Replying to: WilsonFL (Jan 20, 2009 5:26 pm) We really need to get word out there guys. Please email me if you or anyone you know that has had this problem. The list is growing and I've contacted the firm that was responsible for the VW/Audi lawsuit.   Thanks!!   Chris Ingle wtknght1aol.com
#5958 of 6278 I NEED HELP WITH MY SPEEDO!!! by aly1523 Jan 21, 2009 (6:47 pm)
I've got a 2002 Jetta 2.0 automatic, when I get passed 60 mph my speedometer likes to flutter back and forth, and it will not go past 70 mph. It is always 5-10 mph off. I can not use my cruise control because of it, any ideas? Replies to this message: mattyp33 (Aug 17, 2009 6:52 pm)
#5959 of 6278 Door Problems by Wwillt Jan 26, 2009 (10:05 am)
My driverside door will not open. I just started this this past weekend. I just bought a keyless entry switch but did not have it with me. The door would not open from the inside nor the outside. The door button goes up and down with the turn of he key from the passenger door outside and inside with the switch; but the door will not open. Oh yeah my car is a 97' Jetta VR6.

Replying to: Wwillt (Jan 26, 2009 10:05 am) What is the climate like where you live? When I lived in Canada, sometimes the lock and door would freeze shut. The lock button would go but when the keyless entry was activated but the door would not open. if you live somewhere warm then disregard.

Replying to: Wwillt (Jan 26, 2009 10:05 am) Sure sounds like the symptoms of a door frozen shut. If you live in freezing temps., it is a good idea to apply GummiPflege to all the door and trunk seals before winter sets in. This pretty much eliminates doors frozen shut.

Replying to: cdm2883 (Jan 26, 2009 3:47 pm) That's a cooling system malfunction and needs further diagnosis. Under suspicion would be the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. A VAG diagnostic tool can verify if this sensor is malfunctioning or if some wiring is screwed up....or if the sensor isn't too expensive you can replace it and get someone to clear the code for you.

Replying to: cdm2883 (Jan 26, 2009 3:47 pm) P1296 indicates a Malfunction In The Cooling System.   Your 2001 was NOTORIOUS for the Coolant Temparture Sensor (CTS) failing. If your CTS is not green in color- REPLACE IT.   It is about $30 and takes about 20 minuts to replace. (Depending on which engine you have) The 2.0L is the easiest and you will not even lose any coolant in the process.   BTW: A vag (computer) tester may not be able to diagnose a bad CTS because this is a DUAL sensor. 1/2 of the sensor feeds the Engine Computer and the other 1/2 of the sensor feeds the dashboard temp. needle. The VAG tool can only read the 1/2 feeding the computer.   Here is a diagram of CTS loccation (2.0L engine)
#5965 of 6278 how to fix hood release? by Brock_hanson23 Jan 26, 2009 (8:42 pm)
hi, i recently broke my hood release on my 99 jetta and am unable to get to my engine. i believe i snapped my cable somewhere under the hood. i was just wondering how i would be able to fix this? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 27, 2009 9:00 am)
#5966 of 6278 Re: how to fix hood release? [Brock_hanson23] by Mr_Shiftright HOST Jan 27, 2009 (9:00 am)
Replying to: Brock_hanson23 (Jan 26, 2009 8:42 pm) Argh! Always a hassle. If it broke right at the handle under the dash, you might be able to get some vice grips on the end of the broken cable.   But if it broke at the latch in front, that could be tricky. All cars are different but I have seen the hood successfully opened by putting the car on a lift and then tripping the latch with a long screwdriver, from underneath.   What you need to do, if you can, is find another '99 Jetta and examine how best you can attack the problem. Many people/mechanics panic and end up messing up their cars in their desperation to get the hood open.
