I believe that little black component is a capacitor to suppressor noise that might reach the radio. You don't want to cut that off or you might pick up ignition static in the radio.

Blower is shot. The bearings get dry and go bad...it just doesn't want to turn. If the speed indicator is full, the system is calling for fan. You don't have a fan.

I can't tell from what you wrote, but when you say the heater blowers don't work, are you saying that the fan on the heater doesn't come on? If you just hit the plus sign under the fan speed...

I'm not aware that it needs calibration. Just be sure you don't turn it at all. You cannot put it in if it turns 40˚, or 60˚, whatever. It won't fit, just turn it back. But you can, but should...

Yes, ABS and ESP both need to know why some wheels are rolling faster than others. The steering angle sensor (clock spring) tells it what to expect. They can go bad. If there is no communication,...

Turn the switch to off (O). Then push it in, turn it about 10 degrees to the right. Pull and the switch comes out. Can you get in there and change an LED? I have no idea.

Thowout bearing isn't moving when the cluthc is engaged. No matter how bad it is, when you don't have your foot off the clutch it's not doing a thing. Not sure what your other noise is. Has the...

Hard to say for sure, but the CV joints do click when they're bad. The fact that it makes the noise in neutral puts it somewhere in the running gear, and the CV joints make a lot of sense.

I hate to say this, but that motor is just a leaker. My 96 started leaking at 100,000 miles. Replaced all front seals, valve cover gaskets, half moons, but the head gaskets are known to leak...

Before you shop for a new pump or just unplug this one, take a look at this. Not your symptoms exactly, but if the rivits are loose it's not hard to image it making the sort of noise you have.

If it's an 03 you should be in the B6 forum, but think about the secondary air pump. That only runs when the motor is cold. If that's coming apart, that could be making that noise at start up.

Even if that turned off the light, it might come right back on. You need something (VAG-COM) that will tell why the light is on so you can fix it.
