I need help!
I need some directions on how to do the following:
1) I have to replace a rear passenger side wheel bearing. (What does it look like? I am getting mixed information from several auto stores)
2) I have to replace a Passenger Front Tie Rod
3) A driver side Control Arm
4) The biggest issue is the little green Plastic piece on the window control arm. It has broken on the passenger side front. Where can I get this part as well as how much it may be? The window falls down and won't roll back up without this piece. If your window parts inside the door panel are stock they are green plastic pieces directly below the window on an arm.
5) Another big issue: My check engine light is on and saying misfire to Cylinders 3 and 5. It has ran really rough for a day then the light shut off and ran fine. Then it will do it again and then be fine again. I've replaced spark plugs and it helped out a little bit. Any other things I should try? I'm about to do plug wires but they are ridiculously priced and wonder what the issue really is? Could it be a distributor cap? Does it even have one?
6) I had to replace the stock radio because it locked up. Ever since then it pops when I cut the power by taking the key out, shutting the radio off, or switching sources. What can I do to fix this? I thought it may be a high to low level module but when I ask around no one knows what I'm talking about.
I NEED HELP!!!! PLEASE ANY QUESTIONS THAT CAN BE ANSWERED WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!!!! EVEN IF YOU CAN ONLY ANSWER ONE QUESTION THAT WOULD BE A START!!!!!! THANK YOU!

Either purchase the VAG COM software and cable or see if your local parts store can scan it for you to see what's up with the CEL. I would wait on purchasing new plug wires until you do that.
You should also look into getting the bentley manual, it'll tell you everything you need to know.
