Replying to: backy (Jan 05, 2009 8:17 pm) What I meant was, why can't the VW dealer fix the brakes? The offer of buy-back suggests that they aren't too optimistic. This is primarily a hydraulic/mechnical system---everything is touch-able and replaceable. It's not like chasing electrons around the car.

Does anyone know of a dealer, vendor or website that offers VW parts/accessories other than local dealer? Sometimes even a dealer sells parts to out of state customers at wholesale prices. Thank You.

I always select a place which is PHYSICALLY close to my home to reduce shipping costs.

i have almost 55k miles on my car. it was driven by my wife for 80% of its life, and 20% by me. all i've had done on the car are oil changes every 4,000 miles, air filter every 20k miles or so, and tire rotations. i was planning on selling or trading in the vehicle when the MIL came on...but it wound up not being an issue (at least for now). so now i want to keep it for two more years before i get rid of it. can anyone recommend what maintenance i should get done on the car? do i need to get a transmission fluid change? flush? coolant change/flush? brake fluid change/flush? spark plugs? i just want the car to be in better shape for the next two years. thanks.

This issue has been going on since we bought this Jetta in July of this year when it had 87K miles. It has 93K miles now. The previous owner was saying that the last time it acted up was a year ago. I have a hard time believing him. An independent garage checked all stored codes nothing showed up related to this, cleared the codes, cleaned all connections thinking it was fix. When you turn the key, the lights are dim, it appear no strong current/voltage is going where it supposed to. In crank position, you hear a click, click, click while the dash lights go out. I replaced the starter with a Napa lifetime warranty brand, it ran fine for two weeks, and then acted up again. Replaced the battery and it did it again. Where is the clutch interlock switch on these cars? When it acts up, a jump start always makes the car crank if not right away, it does in a minute or so, or pushing and releasing the clutch 7-8 times while holding the key in crank position makes the car fire up also. One sign of not starting is faint flashers when the car is unlocked with the remote botton. If the light is strong, it is certain that the car will crank and start. In one not starting day, the mechainc stopped at my house, and showed me that the ignition wire was hot, the battery was good, and thought my replaced starter was bad. I find this possible but very unlikley. Joe
