#115 of 122 Re: 2003 vw jetta 1.8t [karrs682] by karrs682 Jun 02, 2009 (3:10 pm)
Replying to: karrs682 (May 23, 2009 1:11 pm) update torn down again- only thing that the machine shop states is that the head gasket we got was faulty- he suggested that maybe the oil coiler- so we again are at wits end... he is getting the oil coiler this week and new head casket. If this doesn't work does anyone have any ideas other then a flower bed or blowing it up. sorry to express my frustration, but i am really getting pissed off the sales rep that sold this car to a 19 year old as a first car should be shot. but than again money talks, i must say i am very glad that someone took the time to set something like this up. Just for people like us. But isn't it sad that no a-days you can't even trust dealerships- to be able to give you answers if the computer doesn't give a code or what ever no one knows what to do. My son even talked to a VW dealership and was told they have no clue, that they need the codes. Replies to this message: bpeebles (Jun 03, 2009 5:12 pm)

Replying to: karrs682 (Jun 02, 2009 3:10 pm) It is sad that "real" automobile mechanics are hard to find.   You are right that some have no clue how to actually troubleshoot, isolate, and resolve a problem when no codes are thrown.   Also, it sounds as if that 19-year old could have got some better "guidance" when purchasing a 1st car that is turbocharged. Turbocharged VW engines *NEED* to have synthetic oil and hi-octane fuel. If that engine ever had "dyno" oil run in it, it may have suffered from sludging. (oil-passagways getting plugged up).   Also, I assume that "machine shop" checked the planarity of the head while replacing gasket?   At least she is hopefully learning a valuable lesson about buying a car.

Replying to: dilbertsdub (May 24, 2009 9:18 am) Hi there, I have a 2001 Jetta and I am having the EXACT same starting problem. I can't get any answers from anyone either. I've replaced the MAF sensor and fuel filter got a tune up. Nothing.   Let me know if you get any where with this.   good luck Replies to this message: eepower (Jun 09, 2009 5:05 pm)

Replying to: mat311 (Jun 08, 2009 11:25 am) I was message 98.   I took off the entire air intake and fuel injector system off the car and gave it a good cleaning. Put everything back together, and it started-up again.   I'm not sure why. But it's working again.   Jon

Replying to: karrs682 (May 04, 2009 7:52 am) the triangle light with a car and key symbol is the immobilizer. this should mean the key is bad or the convenience module is not recognizing it. it would need a new key or an instrument cluster(convenience module is part of it). as far as overheating goes, make sure you use g12 coolant, it's pink. green coolant will rust and clog everything. honestly, take it too the dealership. there's a lot of "VW specialists" out there that dont really know what they are doing. have a certified dealer look at it and get their opinion, they cost more, but worth it when it's fixed right. make sure your using full synthetic oil in that 1.8t or youll have a new pile of problems.

Replying to: miltak (Jul 13, 2009 9:46 am) I have no damage to any part of my car; Apparently my dealer seems to think its been involved in an accident (this would be their answer to any/and or all my vehicles issues).... After they replaced the battery, fuses, ignition control module and altenator my vehicle finally starts,...however now it seems the problem is electrical as my sunroof opens and sometimes whenever it pleases.
