Thanks, I cleaned out the whole overflow tank/floater. But it doesn't seem to have made a difference. The light is still on. I didn't know how to take that whole float thing off the bottom without breaking it. Does it clip or screw in? I was worried I would break it before asking. I just sprayed...

Why would this be on all the time? I have a full radiator, and a full overflow resivoir. Could this be a coolant level SENSOR problem? I don't think I'm losing coolant at all. I do notice that sometimes when I am parked on a very steep hill I lose some coolant. But this light is on 24/7 when...

Has anyone ever really narrowed it down to how to fix this? I dont mean to revive an old thread, but it sounds like people just "think" it helps warm the engine up, but (at least for my car) it doesn't sound normal. It is shifting at way too high of an RPM and then 'jerks' into second because...

Thanks guys. This is my only vehicle (Why I made a MK3 a DD i Have no idea). SO I want to wait until I have a few days off or a week just in case something goes wrong or I break something and I need to special order a part haha. But yeah, if it's just maintenance type of fix I can wait until I...

I don't have another car, so either this is going to have to be done while the engine is in the car over a weekend or wait until I get another DD. All the articles and videos I see are showing people doing it with the engine out of the car. :(

Ha, you're on both forums... yeah that was my first suspicion. Thank you.

This only happens at cold start up..., doesn't smoke all the time. I don't have milky radiator fluid or watery oil. Not overheating, or losing coolant. I was thinking it's burning oil somewhere but don't have the tools or space to pull the engine apart. Any help on narrowing it down? Thanks!

Yeah I was told to try those as well. I bought some, so when I put them on Ill update with if it worked

Hey guys. When I turn my wheel to full lock, I hear this loud popping. I'm not great with suspension stuff but after looking online I've heard it could be ball joints, wheel bearings, bushings, steering arms, etc. I don't even know where to begin. Any ideas? The car is lowered also, on eibachs...

Electrical is probably my weakest point. How do you fix the resistance? I would think that resistance is not fixable. It's just normal.... Thanks for all of your help Poodles.

Sigh I'm so lazy and scared to take apart the door, that it will just unravel in a project I cant complete. haha. Any idea for why my window switch stops working after it gets hot? Is it overheating? How do I stop it from overheating?

Alright, well seems liek I won't solve that problem. Time to take apart the door, clean/regrease and maybe even replace the motors. Does anyone have a link to a write up on removing the inside part of the door to get to the motor/gears?

Alright just cleaned my contacts. That might help that it doesn't go up at all sometimes, but what about how slow it is? I'm gonna take apart the door and try to regrease the windows. Also, it gets slower as the switch gets hotter. Is it because my battery cant give enough power to the switch?

Sigh, I was hoping that wouldn't be so annoying. So I have alittle bit of an update. I took off the door panel, and noticed a lot of the wires were crimped together. I noticed that they get VERY hot. Sometimes the drivers window doesn't roll down or up at all (the passanger continues to work)...

They are both slow, but the passenger side actual goes up faster/more consistently than the driver side. Also, sometime my window gets stuck all the way down and wont go up at all. Sometimes I have to turn off the car, let the car cool down or something to then get the window to roll up. I took...

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right forum for this, but both of my windows are very slow to go up. First thought was the motors are dying, but then I thought maybe I should jsut regrease the window arms. Is there a preference? I took off the door panel, but how do I get the the actual...

Hey guys, so I am thinking about maybe purchasing a RHD mk3. But I know it can't be Reg'd or Smogged. Does anyone know about out of state reg? Or what's the best way to go about it so I can drive it legally here? The shell with VINs is straight from Japan, so how would that work since the DMV...

i searched for the video before posting, so i thought it was OK to post it. and i agree the ads at the beginning are odd, and the VW part is stupid because its an automatic stalling lol but its a well put together video. also, i didnt realize that the off topic lounge was OWNED by anyone... i...

Actually a REALLY cool video, nicely made. Plus, the cars are sex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hUAjjoB7b8 Made by some guys in Cali.
