Reviews of OEM Volkswagen parts For Business

i had my left side battery replaced about a year ago and i watched the shop (not a dealer) do it. the starter battery was not disconnected, the hardest part seemed to be lifting the battery out (fits tightley in there and isn't feather light).

For a 1.8 8-valve get the oil pump which ends in "D" (93 gas golf) it's a higher volume / pressure pump. the pump will fit the 1.8 engines and the ABA.... the "D" just pushes more oil through the engine which is a very good thing. Better lubrication, better cooling, less lifter niose.

Given that it's almost guaranteed that this was not a turbo engine originally (the lack of factory air filter is another clue) she'll run hotter than usual and so a quality oil is a good investment.

So I figured out why the headlamps were not aiming at the same level.. it's cuz the auto body shop replaced my left headlight with a new one without adjusting it. So I manually adjusted the light using the adjusting screws to match the right side.

I've had that occur - it was a bad thermostat. It would stick very slightly open. At idle, or in city driving, it was not noticeable. However, on the highway, the gauge would start to drop and the interior of the vehicle would get colder.

The thermostat I pulled out was probably original, but wasn't stuck. After replacing the timing belt and thermostat, I filled the car back up with coolant and started it up. It did come up to operating temperature quicker

new VR strut mounts and I even used the MKII caps. havent had any problems.

Just try putting a new fuel filter on the car totally empty, and see what happens.

Not worth the effort IMO. I had them on my GLI and unless you're going through daily snow/ice/salt they're useless. Also, you burn through windshield washer fluid rapidly.

I bought my 2001 Jetta with 80k on it. It came with a broken water pump (plastic) plus 6 belt valves and a quarter of the teeth missing from the timing belt. The pump was in about 30 pieces and the damage to the valves was do to the water pump.
