check the chip in side the key , may be the key open (two p.c) then you lose the chip. look for this chip a roun fix back it wil start .
How do you reset the
press the odometer reset button when turning on the ignition key for 30 secs.that should sort it.
I have a transmision problem
First it might not be the trans, could be drive shaft out of balance or tires or stabilizer bar or u joints need more info.
Head gasket needs to be
It's really to much to list and explain , Might be best to get you a mannual from your parts store to walk you through it. and truble shoot any problem you might have, Good luck.

Slipping doesn't start all of a sudden,
even if your loosing fluid
99% of the time, your going to be rebuilding the trans
That may be in a couple of weeks, if you keep
driving it
I would stop by a trans repair shop ,
and have them show you what ever you
need to know
2007 Jetta fuel door will
Hi, please check to see if the latch is sticking out as it should. If not, the return spring has likely broken and will have to be replaced. If the latch is sticking out, the door may be misaligned such that the latch cannot engage the door properly. If the door does not close squarely in the body cavity, you may be able to gently realign it. Without being able to see the door, it is difficult for us to assist you. If you could check these things out and let me know what you see, I can better provide repair advice. Thanks for using FixYa.

Hi, I have a 2006
In the most cases for VW TDI engines the turbocharger is responsible for engine losing power.
The car goes in "limp home" mode!!!
After scan the EDC-15P engine control unit with a VAG or KTS -BOSCH diagnosis tool you will find this: Fault code: P1557-Turbo Boost pressure control exceeded
1. Engine stopped and ignition switch off. Check all pneumatic connections and hoses between turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control, boost-pressure control solenoid valve, vacuum reservoir, EGR control solenoid valve, intake-manifold flap solenoid valve, EGR valve with throttle - part of intake manifold. Also the vacuum connection between tandem pump and brake booster. If you find something wrong replace parts. If not go to step 2.
2. Extract the hose of the turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control part of turbocharger. Instead of the original hose you must place another 1 meter long hose with the same inside diameter, and then you check to inspire yourself the air from the other one extremity of this hose. The mechanical connecting rod of the turbocharger actuator must have a smooth and whole motion. If you can do that with your mouth, then you must replace the boost-pressure control solenoid valve. If you can not reach this with your mouth, then you go to step 3.
3. This is the most difficult work. The problem is that the soot particles deposits inside the turbocharger plugging the variable nozzle geometry mechanism = adjustable vanes of the turbine. If the turbocharger actuator is not able to adjust the turbine vanes the charge air pressure increase too much and ECU (engine control unit) go in "limp mode" = engine protection software. As a result the "limp home" mode engine still running until you turn the engine off (ignition switch off) and back on when the "limp mode" is deactivated, but the fault still remain in ECU memory!
4. You must be able to extract the turbo from the engine and then to disassemble the turbocharger, clean inside adjustable vanes mechanism and refit all.
Car had no power.
the map code may be a symptom, not the problem. I would have a shop that specializes in VW check it out. Auto Zone isnt much help unless you are buying oil or car wash soap.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ECU
Hello...
I am not sure about your exact car. Im sorry, but I dont know EVERYTHING. However most vac leaks are caused by a hose. If not the hose then by a loose intake manifold, or bad manifold gasket. Sometimes the manifold itself can crack.
The EASIEST way I have found to run down a vac leak is to buy a can of SPRAY carb cleaner, most autoparts stores have this stuff. With the engine running spray the carb cleaner near suspected leak sites. The ends of hoses, down along the intake gaskets, pretty much anywhere air can go. When you find the leak your engine will SPUTTER. Sometimes it will even die. Carb cleaner doesnt burn that great apparantly and when it gets SUCKED IN to the fuel air mix it throws it off.
Once you find the site of your leak the fixes are pretty easy. From what I have read recently alot of people seem to be getting away with just tightening bolts this winter. I dont know if the sudden change in temp or just everyones cars seem to be about the same age.
Anyhow thats how I find intake leaks.
I hope this helps
