Kirk,

Talked to you last night about it, but could you put my name down for a tune, EGR and immobilizer delete? Looking forward to the meet! Got it wrote down on the calendar so I won’t forget. Thanks!

Looking forward to it!

Thanks for hosting. It’s a great event every year. I’d love some help with getting a key cut and programming a key fob for my 06 Jetta. I have a key blank to use. Put me down for that. I’m also looking for a mkiv parts car with a good manual transmission for my brother if anybody has a parts car or a 5 speed tranny for sale. Message me. Thanks !

I would also like to offer my services in this manner. Besides, I'm getting too damn old for the "Bellypanman" gig. :p

Maybe we should just skip the GTG and meet at a restaurant, eh?
How about Los Tres Amigos? Now I am getting hungry for Mexican food. YUM!

Looks like the dilution of TDI's has begun as Mark of Diesel has a (gasp!) gas Tiguan! :eek: Hope he remembers the focal point of this GTG is vehicles that do not have spark plugs or coil packs! ;)

It's good JETaah and others will provide the food eating services. That means the rest of us will be in charge of the DRINKING services! :D

Mark's Tiguan is just a platform for a GTG gut job to install a TDI engine.
Mark, we are all waiting for the fun to begin. Have you told Kirk your plans yet?

Doug, which car are you looking to get a fob and valet key for?, I need to clarify on the list.

Hmmm - do you think Mark plans to shoehorn a V10 TDI into it? :cool:

I have a 2003 Jetta Wagon and I recently discovered my carpet has been getting wet and probably moldy underneath. Almost have it pulled (just need the front seats out now)...
Does anyone have a clean grey carpet and foam/rubber backer that they want to bring to the gathering and part with?

A new carpet is not going to fix your water ingress issue. Does your wagon have a sunroof? If 'yes' check the sunroof drains to see if they are clogged up.

You may want to contact Chris Thompson (username CTTDI) as he is local to Kirk and has brought parts to sell at Kirk's GTG's in the past. I believe he works at a salvage yard and might be able to find you a wagon carpet/backing.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look him up.
I don't have a sunroof but I think I've narrowed it down to a clogged up fender drain, causing water to back up and pour in through the firewall by the hood release cable.

Planning to fix that this weekend, and just want the replacement carpet to be free of mold.

As far as I'm concerned, the focal point of these GTGs has always been the people regardless of their fuel type used to get there. :p If VW in their infinite wisdom had offered the U.S. a TDI Tiggy, I would've been right at the front of the line to get one but alas, it is not to be and I wanted one more new vehicle with warranty before I retire, 'nuf said. Hey Aaron, I believe I can speak for Marty when I say we'd be honored to have you as the 3rd Amigo and no points will be deducted for DSG juice on your person...

The Sprockets will be there too! I have some stuff to sell that I can bring with me if anyone is interested. I'll put a list together.

Touareg 20" Mountain wheels w/ Toyo Proxes 4 plus. These came off my 2010 Touareg. 14k miles on them.
sale thread here: https://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/...-w-toyo-proxes-4-plus-264641.html#post2016729

Frost Heater for a 2012 Golf - Brand new in the box it came in. M&M's don't come with the box though :p
http://www.frostheater.com/

DSG Service Kit from ID Parts.

I'll also sell my 2005 VW Passat w/ 6 speed manual & my 1996 Passat Wagon. I haven't put together sale threads on these yet, but will do so soon. If anyone's interested, lets talk.

Since there is talk about people bringing parts they have to sell, does anyone have a black glove box, a black center console, an antenna, a front right black rubber floor mat (or a set of all 4 black rubber mats) for a 2000 Jetta? If you do, I’ll bring some money! Maybe I’ll have to check out the for sale pages on here...
Thanks!

I've got a set of rubber floor mats I was planning on bringing. They're basically off-brand monster mats.

I for one am looking forward to the stories you undoubtedly will be regaling us at the GTG with that concern the effects of putting diesel fuel into a gasser Tiggy as old habits will be hard to break, right?! ;) :p
