settings. Question, after installing - I didn't connect the alarm to anything, just left it but now its disabled!! Is there a way to rewire so the alarm still functions without the stock stereo?
My 2000 Jetta 2.0 has a coolant leak. I searched and found a lot of mentions of the flange on the driver's side, and I have coolant dripping from the bottom of the car in a location that seems consistent with that, but I felt all around the flange and the hoses that are connected to it and it feels dry.
Where else could it be coming from? (yeah, I could jack it up climb under and look, but I haven't had time yet). I also seem to have an oil leak around the same location, but the dipstick tube was cracked near where it went in to the engine so I'm hoping that was the source of the oil.
My washer fluid leaked out of the bottom of the reservoir and I would like to pull the fuse because it keeps beeping it is low. obviously. I do not have a rear wiper as it is shaved so #27 fuse is out and I was wondering if I pulled # 24 if that would stop the damn sensor or if I can pull something else, maybe just unplug it from the reservoir. I find myself using it never so I wont be fixing it anytime soon.
View 1 RepliesEver since I bought my 2000 mk4 golf I've had this super loud hissing noise coming from the bottom of the car. Almost like someone is spraying compressed air when your foot is on the throttle. Sound gets louder the more you depress the pedal. Had a catalytic converter code so after a few months I bought a new cat, welded it on, and the sound fairly went away. Still present, now months later the sound is now a bit louder but It's gotten on my last nerve, I want to fix it but I can't seem to figure out what that noise is.
Almost sounds like my car is a classic beetle by the way it accelerate at times. The car is sort of sluggish than normal at times, no codes, no lights, sometimes peeling out in 1st gear the car hesitates like I have regular power, then I have this sudden burst of 1 second power then back to normal until I shift then I never feel it again until I'm back in 1st and WOT it. Car does smell like gas a little sometimes, not too prevalent but nonetheless noticeable especially going in reverse. My gas meter seemed to fluctuate at times, I may have a bad pump maybe, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I just bought a 2004 Jetta and noticed the bottom of the engine does not have a lower belt guard... I can just see the serp belt spinning. I feel like there should be some kinda guard to protect it from Weather and debri? It's a 1.8T.
View 4 RepliesI have coolant leaking from the bottom of this hose on my brothers car. I am not very familiar with the BEW's as I drive an ALH. Just looking for info about part number or name on this hose so I can get a new one. Has a part number MH3364 on it but that is not working anywhere.
View 2 RepliesI started my 05 prius this morning, and it starts up and is running in normal time. But there's a constant long beep tone that doesn't shut off and after it starts it shoves the break pedal back out while my foot is still trying to keep it depressed. There's a brake light that is on after, but no error icon on the display. I didn't try driving it to see if it lets me, because of something possibly wrong with the brakes. What might cause this?

It has almost push me into a other car in front of me. I can put it in neutral to keep it from dying but it is idling just fine. When I put it back in drive it acts just fine not trying to push the truck.
View 1 RepliesSo I jacked up my car on stands to put in my dogbone mount insert yesterday, and my friend noticed this hole on the bottom of my transmission:
He said if you look inside you can see gears and (his words) "They look pretty dry". Is this just an inspection hole? I imagine if there was some kind of catastrophic fluid loss my transmission would shift weirdly/not at all. But so far it seems pretty normal. Its a MT btw.
Got my car over the weekend and didn't drive until today as I was waiting for the insurance paperwork to clear. Opened my door this morning to find a nice stream of water coming out of a hole (drainage?) at the bottom of the door. It was a good amount of water that came out, and I could hear water in the door when I closed the door.
Opened all the other 3 doors and had a nice puddles of water next to each door. It was raining here Monday and Tuesday. Is there supposed to be that much water just sitting in the car after a rain? I feel like I've never seen that much water come out of a car's cervices a day after rain.

I have recently bought a MK VI Golf and my brother hit a metal bin while he was trying it out. This cracked the indicator lens and the indicator is broken. I'm trying to replace the bottom housing which is stuck with the indicator, however I can only find videos on removing the upper cap or removing the actual mirror. The part I have bought to for the replacement is this:
View 4 RepliesI've recently started to get water in my hatch area on the driver side rear pillar. I've looked at the DIY to replace the hose and everything, but I've also read that the problem could be a clogged drain plug, which requires you to pinch the debris out pretty much. I've looked under my car, but for the life of me I cannot find the plugs whatsoever. I searched on here but only found where they are located on a Jetta, which looks way different than the undercarriage of an.
View 7 RepliesIt seems that after it rains water gets "stuck" inside the drivers side door.
Once i open it, a steady stream of water rushes out from this spot indicated by the red arrow below.
Is this normal? Shouldn't the water just normally flow through and exit the bottom at all times?
Come out to the this am and notice a small puddle that was not there last night. Pull the car out and it's start burning something off. Roll the car in first thought is oil (maybe the turbo return line is leaking) no its coolant. On the lower portion of the down pipe and running across the bottom. I'm at a loss as where the leak could be coming from being back there.
View 6 RepliesJust a heads up to all MKIV GTI owners out there, new and old. If you feel like the tension on your clutch pedal is deteriorating get it checked earlier rather than later. Because if the slave cylinder malfunctions and leaks you will be faced with a big repair bill due to the fact that the slave cylinder is located inside the tranny. Secondly because of this design, which I think is very stupid, it leaks onto the clutch assembly and can get on your clutch plate. At that point you should replace the clutch plate to prevent any further damage that might be caused by slippage. The clutch plate should not come in contact with any fluids or it will compromise the functionality.
