#3 of 45 Re: 2007 Rabbit, 2.5L 5cyl maintenance schedule? [jmousseau44] by eldaino Aug 01, 2007 (9:46 am)
Replying to: jmousseau44 (Jul 30, 2007 8:28 am) jeffy scot is right, and if you go into the dealer asking for a 'xk service' you'll be charged alot.   just ask for an oil change and tire rotation, you'll fare better.
#4 of 45 dashboard scratch by shirotori Aug 21, 2007 (7:25 pm)
Oh, I was transporting some rather long 2x4s that just fit into the car with the front seat down and I didn't think about putting any cloth on the dashboard just above the glove-box where the 2x4s rested against. The effect was that I have a scratched area a little larger than a quarter. Does anyone know of any product that could buff this scratched area out? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

#6 of 45 Check Engine Light ? by tpennington Nov 15, 2008 (7:15 pm)
Hello all,       I have a 98 VW Rabbit GLS. The temperature gauge reads normal temp. However the red temp idicator light has bee flashing. I just had the oil changed and the coolant was topped off and the flashing red light stopped. I had been driving for about an hour and the light started flashing once again. On top of that the check engine light is on. Any insight on this issue. Just wondering if the temp light could be affecting the check engine light. Maybe I need a new thermostat?   Thanks,   Tony
#7 of 45 30,000 Maintenance by shirotori Dec 15, 2008 (8:20 pm)
I'm getting very close to 30,000 miles with my 2007 Rabbit and am wondering if there any of you out there who have already surpassed that milestone. Did you have the 30,000 maintenance done? How much did it cost you? Did you not have some of the things not done in order to cut costs? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: shirotori (Dec 15, 2008 8:20 pm) I think the 30K maintenance is the same as 10K. The big one for VW is at 40K mi.
#9 of 45 replacement parts by shirotori Feb 24, 2009 (6:20 pm)
Just wondering where most of you buy replacement parts for your Rabbits. I need to replace the windshield wipers and am wondering if it I can get the correct wipers at a general auto parts store, or if it's better to buy online or from the dealership. Thanks

Replying to: shirotori (Dec 15, 2008 8:20 pm) did you go in for your 30,000 mile service yet? i'm wondering what you ended up doing. i actually had the same question as you. i am due this week for the service and i am thinking of just getting the oil change, tire rotation and air filter. i have not replaced the air filter yet, that was recommended at 20,000.

Replying to: jmpablo72 (Apr 19, 2009 6:16 pm) You're worried about the coolant after 7,000 miles? Geez, you don't even need to change the oil yet and have tens of thousands of miles and years to go before you need worry about the coolant.   Best regards, Shipo Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Apr 20, 2009 2:39 pm) jmpablo72 (Apr 24, 2009 10:35 pm)
