  2. The Beetle
    2015 1.8T Beetle, 130k mi. It has been consuming oil for as long as I can remember, but within VW specs whicj I think are absurd. Then it started losing power, EPC light would flash, sometimes it would go away, sometimes it would stay. I ran the codes, misfires across all cylinders, misfire...

    Hi, I’ve got a 2004 Jetta gli 1.8t. When I turn the key on, the passenger side radiator fan kicks on even when the car is cold and takes about 5 minutes to turn off when the key is turned off. Any ideas what this would be? I also just had the black wire that goes to the fuse box on top of the...

    I have an 02 GTi with the 1.8T, and it’s developed a problem. At around 5k rpm the boost will fall from 20-21psi to quickly fluttering between 5-10. Acceleration decreases allot when this happens. I’ve had problems with vacuum leaks in the past. Last time I had a vacuum leak my boost gauges...

    BLUF: Boost is not meeting requested, and spools very late. For those more experienced reading graphs, does this indicate a potential boost leak? Or is this just how it is with the fuel/hardware limitations? No codes. WG voltage ~3.6, and it is not stuck, moves freely. Greetings all. I'm...
