The Volkswagen Jetta, or the VW Jetta is a car that is made by the Volkswagen Company and is basically a sedan variation of the Volkswagen Golf. The name 聭VW Jetta was used only in South Africa and North America until 2005. Volkswagen used the names 聭Vento and then 聭Bora in Europe. The VW Jetta was made because the marketing people at Volkswagen were astute enough to realize that the people in the United States preferred to drive sedan model cars as opposed to hatchback models like VWs Golf car. South Africa shows similar preferences and so marketing for both America and South Africa remains almost identical. Volkswagens marketing team proved that they made advantageous observations as the Jetta eventually became the best selling European car in the United States. The Jetta first made its debut in North America in 1980. It was available as either a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan. This model had a different version called the Volkswagen Fox that was sold only in South Africa.
The water pump has a small weep hole in the case near the shaft and pulley. Without specialized equipment to examine the water pump it is impossible to see the weep hole without removing parts in the way of view. When you take the vehicle to a repair shop consider this suggestion. Your technician will likely find that the water pump needs replacement. My 2001 Mercury Sable won鈥檛 start. A friend who has a lot of Ford knowledge and tools has been helping with this problem. At first there was a coil that was causing the 3.0-liter engine to misfire. After installing a new coil we found that the engine computer was the cause of the coil problem. We installed a new module and now the motor won鈥檛 start. My friend has a scanner that programs engine computers so he programmed the new one but the engine still does not start.
Now he thinks the trouble is in the key. I only have one. We had a new key made but this did not start the engine. Do you have any suggestions? Sure, buy an old clunker from the early 1980s and you won鈥檛 have to worry about anti-theft system problems. All kidding aside keep your car. Since your buddy has programmed the engine control module the antitheft system codes do not match. Now the key code doesn鈥檛 match the computer. At this point your best bet is to have a new key programmed at a dealership. I have a 2007 Lexus ES350. I bought the vehicle in 2010. I鈥檝e taken good care of it by following the factory service schedule. The trouble is that there is transmission fluid leaking between the engine and transmission. What would cause that problem? You finally asked a question I can鈥檛 answer. I鈥檓 just kidding of course. More than likely the trouble is caused by a leaky seal at the front pump cover or seal at the torque converter.
Regardless of which seal is leaking the transmission has to come out to replace the afflicted seal or replace a flawed hard part such as the torque converter. Now I have a question for you. How do you know the leak is from this area and not from somewhere else on the transmission? The 1.6-liter engine in my 1996 Honda Civic developed a misfire. My mechanic did a compression test and found low compression in one of the cylinders. He checked the cylinder using three different tests. One was electronic and the other two were with a pressure gauge connected to the low cylinder. One gauge test was wet and one was dry. I鈥檓 not sure what that means but that鈥檚 what he told me. My mechanic is fairly certain that the trouble is in the cylinder head and not in the piston part of the engine. He says the engine needs a valve job. My car is in great condition. There isn鈥檛 a bit of rust. It has 110,000 miles.
