  1. CC
    Hi, newcomer here, just bought a CC about a month ago. Car drives beautiful and I love every bit of it so far. However been experiencing a rhythmic grinding sound that speeds up with the revs, and is most noticeable when past 3K revs. It only seems to happen when my A/C is on (no matter the...

    So I bought a 2005 BEW Golf with 226k on the odometer with a bad turbo. I replaced the turbo, and put a "stage 2" tune from malone on it. Not much is done to the car other than the turbo, which is a Borg-Warner S7 from Kerma, egr delete, and a PD150 intake from darkside developments with a...

    Hey VW community, Unfortunately, I've run into a bit of a problem with my Golf 7 1.6 TDI (CXXB engine) year 2016 . It seems there's a fuel leak somewhere, and I'm hoping to tap into the collective wisdom here to help diagnose and hopefully fix the issue. Here's what's been happening: I've...

    I have a 89 golf that has a 1.6d in it and want to throw in a 8v in it. Is this feasible or does alot need to be swapped out for a diesel to gas conversion besides the gas tank?

    1981 VW Rabbit Pickup (Caddy) 1.6 diesel NA I recently took an extended highway trip with the truck and I noticed at my destination that the engine sounded much louder in the mid RPM range. Can't tell you what range since these things rarely have a tach. Performance is normal just sounds...

    Hey folks, I am going through some hosing in my engine bay, and I am stumped by one... I have attempted follow it and am suspicious that maybe it's a fuel vent line... but I'm just not sure. It comes out of the body at the passenger side front suspension, then enters the body under the wiper...

    Hello, I had a HPFP failure. I have replaced everything that VW recommends and I am getting a crank no start. Im very stuck and not sure what to be looking for right now. I verified timing multiple times, using VCDS I checked pressure at the pump and it seems to be in spec. If anyone has some...

    I have a 1982 Rabbit Diesel that I have done a lot of work to and wonder if it is normal for the coolant reservoir level to fluctuate between the minimum and go down to about a fifth of the container after running for a while. It sometimes returns to the minimum level after cooling down. While...

    Hi everyone, I’m trying to diagnose my 1989 Jetta 1.6d. The car overheated on my way to work, and upon turning it off, coolant spilled out of the expansion tank cap. I observed no external leaks while the car was running. Today I replaced the thermostat and attempted to bleed the system. With...

    Ok so I have a 1981 Rabbit Truck, 1.6D and I cannot get the temperature gauge to work. I have done pretty much every suggestion. I replaced the sensor, I pulled the cluster and did the 9V battery check and the gauge itself moves when I give it power. I changed the 10V regulator (which got the...

    Hi everyone, I'm totally new here, but not new to Volkswagens. I did considerable work to my father's 1965 Beetle years ago and I currently drive a 2016 Golf Sportwagen. Long story short, I'm looking to get rid of the car payment and scoop up a MK1 Rabbit to daily (hatches and pickups are both...

    What’s up fellas, I’m new to the forum. Couldn’t really find what I was looking for (maybe I’m bad at searching). Anyways, how feasible (realistic) is it to push a turbo block 1.6 IDI to about 170 hp at the crank? I was thinking with a Giles built pump, head studs and a compound turbo and...

    I have an ‘81 rabbit diesel, and I’m trying to figure out the most reliable way to repair the fuel system. It has bad seals, and currently needs to be bled nearly every time it runs. I am wondering if I should get the pump rebuilt, or try to find a replacement. Which places would rebuild it on...
