#5517 of 6249 Emissions Malfunction? by mexjetta2000 Dec 30, 2007 (5:26 pm)
I am in the middle of a 2,500 mile road trip and today while on the freeway heard and felt a huge bang or knock on the drivers side of the car, then noticed when I pulled over that the MIL (malfunction indicator light) was on. I understand this relates to the car emissions system - is it something I should have fixed immediately, or can I complete my trip without damaging the car and take it to a reputable repair shop where I live?

#5518 of 6249 Coolant issues! by nate27 Jan 06, 2008 (8:26 am)
I have a '00 Jetta VR6, GLX, manual. A bit over a month ago I had to replace the water pump for the cooling system. Prior to the repair my coolant was low and I bought some Pentosin coolant (the right kind, the name escapes me--G18 or something). After paying about $500, I drove the car from the West Coast to the East Coast of the States, with no problems whatsoever. This morning, when starting the car, the oil light came on on the dash and then it told me to "STOP" cause my coolant was low. I checked it and it is the lowest it has ever been-about a cm in the pan. It has never been this low, do you guys know what the heck is going on? It's a bummer cause over the past year, I have had 2 major repairs and do not want to put anymore money into this car, especially for something I thought got fixed. Plus, I'm no longer in California where I got it fixed. Thanks!

Replying to: mexjetta2000 (Dec 30, 2007 5:26 pm) I had the same thing happen to me while driving to another state. Due to the loss of power in my car, I got it repaired immediately. The shop told me it was not a huge deal, but pretty much just an expensive tune-up (around $700!). I was informed fuel was getting into the catalytic converter, thus causing the car to chug, the light to come on and the loss of power, especially in the lower gears. To be safe, I would say get it fixed to avoid having an even more expensive repair to replace your catalytic coverter. Sorry man.

Replying to: ccostable (Oct 25, 2007 11:55 am) Vier did you git dat cah? I have a 2000 VW Jetta and it takes a special tranny fluid ( Store said "SLF") that is at dealership. There's no dip stick and I was stumpped. It must be in engineers' ear. Had me saying "Fahrgenugen". I hear they use a pump to put fluid in. I am glad that you say there is another hole because maybe I can run a tube and funnel. I don't know how much to put in. Maybe they pump it all out and add a set amount. Clueless.

Replying to: keenan2089 (Jan 06, 2008 8:08 pm) Most VW automatic xmissions require you to connect up to the computer port to ascertain proper fluid level... just another GREAT reason to convince the wife to let you order a VagCom.

#5523 of 6249 Back locks! by krystian Jan 15, 2008 (6:17 pm)
Hi there!   I have a 2002 2.0.   My problem is that my back locks will not Unlock or lock with my remote or when i press the lock button in the main driver console. the only way to unlock them is to open the door from the inside and the only way to lock them is to push the lock manually. Sometimes the back left one works , most of the time not..   This is very annoying due to the fact that if i dont remeber to lock them manually the the alarm will not arm and lock them when im walking away. ... any solutions to this problem?   Thanks in advance!!!!!   Krystian Replies to this message: krystian (Jan 16, 2008 2:58 pm) pat (Jan 16, 2008 2:59 pm) mayl (Apr 15, 2008 12:55 pm)

Replying to: krystian (Jan 16, 2008 2:58 pm) This is a general Maintenance and Repair thread which covers all Jetta problems - this is where the folks are hanging out who can help you. Posting a problem in a new discussion means fewer people will see it.   Hang in here - we'll try to help.

Replying to: bpeebles (Aug 02, 2005 3:26 pm) I just started having the same problem in my 2001 Jetta TDI. What happened with yours? My dealer says it's the differential & they want to charge me $5K to fix it. I found TSB 370102, but they said this was not for the issue I'm having.
