#6078 of 6289 Re: expensive repair [muratarum] by backy Jun 30, 2009 (6:37 pm)
Replying to: muratarum (Jun 30, 2009 4:45 pm) I would definitely take it back to the dealer who told you the car is under warranty. They may be honest and uphold the warranty. They may not. In that case, you have a legal case, but if it is your word against theirs it will be difficult if not impossible to win.   Does the car have a VW Certified warranty? In that case there should be no question that it is under warranty. VW Certified cars are supposed to be checked thoroughly before delivery--that would have been the dealer's chance to notice the alternator had been replaced. If they did not notice it, it was their mistake and you shouldn't be harmed by their mistake.   Also, ask the dealer who serviced your car to prove that the alternator was not original-equipment spec and was installed improperly such that the alternator caused the problem. They are asserting that is the case, so they should be able to prove it. Another option is to call VW Customer Support. They may be interested in your being a happy VW owner in these times when it's hard to sell a car.

I have heard that the DSG transmission needs the fluid and filter changed every 40,000 miles and that it is expensive. Info anybody?? Replies to this message: elias (Jul 08, 2009 2:41 am)
#6080 of 6289 engine replacement by carolt Jul 05, 2009 (6:58 am)
I have managed to ruin my jetta tdi 2003 engine because I did not replace my timing belt at the proper time. My mechanic is having a hard time locating a rebuilt engine. Can anyone help me? Replies to this message: sphinx1983 (Jul 05, 2009 12:50 pm)

Replying to: carolt (Jul 05, 2009 6:58 am) You could try ECS Tuning. They have a web site that you can shop from. They have everything VW and german cars. I have been buying my parts to fix my car from them and they are great. They even send follow up e-mails to see how everything is going with your car repair and to see if you need anything else. That to me is great customer service. We should have more people like them. They genuinely care. Hope this help and good luck with your car.

Replying to: lost (Jul 02, 2009 6:06 am) Yes there is a 40k service interval on the DSG. iirc it cost about $200, maybe $300 for the 40k transmission service on 06 DSG new-beetle.

I was wondering if any one could tell me where my fuel pressure regulator is located on my 1987 VW jetta. It is a 1.8 liter non 16 valve.
#6084 of 6289 1998 S10 no-start by fws4 Jul 13, 2009 (11:07 am)
My 98 S10 2.2 2WD lost its drive belt with resultant loss of power steering. My son was driving and was only 3 miles or so from home, so drove it home. In the driveway, it was overheating but not horribly. I did not hear it running. Got new belt and it cranks but it will not start even with stsrter fluid. Have fuel pressure of 44-45 psi on the fuel rail. Compression is only 30-40 in front 3 cylinders, 90 in rear cylinder. Comp. improves to about 60 in front 3 after I add a few squirts of oilin the spark plug holes, rear cylinder stays 90-100. All valves & lifters working when I took off the valve cover. Can my timing be thrown by the belt loss, resulting in valve bend/damage? Ran well prior to this, no speedster but dependable. Just rebuilt my wifes jetta after bad timing belt caused valve damage and don't want to do it again on this one. I'm not great at evaluating compression readings, how do you tell if it's valves or rings leaking? Thanks for your help, this site is incredible!   FWS4

1995 Jetta III GLS 2.0 - Oil Pressure Light keeps coming off and on. It may flicker or stay on for several minutes. Or not come on at all. Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to stop it.

I have a 1995 volkswagen jetta, that starts when it wants to. I have narrowed the problem down to the fuel pump isn't getting power, can someone tell me what controlls the power for the fuel pump/where should i look next. ( not a ground issue already checked that) Replies to this message: revmarket (Jul 19, 2009 5:26 am)

Replying to: bob_von (Jul 13, 2009 3:09 pm) If the light seems "irrational" and not related to engine temperature or revs, it's probably the oil temp. sensor or sensor wire.
