See what happends when you drive that Jetta to work all the time and ignore
your rocco;'s for pver 3 weeks....
She is in a bad mood... nothing like a tempermental  Rocco...

Mine has decided that when I turn the ignition key... sometime it just goes
"click!" then I try again.... and usually starts.... seems my starter or
battery is going out ther door....

  The weirdest thing is happening when I apply my brakes my temperature
shoots up 10 cel. And when idling it bounces up and down (remember this is a
temp not a pressure gauge). I saw my car reach 140 c last night on the way
home never seen that before, the water temp sat between the top of the light
and the 3/4 mark. So it is staying cool.

  What could be causing this?

  Grounds - all clean and tight

  Sender - going bad



  And on top of this the ds power window switch broke (anybody got a spare
or two).



  TIA

  Brian
