Replying to: sroon (May 11, 2009 2:53 am) 1b The indicator about exterior light can be interesting. My 06 is illuminating that one intermittently - seems like one of the front DRLs is intermittently working on my car. Can you have someone examine all the lights at night-time as well as day-time, while car is running and you hit the brakes and test all signals/headlights? 2 major maintenance will be required (N-67000)/R years from now, where R is whichever rate you report above in miles/year, and N is the service interval from your owners manual, in miles. My 06 owners manual might have a gasser section ..I think your car has 1.8T engine... I'll look it up for you if you want, but hopefully you have the correct 07 owners manual. 3 I do not know. 4. Oh yes. Way beyond the scope of vehicles, however. |

Replying to: sphinx1983 (May 29, 2009 9:18 am) If you have the ignition turned OFF when you swap ignitors, there is absolutely no damage you can do. (assuming you dont DROP or ESD one of them in the process.) Think of it this way... what is the difference between SWAPPING a couple ignitors - or REPLACING them? (Answer.... cost!) BTW: The "recalled" coil-packs was not due to VW mistake... the vendor who was contracted to build them took some shortcuts during the buid-process. VW ended up "eating" the cost to replace them. (I would assume VW dealt with that vendor approprately to recoup their losses)

Hi, I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I will try to keep this as simple and short as possible. So, I have a 2009 Jetta SE with 4,000 miles on. On Saturday I was parked with the flashers on. I came back to my car, which was off, and the flasher lights were frozen on - so they were lit up. In addition, the radio would not turn off. I started the car, thinking this would do the trick. No luck. Then, I noticed that all of the gear lights were lit up - instead of only having the gear that I had selected lit up. I promptly called service and took the car in. When I got there, the AC stopped working and the fan was like the sound of a jet engine - I am guessing it went into protection mode of some sort. So far service has stated they have no idea what is the problem. All of the computer parts check out fine. They have a specialist looking at it now, but I just got off the phone and he is still stumped. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? |

Battery was dead, jumped it & drove to work (2 miles). Needed to be jumped to get home & again next day. Went home & mildly cleaned off corrosion from battery post. Noticed the small fan was still running after car had been off for 45 min. Pulled fuse for fan & it turned off. Next morning car started, no jump. Small fan turning on/off but large fan still not kicking on. Replaced 30amp fuse on battery, nothing. Tried to disconnect battery to reset computer. After an hour, plugged it back up & car was dead, jumped it & drove for an hour, no troubles cept for A/C. Got home turned car off, went to unlock doors & lights flickered, clock reset, battery drained AGAIN. Next morning, wouldn’t even jump. Had battery tested, good but had corrosion. Replaced terminals & wire to fuse box. Car started right up, no problems, but still no a/c! Clutch is not engaging. Freon has been checked & is good. I was told it was "electrical". Can someone help me w/ a diagram of fuses/relays/modules that could be related & how to test them to find where problem is coming from? Let me add about a month ago, I had coolant temp sensor replaced because CEL came on. A/C worked before & after sensor was replaced. Thank you in advance - any advice is helpful! ~holli |
