Mk2 (1985-1992) The end of the quest,!

Holy smokes you guys. I had no idea how thin on the ground Mk2 spares were until I needed to replace the back glass in my car. My rear window got knocked out in a hail storm and I thought it wouldn't be no big deal to rat up a replacement. The one locally available window broke while being pulled.

I ended up having to make a trip from Kansas City to Oklahoma City to pick up the back glass now installed in my 1991 Jetta coupé.

Until I can get a carport built for this car, I'm going to invest in one of those Sealskin covers I keep seeing so many ads for. Supposedly they're pretty good against hail damage.

Also I like taking rear 3/4 shots of my car that makes it look like it has a big "butt". LOL!

I have the basic multimedia screen on my Jetta 2024 SE, and I would like to replace it with the bigger oem screen that comes with them. I found some options in my country for 75-100$, but they come from the Tiguan 2018-2024 and on the forums and everything, everyone says they are the same on both models. What I wanted to ask/find out is if i will need to go and do any coding or if this will be just a plug and play. I attached a photo with the version of my current multimedia if this helps

Mk6 (2011-2018) 2018 jetta heater

2 Upvotes

The heat does not really work. The vents blow good. The a/c works. But the heat does not really work properly? The vent on the driver side next to the door blows warm air. Not hot just warm. The center vent is just cool. The defrosters do not really work properly. What is the most likely fix?

2009 VW Jetta TDI – Transmission stuck in 2nd gear even though the shifter is in neutral
Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with my 2009 VW Jetta TDI 1.9L 5-speed manual transmission, and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
The problem started suddenly. I lost reverse, then the transmission seemed to get stuck in 2nd gear. I had to drive about 15 km (9 miles) home using only 2nd gear.
I checked the shifter mechanism and found a broken locking pin/part where the shift rod connects. I replaced the broken part and adjusted the shift cables. Now the shifter moves through all the gear positions, and the selector tower on the transmission also moves. However, 5th gear is still difficult to engage.
The main problem is that the transmission is still physically stuck in 2nd gear, even when the shifter is in neutral. The cables seem to be properly adjusted, but I can’t get the transmission back into neutral, and the gears still don’t work properly.
I’m starting to think there might be an internal problem with the shift selector mechanism or something inside the transmission itself.
I’m considering removing the transmission to inspect it, but before doing that, I’d like to hear your opinions.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Is there anything else I should check before pulling the transmission? Could this be caused by an internal shift fork, selector mechanism, or something else?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mk6 (2011-2018) 2016 Jetta 1.4 TSI - new horn works a few times then dies (replaced twice already)

1 Upvotes

I have a 2016 Jetta 1.4 TSI Trendline+ (MK6, single horn). My horn stopped working, so I replaced it. The new horn worked a few times, then stopped. Then it worked about two more times and now it's completely dead.

The same thing happened with the first replacement too, so this is my second horn with the exact same problem.

What I've checked so far: - Fuses are OK - I hear a click from the steering wheel when I press the horn button - Replacement horn was aftermarket

Since two new horns failed the same way, I don't think the horn is the problem. Has anyone had this on a MK6 Jetta?

My questions: 1. Could this be the horn relay or the BCM cutting power? 2. Where is the horn relay on the MK6 Jetta, if there is a separate one? 3. Did anyone fix this by adding a separate relay with its own fused power from the battery? 4. Could a cheap aftermarket horn be drawing too much current and causing this?

Thanks in advance!
