New Cabrio Owner! (needing help)
Hey, I'm new to the world of VW. My husband and I bought a 1999 Cabrio over the weekend. It needs some help, to be blunt it's a P.O.S, BUT! it's our pos. The frame is good, and the engine starts (now), and so that's a good start.
We spent all yesterday trying to get the car to get a spark. Replaced the Coil and installed a new camshaft sensor (which was the issue) It'll start up now but it's having issues idling.
The Car had been sitting 6 months with no gas, so we're suspecting the fuel filter is gunked up maybe.
Unless someone has some better input on what might cause a cabrio to not idle.
We have a litany of other items to fix as well, but for now step one is to get her running.

Is a Golf the same as a Cabrio? Like make and model? Or are they just very similar that no one minds the difference (like jeep TJ and jk wrangles or so on). Or are you meaning I should post in the golf forum section since this one is slow and not often used?
About the signature - I enjoy being able the track progress on fixing up the car, when it's all done its fun to look back and go "well dang it really looked like that!?" I see you have your car in yours as well

They made the cabriolet in a few models if you Google them?
You just call your 1999 VW Cabrio, the picture is a Golf.

the vin look up says - Cabrio GLS. so I figured that's what it was? I'm new to VW in general I tried to google the cars but it's really convoluted. So it's a Golf Cabrio GLS!
It's all really interesting to learn about. I've got a distributor coming today and if that isn't it I'll check the gaping on my plugs and wires.
