RE: The VW Jetta GLX Mailing List Digest V4 #236
I really would like some help if anyone knows...I have a '95 Jetta and I
love it! I love the heated seats, too. But my concern first came when my
windows and heated seats stopped working...so I found a bad fuse and
replaced it. Now I noticed that I can't roll the windows up when I turn the
key in the lock position in the door. Do you think this is another fuse
problem? Before I would lock the doors, and then turn the key again and the
windows would roll up-now they don't! If anyone has a clue please let me
know! Thanks so much...Darin

Sorry, but the tow hook that I'm refering to is in the right rear of the
vehicle underneath the bumper. The cover is designed for the Golf/Jetta IV
platform. I remeber on my 95 GLX, it had one there as well but I'm sure it
will fit the A3 series platform as well. This tow hook cover is standard on
the Golf for some reason and not the Jetta's. Unfortunately , I just threw
out
the bag so I don't know the part number.

Yup, that's what that's for, but VW, wanting to be different, made the dang

Subject: Re: oil change woes QUERY
Ok. So it seems that no one has a clue of what the possible problem with my
car is, beyond the possibility of a need replace my oil pump. It's the only
thing I could come up with anyway, and it's the only suggestion I can get
from all'y'all listers. No other possible sources for oil system pressure
leaks?
Next question - anyone know where I can get a VR6 (vintage 96.5+) oil pump
of the remanufactured sort? How about a low mileage used one? I'm not really
feeling in the mood to spend $250 on anything right now, unless absolutely
necessary (which, I will grant, this repair probably is). Of course, in this
process, I will also be changing the oil, oil pan (mine has suffered a few
dings and scratches), oil pan gasket - all adding up to nearly 100
additional smackaroos. So it won't be cheap, but of course I'll be saving
mega bucks by doing the work myself (little consolation). I appreciate your
suggestions/leads.

Your dealer should be able to "de-program" that feature, with the VAG Tool.
Where the heck do you park your car? I thought I had it bad, worrying about
getting a door ding at work.

When I went to pick up my GLX, it didn't have a hook cover, so the salesman,
took one off of a Golf for me. I think it looks much better with the cover.
How much was it to buy?

Well, my '96 GLX is coming up fast to 40K miles. (I just bought it
recently)
I was just wondering what kind of maintenance was recommended around this
mileage.

Thks I'll call my dealer tomorrow
I work midnights in Astoria, Queens (NY) so far I've had three cars stolen
on me (89 Mustang LX5.0, 93RX7 Twin Turbo, 97 Mustang GT) hmm lets see 4
radios stolen, lost count on the amount of broken windows, doorlocks,
sunroofs, etc. etc..
Bitch about midninghts is they know you get to work at 11:00 PM and you
won't be back to the garage until 07:00 AM the whole time the cars in the
street defenseless.....Oh, the joys of being a civil servant.

Subject: S2000 Antenna..
GLXers,
I was tired of looking at my broken Fuba mast so I finally decided to
replace it. I was going to get the Audi TT kit, but it was a little pricey
and they were out of stock. So, instead I went to the local Honda dealer (I
know, I know...) and for $15 got the Honda S2000 one. After a stop at Home
Depot for a $1.29 assortment pack of black rubber O rings, I went home and
installed it. It looks great, is definitely unique, and was under $20
including the Snapple iced tea I drank after I was done and was busy
admiring it from all angles. If anyone is interested, I will post the
Honda part number, as someone gave it to me and I'll be glad to pass it on.

PS-I could not belive they had it in stock, the guy said they hadn't even
had an S2000 on the lot yet!!

Subject: Re: 40K service?
Going by the book there is no 40k service on a '96. Up to and including
that year the intervals were every 7.5k. A 37.5k is an oil change and a 45k
is an oil change and tire rotation. The plugs and air filter are every 30k.
