Some confusion with terminology here, when you say it wouldn't turn over does that mean it doesn't crank (which could be a battery), or it doesn't catch (which is likely not)? The rest of you post...

Wrong forum, the right forum might have better answers. Right now there is not enough information in your post to hazard a guess, when you say vibration what do you mean?

Operating the sunroof if the drive fails. If you open up the fuse cover on the driver's end of the dash the wrench should be clipped into the cover.

It has been a number of years since I did this but IIRC they are pop rivets, and I had to pull the window frame out of the door to drill them out and reattach. The frame comes out easy (it is the...

Well, sounds like you have done most of what would be suspect, however the difference in the hose temperatures suggests that you are not circulating coolant though the radiator. The fact that you...

Do a search for coolant temperature sensor (CTS), and the elbow it mounts in.

Cranking is the starter motor turning the engine over. If the engine doesn't turn over it doesn't matter if the ignition components are working, that is why I needed to understand which was...

Are you saying that it doesn't crank, or it doesn't start once you have it cranking? These are two completely different issues, and if it doesn't crank I'm confused as to why you have been replacing...

The 1.8T has an oil cooler, and IIRC it is a problem area. I would check that first as it is much easier and cheaper.

If you are not leaking fluid the first place I'd look is the master cylinder. They can leak internally just returning the fluid to the reservoir. Keep in mind that the slave can leak into the bell...

They do that, mine has done it since I chipped it (last 17 years). Not a problem, IIRC you could change the hoses on the turbo over to the automatic version and it would stop. It is like you are...

Original was 152 teeth, but that used a smaller pulley. Yours looks to be the current design, so I don't think that is the problem. The only thing I can think of that would make the belt to long is...

I agree, it is loose, don't run it that way, it could get expensive very fast. IIRC that looks to be the correct tensioner, so I'm confused. I would start by verifying that it is really the correct...

The electrical part is separate from the lock, it mounts on the back. And yes, a bad switch could keep the car from cranking. I would note that there are other issues that could keep it from...

The pump is on the washer bottle. You are just looking at the nozzle, and I suspect it can only be bought as the assembly.

If the coolant is constantly bubbling then something is pushing gas under pressure into the coolant. You are not going to like it, but the most likely is the head gasket. I would go get a leak down...

If the key is not moving back from start the switch is likely bad. It does have an internal spring.

The temperature sensor on the back of the head does fail, it has separate sensors for the gauge and engine, so a bad gauge sensor may not effect operation. As far as fuel level I'd check the sensor...

4Driver4 is likely correct, the chain and tensioner is at the back of the head between the camshafts. The cam drive from the crank is a belt on the front.
