How do i remove a battery for a 98 jetta????

Disconnect the battery cable from your battery's negative terminal. Loosen the serpentine belt on your Mustang's engine by finding the "tensioner" pulley and pulling it upwards to release the tension on the belt. Slip the belt off your alternator, taking care not to also slip it off the any other pulley wheels. Use a wrench to remove the nut that secures two wires in place on the back of the alternator. Loosen the two alternator retaining bolts and remove the alternator once they are out.-------------------------------------------------------NEXIQ 125032 USB Link + Software

New battery and sometimes I still need to jump start it to get it going , could that be a sign that the starter is going

Well you'll have to get some more info before you can proceed.You need to know if the battery is fully charged when it won't crank.Then you need to know if the starter is drawing too many amps when it won't crank. You also need to check the cables to make sure the connections are clean and tight.If the key switch is faulty jumping it off another battery won't help.

I just put a new head on my 96 vw jetta and its knocking

I hate to inform you that changing the head does nothing to solve this issue. The knocking sound is coming from the the piston rods inside the block. It would be in your best interest to either drop a new engine in it. Unless you want to do a complete engine overhaul sir; I would advise against the latter.

1996 VW Jetta Trek Radio won't work

I have this same issue, it is not code related, I have a code and the radio works just fine WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. As soon as the engine starts, the radio loses power, did you ever find a solution to this?

Replace oil pan gasket

really ? this is one of the easist jobs you can do on this car....drain the oil , remove the oil pan bolts, replace the gasket, clean the pan and the block of all debrie, hand tighten the pan bolts, and dont forget to put the oil back in, this is always a good time to do an oil change service.

I have 1996 vw jetta 2.0 and my reverse keep

usually a sign that that gear set is starting to go out or has already, standard transmissions CAN be rebuilt, but it's usually easier to have a used working one put in place instead. good luck to you. does it pop out of gear?

Oil Light came on beeping, then stopped,

The beep is an error message not necessarily oil. Check connections to all senders by the engine i.e. water and the 2 oils. Check coolant level as well.
