Hi,
I would say don't replace anything until you have the "fault codes" read via the on-board diagnostic system.


Hope this helps. If this "fixes ya", I'd appreciate a rating for my reply, If not, please delay the rating and add a comment with any extra info you have and I will try to think of something else.

Cheers, D.

SOURCE: my 96 jetta is really loud and vibrates bad

The cam shaft sensor operates the speed and spark of the engine without it work properly the car will shake and will not run good. It will run rough and will hesitate and may even cause more damage if continued to operate in this state. Cam sensors are not expensive anyhow anywher from $50 to $150 good luck

SOURCE: clicking noise under the dash of a 2008 vw jetta

This problem is very common with MkV VW's. It's related to the heat and evaporator components. It's some sort of flap motor.

VW Jetta 2001 wolfsburg edition 4 cylinder 1.8 turbo engine is having rough idle. check engine is on and it has a code for O2 sensor. the car drives fine in high speeds. the engine has not shut off only...

It sounds like either the mixture is bad or you need a new 02 sensor. If you have never replaced the o2 sensor I would get that done anyway. Next I would get a general tune up and have your throttle body cleaned.

2003 vw jetta wolfsburg bogs on early acceleration

Don't know if it applies to your diesel but most later gas engined vehicles have a 'cold start' valve that supplies additional fuel to the fuel/air mix along with boosting the idle speed until some warming of the engine is sensed.
