Ok, please excuse me if I don't get the names on all the parts right....my hubby takes care of the cars and I'm trying to get info for him. About 2 months ago we replaced his cars plugs...the guy replacing the plugs ripped the wires so we replaced the wires. Prior to that they hooked it up to one of those machines that is supposed to tell you where the problem is and it was said it was in the #2 spot. Of course after everything was replaced no problems. A couple weeks ago the clutch went and they replaced the clutch. On the first test drive however the car overheated and when they hooked it up again it again said it was the #2 spot. We have replaced the plug and it was fine but last night it started again. He replaced the wire (I believe just the one wire) but it still wont run right and its still saying its the #2 one...does anyone have any advice. I don't know about cars but my husband is saying he thinks his engine is blown. Please help!!!!!

Replying to: sarahsanchez79 (Jun 18, 2009 7:13 am) Oftentimes, crud built up on the surface of the coil can cause problems. It may be worthwile to REMOVE AND CLEAN the coil in hot soapy water. (I use an old dishpan, dishsoap and toothbrush for this.) Rinse well and allow to dry in the sun. Inspect for cracks (the most common failure-mode for an ignition coil) Some folks have had good luck sealing cracks with automotive silicone sealant. Given the price of an ignition-coil, it may be worth the effort to try. |

My Automatic 2005 Jetta which i recently bought from a VW dealership, has a huge issue going from reverse to drive. The car jerks and bucks slightly every time i put the car into drive. Sometimes the RPMs go up and the car doesn't go anywhere and then suddenly jerks forward or it doesn't catch at all and just glides until i pull over and restart it. The dealership says the computer is Fine and the car is working normally and couldn't duplicate the problem but that its normal for jettas to do this.It doesnt happen all the time and doesn't depend on the temperature. Anyone else heard of issues like this or have any ideas because im having trouble believing all Jettas have this problem.
