If you're unable to determine the gender of the beast, bring it to the nearest lake and see if it floats... if it does, it's a Buoy Scout...


(Sorry about that...)

Yuri, this is a family board, shame on you!

Mike did an IP swap for me today to an 11mm pump on my Beetle. Long story short... Mike is the best!

Thanks Gary. Your kind words are appreciated.

Monty Python?

I am booking into January. I still have a few spots left in December but not many. Thanks for all the support.

I never gave Mike a proper review after all the work he did for me.

He worked on my now gone 2004 Wagon w/ auto. So the first thing after purchasing it was run it up to him and have he T-belt done with some other odds & ends. It was changed on time by a VW dealer but we all know how that can go. Wouldn't you know it the rollers were not replaced.

Cam looked fine and it ran well enough so that was on the back burner till it needed to be done.

Transmission while slow in shifting sometimes wasn't horrible even Mike said don't touch it till it breaks. Change the fluid and be happy.

Fast forward to the new suspension Koni FSD's which now barely had 10k miles on them and will be sitting in a junkyard somewhere along with all the other rebuilt suspension bits. He was thorough and even talked me into them a bit because with the special it wasn't much more than the Reds which I was going to get.

I couldn't have been more amazed at how the car felt compared to the sloppy worn OEM. I just wish I would have had more time to enjoy it.

It doesn't hurt that Mike always has a story to tell!

Unless there is a cancellation, December is fully booked. Thanks to all and Happy Holidays!

Mike, thanks for pricing out that rear-view mirror for the station wagon so quickly. I hope to see you soon for the other work we discussed. You and Maria have a great holiday.

Thank's Charles, same to you and the wife!

Any tire specials coming up? I'm leaning towards the michelin primacy mxm4 for my Passat in 235-40-19 size. That or the continental contiprocontact. Have a good one - John

i'll get you pricing tomorrow

mike, i bought another set of springs for the rear. theyre coming from canada this time. shouldnt take more than a week... will give you a call tomorrow.

John, Michelins are either 243.25 or 261.50 depending on if the cheaper warehouse has them available. The conti's are 246.77 each.

Cool - thanks. Guess I gotta make a decision... Oh - someone on the east coast thread (from NJ) is looking for a Malone dealer - you are one, right?

Yes, however I cannot currently do anything past 06. I will know today if we are going to upgrade to the better tool.

I sent you a PM Mike.

I took care of it as far as I remember. if you didn't get my reply, let me know.

Happy January to all.

Hey mike i have been emailing you recently (deadguy11) and i found this thread just now. I aaked you about a tb install on an 03 tdi. I was wondering if u could pm me a price for new rear shocks/ front struts and bearing caps etc as well thanks.

Great, a worthy TDI mechanic in my area!

Mike I might have to schedule an appointment if I can't figure out whats wrong with my car. Not to get too into it but it kicked a P0404 EGR perf. Unplugging the EGR restored power, but now I get the dreaded P2564 turbo actuator. Hope its the wires :/

I haven't been here in a while so time to update. I have been routinely booking 2-3 weeks back. If you need to get in touch with me, the best way is to call the shop or e-mail me at mmautcyc1@gmail.com.
Something new is coming in about a month or 2 so stay tuned.
Stay warm everyone! Watch out for the coming snow.

Hope everyone did ok yesterday.
I am getting excellent feedback on the Conti Pure contacts I have been selling. It looks like it may become a "go-to tire" like the Primacy. I have another set going on tomorrow.

All this snow is putting me behind. I am booked into March now. Thanks everyone.

If you are planning on coning up, please be extra careful. My lot is very icy and there is no salt to be found anywhere.
I have been considering the purchase of the tuning tool for 09 and up TDI's. I am going to do it but not before April. At that point I should have another announcement or 2 of interest to TDI owners.

Salt isn't the best thing for icy driveways...

Sand helps traction and doesn't melt through the surface...

True, I will have to get something.

Hey Mike build a bomb fire LoL. It must be hell up there.
