Replying to: mcgyr (Mar 01, 2007 10:34 am) Are you sure that you are not suffering from the dreaded "Coolant Migration Problem"?   Your year VW is ripe for having that problem. Replies to this message: mcgyr (Mar 01, 2007 6:51 pm)

Replying to: bpeebles (Mar 01, 2007 6:32 pm) No, I'm not losing coolant any longer, and there's no corrosion around any of the hoses, so I'm perplexed.
#15 of 122 my jetta wont start by taguchi Apr 20, 2007 (7:14 am)
got off work last night and found that my 97 jetta doesnt wanna start. The battery is strong and the engine is turning but no start. We had a sudden cold snap (from 10C to below freezing) overnight, so I'm wondering if something froze. That said, my gas tank is full of new gas. My spark plugs are about 20 months old. No problems with starting leading up to this. Any ideas out there?

Replying to: mcgyr (Mar 01, 2007 10:34 am) My 99 Jetta GL just died sitting at a light today, would not turn over. I had a couple guys jump out and push, got into a parking lot, popped the clutch and it started... I'm thinking my starter may be going... But, when it started up again, the check engine light was on. Took it to the mechanic to see what that was about and they said they were getting codes for the engine speed sensor. But, he said that shouldn't have caused the dying and not starting... Anyone have any ides?? Replies to this message: mcgyr (May 16, 2007 9:10 am)
#17 of 122 99 Jetta starter Problem by enken May 15, 2007 (5:31 am)
Started last summer when weather was warm. Car started fine in morning. Wouldn't start after sitting in hot parking lot. All dashboard lights are on, electric windows works. Very faint whine when turning key. Had battery replaced -did not fix problem. Mechanic replaced starter - still did not fix problem. Ran like a top all winter. Now that the weather is warmer, problem has resurfaced. When interior temperature is cool, car starts. HELP. My mechanic said he got burned once guessing, and will not try again.

Replying to: enken (May 15, 2007 5:31 am) "My mechanic said he got burned once guessing, and will not try again"   What he is really saying is.. .I already soaked you for a starter and I cannot think of anything else to sell you at this time.   Why the heck did he "guess" in the first place... what is wrong with good-ol' TROUBLESHOOTING and to isolate what the problem is? Then FIX it!   BTW: He did not get "burned" -- I am willing to bet he got PAIED for replacing the starter.

Replying to: enken (May 15, 2007 5:31 am) The door locks fail in the heat using the remote key, but the car still starts. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Replying to: jamie1021 (May 01, 2007 3:00 pm) Sorry for the delay in replying. After the engine sensor was replaced, the car hasn't died, and it's been over 3 months now. However, shortly thereafter, the airbag light came on, so I don't know if it's an electrical sensor thing. Keep me posted.
#21 of 122 Jetta Will Not Start...!!! by badvw7 May 16, 2007 (11:11 am)
I have a 2002 VW Jetta GLS TDI that will not start... It will not even turn-over. The battery is confirmed good. I believe that their is a problem in the automatic shift lock system. When I turn the ignition to the On position the "brake pedal light" (ASL light) momentarily comes on then goes off (supposed to stay on until you depress the brake pedal) and I hear a relay click in the shift console (It is an automatic transmission). The "Automatic Shift Lock" light should stay on until I press down on the brake pedal, which then allows you to shift from park into the desired gear. I can shift it freely into any gear even without pressing down the brake pedal. Also the electronic gear indicator on the dash does not indicate which gear I am in. It just flashes on and all the gear indicators remain lighted. I am not so sure that this is a brake light switch problem. The brake lights work normally when depressing the brake. The switch also ohms out normal with an ohm meter. The switch is purple in color if this means anything. Please someone help ASAP...!!!
#22 of 122 Similar starting problems by oyepapi24 Jul 13, 2007 (8:36 pm)
I own an '03 Jetta manual transmission (2.0). For some reason all electrical went off (power windows, radio, lights, clock, etc) when I attempted to start. It appeared as though I had a dead battery, but after a few seconds the lights and all came back on. I attempted to start engine, but all that occurred is that the engine seemed to go through a sequence of checking certain items... power lock on doors unlocked and other clicking/beeping noises came on, but engine did not turn. Then all electrical went off. After waiting a few minutes all electrical came back on, but the same sequence occurred when I attempted to start. Any and all suggestions welcomed!
