The code reading is: P0011 Intake camshaft Position Timing Overadvanced (Bank 1). Any ideas of what is wrong?

just a wild guess.... the camshaft-position-sensor is misbehaving?
 
BTW: An inline 4-cylinder engine has only 1 "bank" of cylinders. A "V" engine would have 2 'banks" of cylinders. The Volkswagen W8 engine has 4 "banks" of cylinders.

2003 Jetta Jerks by tcjetta

I recently purchased a 2003 Jetta with an automatic transmission. When I first start it in the morning and come to my first stop sign, the car jerks/chugs throught the intersection. It only does it when the engine is cold. I also notice some shuttering when I am sitting at an intersection, but only on occassion. I took it to the dealer and they didn't know what it was. It doesn't give a code and the check engine light isn't on at this point. Any ideas what the problem could be? I want to get it taken care of before the problem gets worse. Thanks!

There are only 2 possible problems
 
1) Ignition system (sparkplug fireing issue)
2)fuel system (injectors)
 
I would bet that your ignition system is the culprit. I would start with new spark plugs/wires. (if you have the 2.0 engine)
 
If you have another engine, there may not be sparkplug wires on it.

Left headlight doesn't work in dry weather. OK in wet. by whitgallman

2000 Jetta VR6 has freaky headlight problem. The Left Low beam headlight does not work when the weather has been dry a couple of days but works OK if the weather has been wet.
I've replaced the headlight switch on the dashboard, tested the light bulbs and fuses and run conductivity on all the wires going from the light bulb socket. Any body else had this problem? What did you find?
The left headlight is near the battery, but the seals on the box around the left headlight bulb seem OK.
 
THANKS!!!

Is there a relay for the HI/LOW beams? Have you replaced it?
 
Also, I have seen headlight bulbs act funky like you describe. Try SWAPPING the bulbs from side-to-side and see if problm moves. (this will rule out the bulb as the culprit)
 
If that does not help... you may have to troubleshoot WHILE THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING to isolate the failing component.
