Re: Starter Noise
Update - removed the starter, lubricated the starter gear mating surfaces with grease, checked main gear retraction, and reinstalled the starter. Starter noise is less but makes noise on colder days and no noise on warm/hot days. I'll have to live with the irritation until have to replace the starte...

Starter Noise
This week ... a screeching noise after each start up. Possible dirty starter problem. Just finished replacing the fuel pump. Looks like spending another weekend under the hood.

Re: Cranks, No Start
Replaced fuel pump .... VW on the road again. Found pick-a-part lot and checked at least 12 cars before finding two working fuel pumps ... $25 each. Related Issue: Engine Cut off (when tank below 1/4) ... waiting to see if different fuel pump fixed the issue. 04 Jetta GLS 2.0 Wagon Engine Code: BEV

Cranks, No Start
Car cranks and will not start. Best guess is bad fuel pump. Looking for a used fuel pump for plastic fuel tank. Here's what I tested so far ... - Car battery 12v - PASSED - Checked Fuses #15, 28, 32 - PASSED - Noise from fuel pump when door is opened and/or key turned- FAILED - Relay (409) clicking ...

Engine Cut off (when tank below 1/4)
Engine cut out (shut off) while at highway speed (or idling) and came right back on after 2-3 seconds with no issues. It seemed to happen when the tank was below 1/4 and never happened above that. Problem started after replaced fuel pump .... living with problem for over 2 years. Jetta GLS WAGON 4-D...

Front Wheel Bearing Noise
Replaced driver side front wheel bearing and recently noticed noise gets louder when I turn to the left. Do I need to replace the passenger side front wheel bearing or did the drive side bearing go bad?
