    Hello everyone, hopefully I'm posting in the right spot as this is my first post. I work at a VW dealer in the service dept. I have a customer with a busted core support in his 2008 Rabbit. We can not source a core support for the life of us. I'm curious to know if it's possible to use parts...

I recently rebuilt the engine and did a Weber carburetor swap. since the rebuild when starting I have had good oil pressure, but once the engine warms up it falls off a cliff to zero.

Otherwise, it’s in great working condition with new radiator, new trans & axles, and new alternator. Snowflake OEM 14” rims. Clean Title in-hand. There are 1 or 2 minor dents. Reply or message...

    What’s up, everybody? Long time listener, first time caller. Doing a rebuild of a 1985 Jetta GL from the ground up. I’m wondering if (hypothetically) I swapped my 85hp 8v Jetta ECU for the 100hp 8v GTI/GLI ECU. The Bentley Manual doesn’t specify any differences in engine components to account...

    Hey everyone, my first post here and brand new to this group and VWs in general. I've recently brought home a 81 rabbit L 1.6D n/a paired with a 5spd. It's had one owner and has been sitting in a barn since 98'. So since I don't really know VWs, looking at the engine and bay, it looks to me like...

    I am swapping in a 1.8 jh into my 1.7 rabbit right now. My original plan was to put the manual that came with the 1.8 into the car as well. After a little research I’ve noticed a lot of parts and fabrication that I have neither the money or time to do. My question is, can I bolt my auto 3 speed...

    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...

    I own a 2008 VW Rabbit. Recently, I noticed that the air conditioner doesn't seem to be working as well as it should be. Sometimes it blows really cold air, other times no cold air at all, and sometimes somewhere in between. I was thinking this could be a symptom of a bad Compressor Control...
