• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

Looking for the engine splash shield/guard for my '03 TDI, 5 speed. I left it at my prior house after I sold it. From my research '99-'03 will work as long as it's a TDI and manual. Thanks.

Located near Philly.

Forget the plastic dust cover that will not protest your fragile oil pan and engine from any of the following. Road gators, construction debris, dead animals, firewood, high spots or crowns in the road. Go with the dieselgeek as suggested.

Thanks guys. I do like the peace of mind from a skid plate (I'm a Jeep guy, I know how well they work!), but I have nearly 300,000 miles and the original oil pan without any damage. I have been running for almost 2 years without any splash shield. I'm trying to avoid adding to any corrosion that began after it was removed.

That link to eBay is for fender liners, but you can also find cheap engine shields there. I got a replacement side shield there after hitting a pot hole. I had the setup with the aluminum pan from ID parts. The cheap eBay version worked but is not the quality as the ones sold at ID Parts.

where are you located? I have stored my plastic oem one for you. Doubtful it's going to help corrosion however. Mine went 160k with the plastic shield but as soon as I put the dg on... i've hit many things that made me glad I have it.

Thanks - I forgot I had removed my location from my profile heh. I'm in the Philly 'burbs. I've considered picking one up from eBay or Amazon new, but they're not OEM and are thinner. With the amount of salt/brine they use on the roadways here in winter, it will definitely help prevent additional corrosion. I had mine until 285k miles approx. Noticed a big difference with the aluminum corrosion since it was removed.

i can get the new stuff if you like.

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine...r6r1NlkA5B3_XlhY2RpKAGaGXGOwMU8BoC3hoQAvD_BwE

but i can get it about $100 cheaper.

as you know, i hate the stupid metal skid plates. these fit and seal better protecting your components better from weather and road grime. they also decrease engine noise and aid in decreasing vehicle warm up times in the winter.

i remove more "metal kid plate kits" than i install in my shop and im in the north east....

Can you get the complete kit for anybody?
Would that include free shipping as well?
