Two Part Question regarding 2001 Jetta Air Bag On-Off Switch
  
I have a 2001 Jetta GLS VR6;
  
1. Is there a way to turn off (on/off switch) the Passenger Front and/or Front Side air bags?
  
2. If not... is there a way to install an on/off switch that will turn off the Passenger Front and/or Front Side air bags?
  
THANKS TO ANYONE!

This may sound stupid, but i have a few questions about my jetta
A. on the shifter, (i have an automatic w/tiptronic) it counts down 4, 3, 2. what are those gears used for? i usually put it in 3rd when going down a steep hill to save on the brakes, is that right?
B. When using tiptronic can i be driving and then just change it? or does it have to be in a stopped position?
Thanks.

Whatever you want to use them for...one example might be if you want to manually downshift before passing on a 2-lane highway...maybe you would downshift to 4. If you drive in triptronic then you would shift up and down through the gears like a manual.
 
i usually put it in 3rd when going down a steep hill to save on the brakes, is that right?
 
Well, this is certainly something that can be done with any transmission to maintain speed on steep downgrade to avoid overheating or excessive use of the brakes.
 
When using tiptronic can i be driving and then just change it?
 
Yes, you can go in and out of triptronic and shift from one gear to another in triptronic.
 
or does it have to be in a stopped position? No

i'm not sure if i made this clear but when i say "When using tiptronic can i be driving and then just change it?" i mean can i be driving regularly and then shift over to tiptronic? Thanks, sorry for any confusion.

Yes, you can go in or out of tiptronic mode while you are driving.

heavy rain & check engine light by krisalps

After a heavy rain storm late last week, there was a pool of water on the driver's side floor when i got into the car, still streaming from the hood release lever. Last night, my "check engine light" came on.
 
I spoke to VW America and was told that the sunroof drain hoses run past that very area, tend to get clogged & aren't visible or reachable and now my concern should be fuses & electrical issues. Are they kidding me?!
 
I now have to take it in for a diagnostics test to the tune of over $150.00. Could this be a warranty item if it's their poor design? I bought an extended warranty when i bought the car because i already had fears.
 
thanks

It might be too late to help you on this, but you are not required to have this work done by a VW dealer--it simply has to be someone certified to use the equipment they do to run checks. VW America told me this. I took mine to a guy who works on german cars and paid half of what the dealership charged and sent in the paperwork to VW, called them later & they said i met the requirement to keep my warranty in place.
