My Volkswagen Jetta won't start. It cranks over fine and the battery is okay, it just won't kick over. What else should I check to figure out the problem? It's possible that your Jetta is not getting fuel. Take a test light and check if there's power to the injectors. If your car is turning over and you can hear it trying to fire or if you can smell fuel while starting the car, this might be a spark or ignition problem. You should also see if the "Check Engine" light is on. If yes, use a scanner to pull a code in order to identify the issue. My Volkswagen Jetta's air conditioning unit is dripping water on the passenger's side of the car. Aside from that, it's also letting out a foul smell whenever I switch on the A/C. Is there any way I fix these? For the dripping water, the condensation drain line of your A/C might be clogged up. You can find the drain line on the passenger side of the lower center console almost under the dashboard. You will have to pull back some carpet to get to it.
As for the foul smell, you might have to change the cabin filter, which is also under the dashboard on the passenger side. Many Jetta owners are not aware that the cabin filter exists, which makes this part one of the most neglected components of the car. Make sure to change it regularly in order to prevent the same incident from happening. The alarm of my Volkswagen Jetta won't disengage when I attempt to start the car. The ignition turns over and the radio and other components work, but the engine doesn't start. How can I fix this or at least disable my alarm? You may have to take your Jetta to a dealership, which should be able to disable the alarm for you. However, this might not be good in the long run since you are deactivating your car's security feature. For a permanent solution without disabling the alarm, open your car door with a key holding to unlock it. This should disarm your car.
If the alarm sounds when you open the door, take out the 15Amp fuse in the fuse panel that has the key symbol on the diagram. This should stop the alarm but at the same time prevent your car from starting. Next, open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, then put your key into ignition and try starting it. Then, while leaving the door open, reconnect the negative battery terminal. Finally, turn the ignition again and your car should start by now without sounding the alarm. I am planning to replace the factory radio in my Volkswagen Jetta but I can't unlock it. How can I find the security codes to remove it? Check your owner's manual to see if the security code is there. If it's not available, you will have to bring your car's serial number along with the V.I.N. They will input both information into their computer, and if both serial number and V.I.N. This process is quick and will only take you a few minutes.
The variable assist rack-and-pinion steering was tight and composed, requiring little input at slow speeds and more at higher speeds. After our bout of canyon carving in the 2005.5 Jetta, we couldn鈥檛 help but wonder how much improvement could be realized with a better set of tires. The 2005.5 Volkswagen Jetta鈥檚 brake system also caused us a fair amount of consternation. Despite the excellent hardware - discs all around, ABS, electronic brake force distribution, and our tester鈥檚 electronic brake assistance - the new Jetta could use some attention in this area. Around town, the binders worked well, and after several miles on sweeping mountain curves, the brakes held up well. But it was during a spirited drive, accented by several sharp turns, that we discovered the Jetta鈥檚 strong affinity for brake fade. In particular, on one downhill run the stoppers met each corner with less efficacy, culminating to a point where there was little resistance prior to the shuddering activation of the ABS system. Admittedly, most owners won鈥檛 push their Jettas to these extremes, and after a short cool down period everything was back to normal. However, of the countless vehicles we have tested on this route, the Jetta鈥檚 brake fade was among the worst. Our test loop also exposed the automatic transmission鈥檚 desire to hunt for the appropriate gear. After exiting a turn and punching the throttle, there was often a lengthy hesitation as the Jetta lumbered along in a high gear, finally kicking down a cog and unleashing the desired power. Consequently, the confused gearbox often saps the new engine鈥檚 potential.
Volkswagen launched a completely new model in the Category A COE segment - the Caddy. This multi-purpose car (MPC) has been a popular choice in Europe for many years, and this is the first time that it is being offered to customers in Singapore. This means that Volkswagen now has a people mover for every need, starting from the 5-seater Sportsvan through to the 7-seater Caddy, Touran and Sharan. The new Caddy's design impresses with sharpened folds and clearly defined surfaces with stylish clarity. The redesigned front and the distinctively presented rear give the new compact MPC an unmistakable character, without making it any less recognisable. It has gained noticeably in presence, exclusivity and dynamism. In keeping with the expressive exterior, the vehicle's interior also features accentuated lines and shapes. A striking horizontal band with integrated air vents and a new generation infotainment system underline the new Caddy's modern look.
