Make sure you get BLUE tinted glass, or it wont match...had to do it to my GLI the only place I could find it was the dealership, then had someone else install it right there. Price wasnt that bad about 300...
Had the same problem with my 01 jetta. After I had replaced my mass air flow sensor, I forgot to set the idle air vol. So I took it to the dealer and had them set it for me and now my problem is gone.
Thx for the help...it turned out that it was the ignition switch that was causing all the problems.
my 5k service on Friday, w/oil change, cost $54 w/filter (I supplied the oil since the dealer didn't stock it, from http://www.1stvwparts.com / for $6.80/ltr.).
Try changing out the fuel filter, sounds like you have a lot of water in it. Wen the filter fills up with water, the engine pulls gas off the top (gas is lighter than water) and regularly gets a slug of water along with it which can cause a misfire at startup and on the road too.
had the same problem in the gti...just got a replacement coil pack for 32$ at the VW dealer and was good to go...i hear its a common thing to replace...
We had 50700 VW spec oil in for 4,000 miles on the oil and 4,700 miles on the engine. The iron wear rate was about 15 ppm/1000 miles. The Longlife III oil did have impressive viscosity holding charictaristics. I did not care for the way the oil film of the 50700 wetted surfaces, it fisheyed on plastics.
The oil pump pick up screen separated from the seal due to debris built up and a piece of metal from one of the chain guides got through and froze the pump gears.
We tow with the van, and load it up with parts to go to shows, and the brakes are not inspring confidence!
