#6242 of 6292 Re: 96 VW Jetta Will Not Turn Over [dungeonx] by revmarket Nov 02, 2009 (12:07 pm)
Replying to: dungeonx (Oct 28, 2009 8:51 am) We were getting spark as well with damaged ignition coil. Apparently not enough voltage or not synchronized enough for German engineering. Change it out, see if it works. If so then you have found your problem. If not get a refund when you take it back. Just don't screw it down in place and then it is not considered installed.   Or get one from a junk yard to try. If it works get a new one.

I am having troble with the driver seat. The adjusment for front to back movement will not catch except at the most forward or posterior position. How do I repair it? Does it require me taking the seat totally out or can I just remove the seat cushion to get to the mechanical parts?

Replying to: golfergreen (Nov 20, 2009 5:44 am) You have to take the seat out - but - do not unplug the wires/cables as you may trigger the deployment of air bags. Do not remove seat cushions! In order to remove the seat, you have to get a special "star" socket (available at PepBoys or AutoTrack) and remove 4 bolts - two in front and two in rear - that hold seat rails. Then you flip the seat backwards (with rails attached) and see what's causing your problem.

Replying to: golfergreen (Nov 20, 2009 5:44 am) Sorry, my advice pertains to 09 VW Jetta... just noticed that you have 2002 - not sure, if my advice is applicable to your model year. I do not want to disseminate an incorrect information.

Replying to: heather26 (Oct 20, 2009 6:05 pm) I have the same car. VW Jetta, 2002, the low-end version. It too now suffers this problem. I took the car to a mechanic who looked for a parasitic battery draw on the car after the key was taken out and he saw nothing drawing power. But, yet have a week of sitting without use, the battery tends to be drained and can't turn over the engine. Battery is only 1 year old. Anyone have any ideas ?

Replying to: golfergreen (Nov 20, 2009 5:44 am) Golfergreen,   I have had the same problem with my '00 Jetta. There is a metal pin that slides in and out of a sleeve. That's the adjustment. Pin out the seat will slide. When the seat is adjusted, the pin goes into a hole and your seat is locked in. Easiest way to fix this is to clean out the pin/sleeve assembly. A lot of dirt down there and it gets into the workings and causes the pin to stick. It does work itself loose. That's why it does go back into position all the way forward and back. You can snap up on the adjust handle, but that will only tear up stuff. Try cleaning the assy with some spray cleaner. I used dry lub after the pin was loose.   Tracy

Hi folks, one of the headlights and tail lights of my 2001 Jetta does not work. Where should I turn to help? Where should I buy the bulbs? Is it possible to change it by myself?   Thanks a lot!! Replies to this message: elias (Nov 23, 2009 6:55 am)

Replying to: ohbaobei (Nov 22, 2009 6:46 pm) headlight is a very common/standard bulb. any auto parts store has a little book / computer-thing that will tell you the exact model #. also it's listed in the owners manual. it's easy to replace too, a nifty/easy/suavely-engineered little plastic turn-the-cover-thingy makes it easy, but you do have to bend your wrist. be sure not to touch the bulb glass with bare fingers - oil from fingers can cause it to later crack. taillight is probably easy too - probably similar/easy to brakelight that i just swapped on 06 jetta. also a very common bulb.

I'm trying to help my sister, she has a 1998 VW Jetta GLS 4dr automatic trans. She's a single mother and just lost her job, so things are really tough right now and I want to help her for the holidays if I can.   She came out to start her Jetta the other day and it started up but sputtered and died. If she continuously pumps the gas pedal the engine will run rough but will die the moment she stops pumping the gas pedal. I need to find an engine schematic so I can identify each component (fuel, ignition, electrical). I'm not a mechanic but very mechanically inclined and capable of fixing just about anything with a little guidance.   Any suggestions as to where I should start? Does anyone know where I can find an online engine schematic.   I'm very thankful for this forum.......Joey Replies to this message: sandiegojoey (Nov 28, 2009 9:01 am) underthevwhood (Nov 28, 2009 1:54 pm) bpeebles (Nov 28, 2009 2:07 pm) revmarket (Nov 28, 2009 4:52 pm)

Replying to: sandiegojoey (Nov 28, 2009 8:57 am) I just thought of something to add. If anyone out there has a carfax account and is willing to research it for us, her VIN# is 3VWSB81H2WM259498   I thought perhaps there might be some usefull information in the vehicle's history, but we cannot afford the added expense right now.   thank you, Joey
