Problem with my car 
Solved
Volkswagen Jetta 2001 120000 miles
I own a standard Jetta 1.8T 2001 and, after perfectly starting the car and changing from first to second gear, EPC and ASR indicators turn on. I stop the car and it is not stable enough, revolutions go up and down. I then turn off the car, start it again and the same problem appears. Occasionally, after a while of driving and braking, the car stalls. Filters and spark plugs have been checked, injectors cleaned but everything is still the same. Could you please help me? It is really worrying and even dangerous. Thank you.

In case someone has my same problem, this was the solution to my problem: acceleration body cleanse, coils harness replacement and engine relay change (N° 428), which is located behind the MAF sensor, right next to the fire wall. Hope it helps someone.

RE
My 2017 VW Jetta had EPC and engine light on, and I took it to the dealer service in Summit, NJ. After the mechanic performed the diagnostics and found wiring damaged caused by Rodents. The wiring was repaired and rechecked and fault lights were cleared. The cost of the repair came to $564, not including sales tax. $555 (labor), $9.36 (2 connectors). I believe that I was overcharged with Labor cost while replacing $9.36 parts. I don't know what to do. Should I contact VW headquarter?

CommentDesaccelerates Solved
Volkswagen Jetta 2003 200000 miles
Hi... when driving my car on the street, the engine suddenly desaccelerates and revolutions go up to 4.0 and the engine feels absolutely strained. When I then press the accelerator, it won't go over 50 mph. It's been a week since this problem appeared for the first time, what can it be?

Many things might be causing your problem: a lack of tuning, uncalibrated TPS or some damaged sensor. You should check the spark plugs and their wiring, as well as the engine itself, which might be needing a service.
Never again vw from United States 3 years ago
It was a throttle issue because when you put it down to drive it slips down the S without knowing. Sucks.
CommentEngine revs while in park
Volkswagen Jetta 2005 4 door 259000 miles
You turn the car over and it idles really high then low repeatedly

Ypically, engines idle at about 600-800 rpm. Older engines may go up to 1200 rpm or more while warming up. But if the engine is revving up while idling, even after it's sufficiently warmed up, you might have a problem. High idle speeds waste fuel, cause extra wear and tear on your engine, and can be unsafe as well.

ECP Check engine light& oil light
Volkswagen Jetta 2015 135000 miles
My car is a push to start. When it starts it is very loud and I am consistently putting oil in my car every 2 weeks. It shakes when accelerating especially when going 40-60 mph and I can’t really accelerate much past 65. It also shakes when going up hill and the RPM will run high
