I have this problem so bad that the metal connector on the bulb holder side has burned through entirely and made a hole in the connector prong! Is there like a redesigned or improved bulb holder version, or perhaps we need a lower current drawing bulb? Seems like a common problem.

I have this posted on Ebay. If your interested I can sell off of ebay as well. let me know! https://www.ebay.com/itm/283639956068?ul_noapp=true Chris

I've been wanting to swap in a new deck so I can play music from an aux or Bluetooth input as well but I prefer to keep all the stock wiring and look of the oem stereo. I've had bad luck with the tape adapters but I did just purchase a $20 one called i simple (purchased at car toys) and I'd say...

I just replaced my control arm bushings with the stiffer Audi TT bushings which I think are the same as yours essentially. I had a lot of trouble too but was able to replace them without removing the strut, tie rod or axle. The only solution I found was to first get the rear bushing in place...

Good to hear your success with the diesel purge. I have used that stuff on both the B4's I have owned and never saw any difference in smoking or mpg.

I've owned 2 B4 tdi's and they both did this to some degree. The 96 I have now is worse, puts out a bit of smoke (smells like diesel) at startup, seems to have no rhyme or reason, and is very random. Typically it does it more when its cold, but I've seen it do it warm too. To me it seems like...

I got my latesy one at bora parts for $100, had it in for a year now with no issues.

This is a classic issue with these motors. Out of the two cars I have fixed it on it has been the crank pulley with the rubber dampener in it. This guy is what you need: 028105243T The belt tensioner can a make a slight improvement but my bet is on the above.

I have the same problem, happens more when its warmer out. New battery did not fix my issue, still need to do this capacitor thing.

I had this same problem when bleeding my brakes too, I believe I have the same motive power bleeder. The rears wouldn't really bleed at all, the fronts a little better, its seemed to help a little if I pushed on the brake pedal with the bleeder hooked up but ultimately I ended up using the old...

Oh, beautiful, just what I was looking for. Do you have pictures with the expansion tank nipple port?

I'm reviving this one as I couldn't find anything else in the search. I could;ve sworn I saw somebody that was making the top coolant flange piece that comes off the head in aluminum??? Bueller?

Great link. Where has that been all my life! My window worked over the weekend with lots of use so I'm considering it fixed for now, looks like the tack welds as they came were just weak...now I've got gnarly ticking noises that seem to be coming from the injection pump, always something to...

Hi there, I'm trying to understand what the plastic egg shaped piece in the window regulator does. It appears to be a stop for the window/motor at the top and bottom of the stroke but I've also heard that the window is stopped by bottoming it out in the door frame and that extra load on the...
