#137 of 146 jetta not starting? by stephenstravis Oct 16, 2009 (3:16 pm)
I have a 1997 jetta GT. It will not start. I bought the car and the person I bought it from said all it needs is a tranny. So I had another jetta and I switched the trannys. I tried to start it and it did not start. I put a new distibutor on it ($175). I put a diagnostic computer on it. New wires. I can not figure it out. I am getting spark to the distibutor but I get no spark to the wires doing to the spark plugs. Can some one help me with this?
#138 of 146 2000 Jetta GLS Battery Drain by eerfan Oct 21, 2009 (11:49 am)
After having an aftermarket stereo installed recently (which may or may not be part of the problem) my battery began to drain while the ignition was switched off. I took it to a dealership, who informed me that it was due to improper charging (the alternator is new), and charged me to clean the alternator grounds, which did not solve the problem. I used a multimeter to test the power draw for each fuse, and found that the draw is coming from the convenience system fuse, so I returned it to a different garage, who couldn't isolate the problem, only that the system draws excessive power for about 5 minutes after the ignition is switched off, and then the power draw reduces. At this point I am disconnecting my negative cable every time I park. Please help!
#139 of 146 Confused and frustrated by dhkaylee Oct 23, 2009 (7:40 am)
I have a 1999 vw Jetta (new body style) and I have what I think are electrical problems. I will be driving and all of a sudden, my radio starts going in and out and my abs light flashes on and off then if i come to a stop like a red light, then my car will shut off. I must throw it in park and its starts right back up. I've also noticed that sometimes when I put my window down, my daytime running lights will flash as im putting my window up and down. My car is crazy,(since these things dont happen on a regular basis) when i go to a shop, it doesnt do any of things im describing so therefore they cannot diagnose the problem. I just got a rejection sticker for my emmissions the code that read out says it has something to do with my fuel. I am at my wits end, I cannot afford a new car right now and I dont no if my car is safe. PLZ HELP!

#142 of 146 1997 Jetta Security Alarm/Trunk Lock by eemblem Oct 25, 2009 (8:53 pm)
I recently purchased a 97 Jetta, today I was cleaning the battery cables and when I re hooked them to the battery the security alarm went off and the trunk key entry won't work. I turned the alarm off by placing the key in the door and turning until it turned off. However the sound system went to safe mode and the key entry to the trunk won't work. I had not seen thid before, so I researched the service receipts from the previous owner, she had numerous issues with the security alarm going off by itself. She took it to the VW dealer on 3 occasions, they finally told her the trunk key entry was bad and was somehow interlinked with the security alarm. They charged her $150 and replaced the key entry. This was in May of 09, now the trunk key does not work and somehow the alarm triggered the event. Does anyone have a solution to the elusive alarm, safe sound system release and the trunk key entry?

#145 of 146 09 jetta will not start by skinny4 Oct 31, 2009 (4:19 pm)
My son drives an 09 Jetta and today it would not start. Lights and everything is dead. He thought maybe a battery problem but he could not even get the car to turn over by jump start. Lights do not even come on when the car is hooked to another battery. Any thoughts. Dealer is closed on Saturday.
