I suggest you get one of those manuals people get nowadays to do it yourself.. My nephew use it to repair my car and it's totally repaired now. Here's the website he got it from. www.reliable-store.com

Get this manual online at www.reliable-store.com and get complete guide on whether to repair or not, service it, and how to repair etc, along with wiring diagrams, electrical diagrams, torque specs, error codes, everything.

Unless you have a lot of VW specific diagnostic equipment - don't even try to do that. VW's are VERY FUSSY with their alarm systems and immobilizer; you even run into problems if you change the factory radio for an aftermarket, unless you buy the by-pass solenoid set up for your car with the radio.You might try to contact "Ron" at obd2tech.com and find out, if he can help you.

first off with it being occasional, not sure what you mean by that. Once a day, once a week, several times a day? The reason I ask is if you could leave it at shop/station and they could drive it and experience it they would be better able to advise you. anyway get a second opinion. I say this cuz The power steering system is quite foolproof: either it gives boost or it doesn't. It is extremely rare that it would randomly start to steer hard to the left or to the right.

Try rocking it forward and back.. Brake may be under stress and unable to disengage.

KINDLY REPLACED THE IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR

Yes. If power to coil but not out then you need new coil.

Check and clean, if necessary, your battery terminals - and then make sure they're tight and secure. I had this happen once with an old Subaru: everything electrical worked (although the lights were very dim, wipers were sluggish, etc.), but the problem turned out to be loose and dirty battery terminals. Started right up after that. . .

More then likely the tiny electric motor called the "stepper motor" is defective, a common failure.

clean the fuel injectors

before the catalytic convertor

sounds like distributor or electronic ignition check ht leads you may have a broken lead

can be ignition coil module or hall efect switch

Could be crankshaft sensor.

The immobilizer shuts off the engine control module. The fusebox has a positive feed from the battery. Check the battery connectors (both pos. and neg.) Thighten bolts and look for corrosion. Measure between pos lead on battery and point where power is missing. The voltage measured here is the voltage drop and indicates where the problem is. Move one tester pin along the circuit to narrow down the problem. Repeat for the negative circuit..

diesel? won't rev above 2k is because it's being fuel starved , ck filter ,.lift pump , injector rail pressure reg.

all the electric wiring diagram you can find on emanuals on line, just some difficult to search the correct type,but it is there for free,

Most dash cams are no more than 160 degrees field of view, so you would need 2 to get 272 degrees of coverage. Camshaft?

find the wiring diagram on emanuals on line,just not too easy to sezrch there,but it is there,for free consulting,
