has a new cap and rotor, plug wires, electrical connections cleaned, extra ground strap from valve cover to body, and i bought a new o2 sensor, but can't get the old one out (tried a vw shop, they couldn't either).

the above changes have made the issue less noticeable, but they are still there.

i have a 74 412 wagon with an AFS similar (different pins) and was told it either works, or it doesn't... is the AFS on a digiII the same?

Thanks! ]]> vwfye http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970174 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969539&goto=newpost Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:13:10 GMT for a couple weeks now, i have had a nagging problem with the cooliing system in my 96 Jetta GLS. i am steadily losing coolant in the system, but i am unable to find any kind of external coolant leak, except for a small leak from the seam around the middle of the expansion tank. but even that only seems to show up if i crack open the expansion tank cap to relieve pressure. the oil looks normal as well. i was told that the car might actually be drawing in coolant when cold, but burning it off at running temp. any advice to get going in the right direction with this is HUGELY appreciated. for a couple weeks now, i have had a nagging problem with the cooliing system in my 96 Jetta GLS.

So I saw on YouTube that you can enable your mile/trip to display multiple other things, like RPM's. Anybody know about this?

1. Put key into ignition
2. make sure that the mileage is showing
3. hold down the trip reset button
4. turn the key all the way but don't crank the engine for half a second
5. keep holding down the button
6. turn off, still holding down the button
7. turn back on, but don't crank the engine and you'll see a menu list from 1-8.

I know that 4 is to check the displays, 7 is the digital rev counter..

But in 7, when that is operating, I noticed that my gas needle is moving up and down while the car is moving forward and back..? ]]> iKevin http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=968750
