| 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???

| 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? | |

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

Replying to: chaser15 (Nov 03, 2008 11:28 am) 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) 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 |

I have a 95 Jetta manual trans that won't start after not being started for 3 months. Up until now I have have never had this problem. I am assuming it's because my car sat so long with out being started. It will turn over but not start. Any tips on how to get her to start?
