Hi everybody! I just recently bought my 07 Jetta 2.5L, rebuilt with no A/C.(knowingly). The compressor works but no cold air would ever blow out even after freon charge. Upon further inspection there is a huge hole in the high side line where the freon is leaking out from. I charged freon again...

Coolant is dripping from the passenger side coming down the oil pan and the block but I don't understand why. I heard it could be the crack pipe cause it can drip down to the passenger side. The water pump was replaced A year ago and I don't think it would fail this quickly. I dont hear any...

Hey guys, new to working on cars, I have a 2001 Jetta Tdi that I'd leaking a massive amount of coolant. I have checked the hoses (heater and radiator) but cannot find it. Now, from what I've seen, is it is leaving from the engine block somewhere. I'm hoping it's just a freeze plug, but I don't...

I had to take my car to the body shop this morning (unrelated fender bender) I put water in it just so it wouldn't overheat, there definitely a...

I have a 2002 jetta vr6 that is slowly Leaking coolant from the area where the thermostat mates to the engine. I found coolant residue on the engine that I cannot remove using brake cleaner and a Scotch brite pad. Is it safe to use a razor blade to gently scrape off this residue? I can email...

Hi, new to jetta junkies I drive a jetta GLS 2.0 . I just have 2 questions I'd like to ask. First is, what would happen to the engine if you cancel out the coolant? also, how is it possible to see how oil would get inside the coolant? thanks.

hey guys, had a rough experience today, was driving thru an intersection and applied normal brake pressure when suddenly i felt a *pop* in the brake pedal and it went to the floor and lost all brake pressure. scared the bejesus outta me, long story short its sitting at home now and i tracked...

Sorry in advance for the really simple question, and feel free to redirect me to another thread if this has been asked/answered before! After a tune up to find out why my engine light has been on, my mechanic told me it was because of a vacuum leak (which explains a lot, considering my car's...

I have a 2002 Jetta GL. My coolant light comes on daily regardless of how much coolant I add. It only looses coolant when running, and there is a puddle in the bottom of the area just above and to the right of the engine but I can not find the source of the problem. Any ideas what could have...
