you havent provided too much detail but theres always the possibility its leaking. have you checked underneath it for oil stains? i have also heard that volkswagens burn oil faster than some other cars. not sure if thats true though.

its a volkswagen!

Moochalot!

i had the same problem recently with my car. the most likely reason i can think of is a hose leak. it took me forever to find the hose that was leaking in my car, but eventually i found it and replaced it. if i were you, i would definitely just take it to a mechanic. its alot easier that way

Worn out engine. See a mechanic or engine overhaul shop for cost of repair. Or it is overfilled in the crankcase. Or PCV valve is broken(plastic or metal ). Let a mechanic have a quick look. Don't need to see a dealership after all a motor is a motor.
You did not mention the number of miles on the car(but chances are the odometer does not work anyways(a gear falls off)

20's with 7.5inch wide tires....8inches will rub. 22's fit too but will hit upper fender well when going over speed bumps

I wouldn't go bigger than 18

I'd say 19s may look a little too big on a jetta, but I've seen it pulled off with the right wheels/stance. 18s are the perfect size, honestly you don't want to go too much bigger.

What is an exclaimation mark with a circle around it and wavy lines under it mean on a VW Jetta?

I am sitting here at a damn McDonalds and cannot find the owners manuel online. Yes, I'm a big idiot because the manuel accidently got taken out of the car. Need to drive 80 miles in the dessert right now and value my life.

it's something to do with the brakes. it could just be telling you that the brake pads are getting worn but it could be something more serious.

eek

emergency break is on , or it is the switch that shows it is on gone

Parking brake is on. Or is not hitting the off switch. Most often it misses the button. Push the handle toward the passenger side of the car as you let it down and most likely that 1/16 of an inch will hit the button.
You gonna drive into the dessert? Would that be a super sizedchocolate creme strawberry field pie? Must be a big one if you got to use the car.

VW Passat (2006) 2.0 TDi cost for new pads, tyres & MOT?

I've been charged £440 by a VW main dealer for the following:

Front brake pads (£140)
Two front tyres (£245)
MOT (£55)

2006 VW Passat 2.0 TDi (manual)

Is this a good price?

Answers ::
That sounds fairly reasonable to me for a main dealer.

Robin the Electrocuted

that is very expensive,tyres £123 each and pads£40 plus £100 to fit them it takes less then an hour,

Shop around next time and you will save a fortune. You don't have to have the work done at the main dealer either.

Best, inexpensive VW chip to increase HP?

hey not looking at spending over 100 bucks, in the market for a chip to give my 99 golf vr6 (mk3 model) a little more horsepower, something i can install myself, any ideas or links.. thanks!

Asked by: noitall @ 2009-08-11 15:54:35

Answers ::
neuspeed offers a good chip for the VR6, I would check blackforestindustries.com as they sell a Techtonics Tuning chip for the vr as well, or just google techtonics tuning and check out the chips they offer. I believe the mk3 chips are just a solder in or push in type for the mk3, just like my b4 passat vr6. I have the neuspeed chip, and it claims to add 7hp and a bit of torque, I can deff. tell the difference in the way it performs over stock. Hope this helps!

Sarah

Techtonics or GIAC Black Forrest industries is offering a new chip that gets amazing reviews.

License for VW Bus/Vanagon?

Now this might seem stupid but i know nothing about license's.
Do you need to have a special license to drive a VW bus/ Vanagon since it is a bigger vehicle and the inside of most of them are just like an RV?

Asked by: Rhealyn @ 2009-08-11 08:57:36

Answers ::
No, it's not that big. A standard C-class motor vehicle license will do. I got a Vanagon myself.

Wendy

Depends on where you are and what your laws are.

In California you do not need one unless your vehicle is outfitted to carry more then 9 people (unrelated). Then you need a bus drivers certificate added to your license. Packing 30 people into your VW does not make it a bus if it only seats 8

ca_surveyor

Not at all. A good old license will do. You can drive up to a 26' box truck with a standard license. It might be 24', can't remember, but that is much bigger than a transporter.

Think I have put too much oil in my Golf 2.0 TDI?

The dipstick was unclear so I put a small amount in. It now seems above the level it should be, but not by much. The car is running fine, should this be a problem???????

Asked by: the pipe @ 2009-08-12 02:41:42

Answers ::
nOOOOOO dot put lots of oil just a little a very little amount.

ツcArLツ

it can be if you acheive more oil pressure than the seals or rings can take. a little too much isn't a big deal, but if you see a blue-ish smoke from your exhaust, you're burning oil, forcing it thru the piston rings and this willdamage them eventually. you would want to drain a little bit of it...
also, if it blows any of the seals, you'll have a leak you need to repair or forever be replacing oil w/ each gas fill.

I am unclear with your statement. You were questioning the dipstick because it was unclear to you, so you added more oil and then your knowledge banks opened up and it became clear to you? Wonderous chemical.
Now you have a question is this a problem. Why don't you add some more of the wonderous chemical to see if you are further enlightened?
