If it is PULLING to the right, is it STEERING or TORQUE that is pulling it?

What I mean is this... If ONLY your Right Front Wheel is pulling with the Acceleration and the LEFT is not,m you will have a Torque Pull,

You may have a problem with your
a. Left CV Axle
b. Transaxle Internal Failure

SOURCE: 2000 VW Jetta V5 accelerator/idling problem

these cars are fitted with a fly by wire accelerator pedal that is controlled electronically by the cars computer it is possible that there is a computer problem or the throttle body ( air intake system )or accelerator pedal is playing up.
it is highly possible that the car is doing exactly what you say it is i recommend you take it back to VW and demand that they take a proper look at it you might have to leve it with them for a couple of days and get a service advisor to drive it home so as they can see the problem ocure.
regardles the cars computer should of thrown a code declaring a fault in the system witch should give the tecs some were to start looking.

good luck with this problem if you have any outher questions let me no

SOURCE: winding noise and vibration when driving on front right tire

you could have more than one problem the vibration accelrating maybe an inner cv joint ,if you just had the tires replace and an aligment done they should have checked the front end for worn out ball joint and tierods but the wheel bearing may not have any movment but can still make noise

SOURCE: under acceleration the car pulls to the left but

A front wheel drive car pulls with the same wheel it steers with. So if any part of the suspension,or steering linkage is warn , torque from acceleration will pull the drive wheel to the side. After 15 years on the road : my guess is warn-out tie-rod-ends. See a mechanic.It won't be cheap, but a hole-lot easyier !

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. I will check the offset in the ends. i belive the spec is .015""

SOURCE: 2003 Kia Sorento:

you know they had a ton of recalls on that particular tranny a few years back and i would suggest taking to a shop and let them run a pressure check i think you will find one of the internal clutch packs/ drums is weak which means the tranny needs to be torn down and fixed

Weird noise when accelerating.

almost sounds like a clogged catalytic converter, hard to say not knowing the miles and how long since any maintenance and what was done.

2000 VW Beetle: When accelerating or decelerating it pulls very hard to the left, while coasting, it seems to be fine and drives in a strait line. What could this be?

Verify tire pressures, and tires with the same amount of time on the ground. Rotate front to back, diagnostically. Also, a brake failing to release can cause a similar symptom.

I have a Jetta TDI 1993 Model and I have a problem, while driving the I get no response from the accelerator pedal, the car seems to idle but there is no accelerating power. If turn the engine off and on...

Go back to that VW dealer and complain. I'm sure you payed plenty, and I know in my shop, if a customer's car is not repaired to their satisfaction, I want to know, and make it right. Sometimes parts can be bad right out of the box, and sometimes problems are misdiagnosed. Go back, but don't agree to pay for anything untill you get a satisfactory explanation. Good luck.

How to tell if your 2000 Jetta gls vr6 need struts? My car squeeks when I driving and If I push down on the hood.

After ten years your are sure to need a new suspension. The way you cantell the shocks are gone is you'll see signs of fluid leaking from the inside of the top onto the outsides of the inner bottom. A couple of jacks and the right wrenches will be pretty easy for even a novice mechanic. Two to four hours your done, it will also increarse the cars hoursepower and preformance.
