sounds like a leak in the turbo intake tubing somewhere.

Is it the manual cable or the self-adjusting one?
 
MANUAL
 
REMOVAL
Loosen the cable adjusting sleeve locknut and turn until tension is relieved in the cable. Remove all parts from the cable end beneath the clutch release lever and pull the cable end from the lever.
Unhook the cable from the top of the clutch pedal assembly and pull the cable through the firewall from the engine compartment side.
INSTALLATION
Install the clutch cable. Be sure to lubricate both ends of the cable with multi-purpose grease, then insert the cable end through the firewall and hook the cable onto the clutch pedal.
Position the rubber washer and rubber grommet properly.
CAUTION: Make sure that all rubber parts are installed correctly. If parts are not installed properly, the transaxle vent which is protected by the rubber washer could become clogged, causing oil to leak past the seals.
 
Insert clutch cable end through rubber grommet and the release lever. Attach all parts to the end of the cable.
 
SELF-ADJUSTING
 
This is more complicated and would require a guide with illustrations

I just got a full tune up. The coolant temp sensor was the wrong one so we just put the original back in until Tuesday. Before tune up i had 6 codes mostly misfires seeing as the previous owner never maintained out and just let it sit for almost a year. Now i have one code. P1128 Obv fuel trim. I replaced the fuel pump which was three original as well. I just bought a new cat so i know that's not burning out but my car as 119k so it is burning a little but of oil. I cleaned put the MAF which was dirty and of course original. Why ours this light still coming on and reading this code? Please help

#6635 of 6636 Clutch Cable Slipping by lambjetta03

Jun 10, 2013 (8:17 pm)

i have a 2003 Jetta. after driving at high speeds or for an extended period of time it becomes difficult to shift into 1st or 2nd and almost impossible to shift into reverse. i noticed that the clutch cable appears to be slipping. that is, where it can be adjusted becomes longer. so today, when i got home i simply adjusted it and it works fine-even after being hot. but i'm pretty sure this will continue so what could be causing this? i really don't want to have to pull over before i park in the city and have to continually adjust the cable so i can get into reverse. i have my theories, but i want to see what others might think it is. thank you.

Sorry to have taken so long to respond but I thought someone else would have given you help by now.
 
Is this the oil gauge light or the oil change reminder light?
An oil change reminder light usually needs to be reset.
The person doing the oil change should know how to and should do that reset
 
If it is the oil pressure light:
This light usually comes on because if there is not enough oil in the system to generate pressure it is sensed and lights up.
It is not usually set to come on just because of low oil.
 
So a bad or marginal oil pump might be the culprit if you just got an oil change and it is full.
 
Poor pressure can be because of extra wear in the channels where the oil must travel.
 
If the oil light was on when they did the oil change why was the vehicle not checked for correct oil pressure?
 
Some of these instant oil change places have no clue of why the oil light may come on?
