Top 20 1999 Volkswagen New Jetta - Page 7 Questions & Answers

This is a "Drive by wire" car on the throttle. There is no accelerator cable, it has an electrical sensor that tells the engine computer when you accelerate.

Sounds like the sensor is going bad. Take it to a shop and get it replaced.

Im guessing it is a jetta? I never heard of a polo. BUT the guy at the garage obviously didnt help you out very much except scanned for codes. ANYWAY.... P0116 means Engine Coolant Circuit Range/Performance. I recommend checking engine coolant temp[ECT] sensor G62. It probably needs to be replaced. And a coolant flush would probably be good to

When you press the eject button try using a very small flat head screwdriver. Stick it into the CD opening at the bottom and lift it up while the player is trying to eject it. Another thing you can do is grab the edge of it with a pair of very small neede nose pliers while presing the eject button. If you know how to remove the radio from the car, you could take the stereo out and open the top of the unit up and then push the CD right out of the player

you should be able to get a haynes or chiltons repair book at any parts syore or order on line. berrydalewolf

The treansmission could be low on fluid, might need to change the filter, or the transmission itself. I would check fluid and filter first.

I found a complete repair manual for your vehicle. You can download it in ebook format here: http://www.myacrobatpdf.com/6673/vw-golf--jetta-service-and-repair-manual.html

It could be several things.. It could be the modulator.. That is what tells it when to shift and is controlled by both electronic and vacuum..
It could be a bad vacuum line..
If you are not really technical and have experience - it makes allot of sense to bring it to a trani shop.. Allot of them will offer free estimates..

Good luck

Smoke through the vents indicates a heater core issue. If you are losing coolant and / or getting coolant inside the car (check the floor boards) this would tend to confirm a heater core. Best of luck to you.

could be a number of things. valve clearnce wrong, timing belt broke or has jumped time.engine too tight(internally). I'd take it back to your mechanic and let him fix it.

hi ateliergab,

thank you for using fixya.

the code is all about over boost, try resetting the ECU by removing the battery terminals and touchingthe positive lead(red wire) to the negative battery post. It mightspark a little, this is just the capacitors discharging, resetting yourECU and starting over. It's like restarting your personal computer

Hi There,

Replacing the battery of a Jetta is different than most cars.

1. Under the hood look for a plastic cover with a light bulb picture on it, located between the battery case and the front grill. It has 4 screws that needs to be unscrewed. You would notice 2 pieces, in some cases you may have to remove both.
   
2. To separate the 2 pieces, twist it slightly and move one piece up and the other down.
   
3. Unscrew the large bolt on the middle front of the battery casing.
   
4. Have the metal piece that holds the battery removed.
   
5. Remove the battery but keep in mind that at its back it is being held by a plastic lip piece. The new one needs to slide under it.

To put the new one in, do above in reverse.

this is a check engine light, the problem will be covered under the emissions warranty most likey, contact the dealer for deatils of this special warranty.

Take the radio to an Authorized VW dealer with a receipt, or go back and look around the right rear wheel well.

I've done this job several times using a bench vise and an old bearing to press out the bad one. Not an easy job, easy to ruin the new bearing by not pressing the new one in straight. Most shops will be able to press the old and new for few dollars. Oh yeah, there is an internal Circlip that has to be removed first, a job in itself....

well i believe the a/c pulls quite a bit of (load) power so that may be the pulling. Your rheostat may be bad internally or your compressor may be shot like a hole in it does you reservoir have any coolant in it any more? Is there green/blue fluid on the ground/sprayed all over the hood. Is that cap in the very front of the engine (coming from coolant reservoir) on tight or loose dont open it after running it its very hot.

To crank an engine means to turn it over with the starter motor. Is this what you mean ... it won't turn over?

have vehicle scanned for trouble codes most likely an abs sensor or hub failing but check brake fluid level and go by what code[s] show up
