Replying to: perrimcphee (Nov 20, 2005 2:48 pm) You need to open the hood and read the top of the engine cover. If it says 1.8t ...then YES it is turbocharged. Also-- It sounds as if you are going into this "blind" (without doing much research) Make no mistake-- the 1.8t engine REQUIRES premium gasoline. (just like any other turbocharged gasoline engine) |

Can anyone help me out? I have an '03 1.8T Jetta. Just today, it overheated...all the way to the line. I noticed that the coolant has overflowed but goes back down with the car off as it cools down. I did notice that the fan isn't running. It overheats in less than a mile as soon as I try to drive it. Is this a thermostat problem? - Joe

I have a Jetta 98' manual that has recently been shutting off by itself, and I know it is not because I am stalling out. It has 170K miles on it; and it shuts off when I'm in the middle of the road going at like 5 mph about to stop or in parking lots. I am very concerned, and I was thinking maybe it is the radiator? Has anyone experienced these problems or can help me out with this? And if someone could tell me how much the cost would be to repair a radiator? Thanks.

Attention all of you lovely, knowledgable car owners: Hi, my name is Cait. I'm nineteen years old and attempting to research MY VERY FIRST CAR. I don't need anything fancy. Just safe, economical, and under $15,000. I was looking into a used Jetta or Pasat, however I still have many unanswered questions. What are all these different "trims"? Do these models get good gas milage? How is the longevity of these cars? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated...

Hello, This is my first post and I was hoping someone out there could offer some help. I have a 95 Jetta GLS with a broken interior door handle. Happened today. The lever moves, but no longer opens the door. I was wondering if anyone has repaired this on their own and how involved the task is. I know a dealer would probably charge a few hundred bucks for this. If it is not too complicated I was thinking of giving a shot myself. Thanks.

hi everyone.. a recent mystery has recently surfaced on my gf's 2001 jetta ... her brake lites would come on in the middle of the nite.. after she had parked it for hours and made sure it was off when she first parks it... one time, it drained her battery completely.. anyone have any ideas?? the mechanic has put in a new parking lite switch and it still does it... i'm thinking, but not sure, that her petal is losing brake pressure?? so the petal is pushed down?? i know, wild guess.. but anyone think its something else? or have any insight? thanks!! |
