Ford - Explorer :: 1998 - Backfiring / Smells Like Sulfur

My ford just suddenly started backfiring and started smelling like this sulfer kind of smell and knew I needed a new exhaust so I got a new tailpipe and muffler and problem still persisted so then I replaced the driver side catalytic converter because I had noticed after driving it that it was smoking after driving it. So now I've replaced that and i still got the smell and it just rides rougher and the check engine light is blinking after driving a couple minutes....

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 / VR6 - White Smoke / Smells Like Gas

Its a 2001 jetta vr6, 5 speed, electronic seats all leather with wood trim panels, and I am having quite the issue. When you turn on the car it has a rough idle around 600rpm but doesn't die out. it smokes like a banshee, white smoke. if you come back later and start it, no smoke until you give it gas. some times it doesn't smoke at all. misfire cyl 6 and 5, used to have 4 misfires but spark plugs did me justice, maf sensor low voltage output, bank 1 sensor 2 02 something or another, when i first got it, it would just chug and not smoke at all. the better its running, the more smokes it produces it seems. none of my coils have the rubber graumet around them anymore and all seem to be pretty shot regardless. I have no leaks underneath the car, coolant has no oil mixture in it all all, no visible leaks on the headgasket, and most of the time the smoke smells like gas, but its purely white. I am just wondering what could cause it, im trying to feel out more options before getting drunk and doing a headgasket. no oil loss, no coolant loss.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Only Passenger Side Fan Works

I just recently got a 2001 1.8t jetta. It was leaking coolant and only one fan would come on. Ive fixed the coolant leak. Only the passenger side fan comes on, and the AC blows hot as well. Ive checked the fuses on the battery and they are good.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Radiator Fan Wobbling?

I could hear a rattling noise under the hood. The passenger side fan would appear to be off balance or the bearing most likely is going out in it. I am having trouble finding a replacement fan for it. Can I replace just that fan, or am I looking at a new cowl complete replacement? What is the part numbers or a link about these fans. It is the passenger side fan that is malfunctioning.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Random Blue Smoke Out Of Exhaust / Smells Like Burning Oil

Only had happened a few times in the last month. I start the car and it idles okay. drive down the road and then come to s stop and there's some blue smoke. It smells like burning oil. it only has happens 2 times in the last 2 months. only when its really cold it has happend. If I rev it when its happening I can see a big plume of bluish smoke and it smells like burning oil. after i drive after that no more smoke.

car has 95k on it
never been chipped
car has full turbo back and intake
car does not burn any oil between oil changes. oil stays at the same level.
did break an oil pan about 4 months ago. when I replaced it no signs on sludge.
turbo boosts fine

Car has had a rough idle for a long time. only when its a cold start and only last about 20 seconds. When I boost it or redline the car which is very rare no smoke at all. I have always kept the oil more on the high side of full. I usually fill it right to the high mark on the dip stick.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rusty Passenger Side Rocker Panel

Recently I made a corrosion claim about some rust forming on my jetta. Long story short VWOA accepted to replace my passenger side fender and trunk, but refused to replace my passenger side rocker panel. Once all the warranty work is taken care of I would like to treat the rocker panel rust the best way possible. I'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on this procedure, but I don't want there to be a hole in my car by next winter.

Personally I'm thinking of sanding it all down, treating the rust, applying some paint to it, and then trying to protect the area a little more by investing in OEM side skirts.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Loud Whine On Passenger Side Of Engine

I have an 05 jetta 2.0 and I had a loud whine on passenger side of engine. I removed serpentine belt and ran engine briefly and noise was still there. Figured it was water pump or tensioner. and when I was changing timing belt, tension, and water pump I found it was the timing belt itself that was whining. It was OEM original belt with 140,000 miles on it. The belt was in very good shape no tears just used looking. Now engine is very quiet.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rattling Noise When Passenger Side Goes Over Bumps

I did my pads and rotors this weekend. On the fronts I had some difficulty with the passengers side retaining clip. It was stuck in on the bottom. I wound up bending it out of place trying to get it off, and eventually just removed the caliper without it.

I took it out for it's first regular drive today and there is a rattling noise when the passenger's side goes over bumps (could be front or back, hard to say). I have theorized that the clip is deformed enough that when it gets jostled, it bumps out onto the rim which makes it go twang (which would be consistent, it's a relatively high pitched rattle. I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but I'm not sure what I should actually do. Can I just clip it off? What purpose does it serve? I might be able to get it out with WD40 and bend it in to shape.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Clunk In Passenger Side Front Suspension?

I've got a "clunk" in my front passenger side suspension. I'm running stock struts with H&R sport springs that I put in about 10,000-15,000kms ago. The clunk is inconsistent and seems to only happen in the parking lot when I'm backing out of a stall. When I pull forward, I get a couple clunks coming from that side? Could this be tie-rod?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2004 - Coolant Leak On Passenger Side

I've got an '04 1.8t jetta with 158k on the clock. Recently noticed I have a coolant leak on the passenger side of the car. Started the car in my driveway and looked for drips and found coolant collecting in the front valence right underneath the intercooler. Took a look from the top and noticed the hose going into the bottom of the part shown in the picture is leaking like a sieve. It's the metal canister-type thing on the passenger side right next to the radiator. What part this is? And where I can get a new hose that connects to the bottom of it?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Front Passenger Side Wheel Tilting

So I just jacked up my car to check out how bad the bushings are on the control arms and the tire rod. They're bad. So I'm going to get the suspension stage 1 refresh kit from ECS.

Well I went to spin the passenger side wheel and I noticed that I can tilt it back and forth slightly, I checked the other side and couldn't do the same thing. I just got both wheel bearings replaced by a shop and I'm hoping its not the hub. This is just a CV joint or bushings or if it's actually the hub???

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rear Passenger Side Wheel Wasn't Spinning

Upon putting on my winter wheel i was checking if the bolts were too long and my rear passenger side wheel wasn't spinning. I took the wheel off and checked the rotor and it took a lot of force to spin because the caliper didn't go back. I took the brake fluid line out hoping it would decompress the caliper and it did not, and brake fluid leaked out a tiny bit. This leads me to believe that my caliper is bad. Just want to make sure before I order another one

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Coolant Leak On Passenger Side - Water Pump?

So my coolant system woes have continued! I recently replaced my thermostat ,thermostat housing, thermostat cover and all of the rings and gaskets. I finally stopped the leak on the driver side which seem to be the thermostat now about seven days later I am experiencing leaking on the passenger side. I walked out from work today and noticed I pool of coolant under the car. I can't tell exactly where it's coming from but it's coming from one of the components that runs off of the large belt. I snapped a few pics from the bottom of the car I don't think this is the actual component that's leaking. I think the leak is just falling off of it . I was wondering where the water pump is located.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Power Seat Stuck All The Way Forward

My power seat is stuck in the all-the-way-forward position. Seat has power to tilt and move up/down but will not move/slide back and forth. I am guessing there is a power cable that popped out when the seat was moved all the way forward.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Mirror Won't Adjust When Shifting Into Reverse

I have a 2000 Jetta GLX VR6, automatic, that I have been going over for my son. The passenger side mirror doesn't adjust when I shift into reverse. I moved up,(towards the top of the housing) a little. Shifted to park and then back to reverse and it moved up again and doesn't return. I have changed the mirror switch, the mirror motors, and have dis-connected all the electrical plugs on the transmission. I figured the plugs needed to be plugged and re-plugged to clean the terminals, but no luck. Is there a switch or sensor that needs to be replaced on the transmission? All the fuses are good. What needs to be done?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Wobble With Rumbling Noise When Accelerate

I've got this bad wobble that occurs when I accelerate its also followed by a rumble coming from the passenger side. A friend sitting in the pass also said she felt it under her feet. I have put in new control arms tie rods and ball joints, but before I put those parts in I had a vibration at around 50-75mph which is the reason I put in new control arms and ball joints. Then Driving after the new CAs In my Jetta was driving a bit more smoother but still small vibration under harder acceleration stress.

After taking a rough turn and minimal beating I now randomly have this pretty bad wobble and rumbling noise from 2nd-5th gear early in rpms, the more stress the Louder and rougher the wobble gets. I plan on getting an alignment this week, my only other thought would be an axle? I replaced my pass side axle less then a year ago because my original one snapped but it was with one from autozone...
