#6173 of 6291 Re: Jetta 2007 Shaking Balance problem while moving [cairo_man] by jeffyscott Sep 14, 2009 (6:53 am)
Replying to: cairo_man (Sep 14, 2009 2:35 am) "the dealership and they have recomended to change the catalyzer(lambda sensor) and it costs a fortune"   It's still under the full 4 year 50K mi warranty, isn't it? Wouldn't this repair (whatever it is) be covered by the warranty? Replies to this message: cairo_man (Sep 15, 2009 12:44 am)

#6175 of 6291 Timing belt and what else? by driverbern Sep 15, 2009 (5:38 pm)
I am taking my 06 Jetta TDI to the dealer in two weeks for the 100,000 mile service. I've read in posts that while changing the timing belt it is wise to also do other items. Can someone tell me exactly what parts I should replace? Thanks. Replies to this message: bpeebles (Sep 15, 2009 5:53 pm)

Replying to: driverbern (Sep 15, 2009 5:38 pm) There is a "kit" available that contains ALL the necessarry parts. To get a sense for what is in a "kit", you can go to TDI parts and click on "Timing belt Kits".... then click on the "kit" for your specific 3-letter engine code. There is a complete list of the kit contents.   Essentually, there are 'must be replaced' bolts, pullies, tensionors, waterpump and even the seals for the crankshaft and camshaft. (many quality kits come with BRASS IMPELLER waterpump!)

Replying to: cjlloyd (Jun 21, 2009 7:41 am) So my car finally died.... It shut down at a stop light and the EPC light came on. It started up again after sitting for 20 minutes and I drove the 2 miles necessary to get it home. There was nothing left, even the remote locks wouldn't work. I got a jump start and it drove 40ft before it died again. I caved and had it towed to the dealership. They said my two year old battery was bad and needed to be replaced. They also needed to reset it once installed. Well, that was two weeks and $400 ago. So far it seems fine but I can't help but drive with some trepidation. I think it is too soon to tell as the problem was always intermittent. I will keep you posted if the problem returns. Keep your fingers crossed that this was it. Thanks for posting.

Replying to: oemac411 (Sep 16, 2009 6:42 am) Stop worrying. Jetta died. Battery replaced and reset. Jetta is fine. What's the problem? What am I missing? Replies to this message: underthevwhood (Sep 16, 2009 1:00 pm) jeffyscott (Sep 16, 2009 1:36 pm)

Replying to: ndmike88 (Sep 16, 2009 10:39 am) I'm still trying to figure out the reset. I've replaced two batteries in my '00 Jetta and didn't need a reset. Also had the battery disconnected for about a week when I did some head work. Didn't need a reset then either. Maybe it's an '02 thing.   I do agree, stop worrying. Batteries don't last forever. Just smile and enjoy your Jetta.   Tracy Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Sep 16, 2009 1:36 pm)

#6181 of 6291 2003 Wagon rear hatch struts by patschmom Sep 18, 2009 (4:20 pm)
Is there a trick to replacing the two rear hydrolic struts, I have done this before but my hands don't remember the "trick" to it. I have them here and before I detach anything thought maybe I would try you folks to limit my struggle.   Jetta TDI..   Mary
#6182 of 6291 Relay identification by dm9981 Sep 23, 2009 (5:20 pm)
Have a quick question for you guys. Long story short, my 2002 Jetta 1.8t keeps dying and i think i have narrowed it down to the coolant fan. I now plan to start with the relay and replace things in order up to the coolant fan until my car works again. The concern i have is i don't know which relay to replace. I see the numbers on the top, but i don't know which one is which. My second problem is i try to find these relays online and i cant seem to locate where to purchase them. Any suggestions?
