2012 VW Jetta GLI trouble starting, stalls right after starting...
My 2012 VW Jetta GLI has trouble starting when cold starting (regardless of cold weather or warm weather), stalls after starting (warm or cold), and the accelerator seems to not be responsive, it tends have trouble accelerating and then jolt forward when I give it a little more gas. I just had the fuel module, fuel pump replaced, as well as the typical servicing.

2012 VW Jetta gli cylinder 4 misfire
Replaced cylinder 4 coil pack (twice) along with spark plug. Threw a cylinder 4 misfire code AGAIN! Note, all coil packs and spark plugs were replaced as well at same time, just cylinder 4 threw code second time. I'm baffled.

Where is the connection under my hood to hook up my horn for my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta ?
I had taken my car in to have the front bumper fixed and when I got it back the horn had been disconnected.......
