  1. Golf/GTI VII
    Wife's car was intermittently throwing an EPC light and then a CEL and then going into limp mode. For a while, we could park it, restart it, and so long as we kept the RPMs low, it would work ok around town. I thought it may be coil packs/spark plugs (was just throwing a Cylinder 1 misfire...

    Hello! I am looking for a solution to plug the coolant line in the head on my caddy 1.8 k-jet. I am replacing the CIS system with an weber, and the new intake from Misab doesnt have the coolant line. I have been searching for an answer without finding a good solution. Does anyone have any...
  5. Passat (B7)
    Hi, I have a 2015 Passat 1.8TSI, with currently 120 k miles. I recently noticed that the power output was less than what I usually had, for example some hills that I could climb easily in 3rd gear require me to switch to 2nd gear. Furthermore, I have a relatively high oil consumption (1 qt...

  6. Golf SportWagen VII
    So I purchased a 2019 Golf sportwagen with the 1.8 turbo with 56k km. When I bought it it ran perfectly for about 20k km then I got a engine light and a code for cylinder #2 misfire. So I thought since I got the car I don't think the spark plugs had ever been changed so I went to VW bought the...

    First off I'm "new" to the vw community. My dad had an mk1 rabbit and I loved it so I started looking for one myself and stumbled across a great deal of a 92 cabriolet I couldn't say no too, So I bought it. I knew it didn't run but with my past common sense knowledge of a an engine it seemed...
  9. The Volkswagen Lounge
    I’ve got a 99 passat (1.8T) with the stock 5spd trans. I just bought the car non running and fixed it up. When I put it in gear I can hear it shift, but it won’t move when I let the clutch out. If I put it in gear and let clutch out, and hood it at 3/4 throttle it’ll go 2-3mph maybe. Any ideas...

  13. Cabriolet
    Hello everyone! :D Golfs are a lot of fun for multiple reasons. They're (relatively) lightweight, FWD and if fitted with a proper engine they can be a lot of fun. Cabby's come with the handicap of being heavy boys, weighing 300 pounds more. So I made a post earlier about my Golf Mk3 Cabriolet...
  14. Golf IV & Jetta IV
    So I’m sure this issue has been addressed on here before, but I am being ignored and blindsided by every dealer in the state when I call them to ask about a repair on my 2000 Jetta 1.8 5 speed. I’ve done a lot of diagnostic between swapping out coils and spark plugs, switching the coil plugs to...

  16. Golf I & Jetta I
    Hi, just fixed up my 89’ cabriolet and I’m having troubles tuning it. I believe there’s a different cam in it as it runs really lopey at idle and has aftermarket headers. Took it for a test drive and could barley get it out of the driveway without revving it to 2500, it also has an oil splash...
