Top 20 1992 Volkswagen GTI - Page 7 Questions & Answers

you have to change your catalytic converter, you can get one second hand for cheap enough.

under the dash of passenger side, you can see the fuse box.

Get it into a warm garage is about the only fix. You could try spraying De-Icer on and around the cable, if you can get to it...

Good Luck. I hate W*I*N*T*E*R*. . . .

VW dealers have a special tool to align the gear linkages.its almost imposible to do it yourself.without the tool.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE.

if you dont get the o2 sensors replaced it will cause the car to overheat cause im having the same problem with my golf gti vr6 had it dionosed and both my o2 sensors are out nothing else is bad and now it overheats due to the o2 sensors

look under the car to check if the exhause tiyes have not broken away first,,if they have fix it with new one there is no way your exhaust should be so low unless the tiyes have bust off

yes, no problem.....use the whole transmision/electrics/computer systems,you may also need to use the suspension/brakes.for ride and stopping power, but thats optional.....

On newer cars, there are often two fuse blocks. One is under the dash and runs most of the inside stuff (lights, radio, etc...) and the other is under the hood and has the fuses for everything else (headlights, wipers, AC clutch coil, etc...). You might check to see if there is another bank of fuses you missed.

Hi, you can get the manual from Haynes Manual.....

It sound like one of two things. First- low freon in your system (A/C system). Second- a wire is shorting out causing (voltage) the signal to stop engaging the clutch on the compressor. Get the ac pressure test done.If the pressure is low then there is a certain leak in the ac system causing this problem.the ac pressure test can be done at any local car garage. Also check the ac coolant temperature sensor.if the coolant temperature sensor is not functioning properly then the thermostat will stick and make the ac stop or make the ac air hot.So the coolant temperature sensor as well as the thermostat has to be checked and faulty one has to be replaced.Let the car sit in your driveway idling, ac on. If the ac goes off, spray the radiator with water, and see if comes back on; then it's the thermostat. Another possible thing could be this air filter (cabin filter) is clogged. Usually it is located in the plastic duct work in the car behind the glove box. The filter was put in newer cars to filter out pollen, etc getting into your car. I would check the cabin filter first. Either blow it out with compressed air to clean it, or leave it out. A new filter runs about $40 . ------------------ But the other possibility to check is,that if the ac stops blowing cold air after 5 minutes or so ,you check the compressor,is it running all the time non stop then here is your problem,the compressor should have a clutch that will enguage on and off as needed , with the compressor constantly running it causing your lines to freeze, when it stops blowing cold try turning off your ac and wait like 10 -15 mins and try it agian to see if it starts blowing cold again.Then your compressor clutch is faulty causing the problem.

Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

If it is to hot to touch replace it, but it normal to be hot. they are on the whole time your car is running

ONE AT A TIME pull the rubber/metal COVER(not the wire)to gain access to the plugs then use a plug socket to remove it,replacement is obvious BUT only tighten hand tight DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN(new plugs have a sealing washer)push plug covers down over the plug,job done.

You may have a hole or part of your manifold gasket is gone. Just follow the exhaust system back to the engine I am sure you will see the hole. hope this helped tim

only thing i can think of is 1/2 shaft splines.....jack up car(both wheels)and spin one,the other should move.....sorry if wrong....

sounds like earthing wire somewhere is off. check the flat earthwire from next to your coil to intake, theres another one sometimes from below your battery to the starter area (not 100% on this one). check your battery terminals and also clean corrosion off terminals and connectors. sounds like the engine might have loosened the connection when you floored it so its prob an earthing wire somewhere

replace batteries in remotes then unlock door with key and hold over,windows will go down,then lock car,hold over key,windows will go up.then press and hold unlock button on remote for 30 secs,that has just reset system.

Your door jam switch is probably bad. The switch is in the door jam and looks like a button. The button pops out when the door is open.

are you sure you're not leaving any inside lights on inside? if so, check the battery for a dead cell, have the battery load tested. if not that, check the altenator for bad diode. can buy a rebuilt altenator for it. or if you choose, new one for it. just to be sure you cover all bases, check to make sure your altenstor belt is on it. i hope this helps!!

may need to get wheel alinement corrected.
