#56 of 122 having some issues!!! by tony117 Jan 22, 2008 (3:28 pm)
K-so i have a 99 jetta wolfsburg edition and i love my car...i just turned 220K on the odometer and i'm starting to have some issues and i'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. all the shops look at me like i'm retarded when i try to tell them whats wrong so maybe someone in here can tell me whats up. first of all, i am having the same issues, almost exactly as diyer (posted jan 6) as far as starting issues and driving thru puddles. it just dies when water splashes up in the motor, and just yesterday it started getting difficult to start. it will crank, but the motor wont catch. once it finally does, i have no issues till it sits for a few hours.   the second issue is an engine stutter on hard acclerations. i don't know if its fuel injectors or sensors or air intake or what. i know for a fact my cat conv needs replaced cause it has fallen apart, but i'm not sure if that would cause those probs.   anyone have any ideas?
#57 of 122 jetta wont start....absolutely nothing! by moore0124 Jan 22, 2008 (10:02 pm)
I have had my 98 jetta gls for four years now. the entire time i have been dealing with it randomly not starting. i cant figure out if it is the heat or cold. i have been in the nw and texas. Sometimes i will hear a click sometimes not. it usually starts after twenty minutes or so but other times it wont start for days. i have replaced the ignition switch but that did not seem to help. I have tried jumping it and that doesnt work. i have tried hammering on the starter and that didnt work. Please! any suggestions would be wonderful!

i love my 2007 jetta and a few times recently it will just not start. The battery is good. today i came home from work was going to leave again to go to the dog park and it would not start. i have lights, radio, air conditioning will come on but it will not start. Tomorrow if it will not start it will be towed to the dealership. However, i have read similar problems in this forum. Now I have to say that after having the battery check I did mention to my mechanic friend that the key was really hot. So I am thinking this is a starter problem. Anybody have an idea???

Replying to: tbirchett (May 28, 2008 7:52 pm) I havent felt the key when i pull it out but i will take not next time it happens. However I have discovered that when it wont start...if i hold the key all the way in the 'on' position then open and slam my door really hard it will start. The car oriented people in my family say its a bad starter that is faulty in nature. Hope it works for ya Replies to this message: packer3 (May 29, 2008 4:09 am)

#62 of 122 Jetta won't start in hot sun by jettatrg Oct 20, 2008 (9:28 am)
Have a 97 Jetta GLS that starts and runs fine in the mornings and nights when its cool, but if left in the sun past mid morning it won't start. Any idea of the probable cause for this?
#63 of 122 TDI FUEL STARVATION by chaser15 Nov 03, 2008 (11:28 am)
I have a 2002 Jetta TDI that will not pick up fuel when fuel drops just below half tank. Have checked the top side for vacuum leaks, etc.. Fuel gauge is correct and the problem is consistant. Does anyone have any ideas before I go into the tank? Thanks Jerry Replies to this message: bpeebles (Nov 03, 2008 6:56 pm) chaser15 (Nov 04, 2008 8:43 am)

Replying to: chaser15 (Nov 03, 2008 11:28 am) Sure sounds like a vacuum leak somwhere. A vacuum leak at the thermostatic "T" has been known to cause symptoms such as yours.   If I were you , I would try replacing the fuel-filter. Pay close attention to the 2 Orings on the thermostatic "T" fitting that plugs into the fuelfilter. These 2 Orings are different size (and different color if you use German-made filter like a Mann)   If you still continue to have issue, try using your oil-suker (that you use to change oil) on the fuel-filter to see if you can duplicate problem "manually".

Replying to: bpeebles (Nov 03, 2008 6:56 pm) Thanks for the input. I have been using after market filters. Might bite the bullet and buy a genuine VW. Could throw 5 gal. of fuel in the trunk just in case it's not the filter. I do have vacuum pumps and may have to start working my way back. Trying to elimate everything before going into the tank. Again, Thanks Jerry
