reposting available again (I never sold it years ago because my replacement interior fell through) to gauge interest. I'm going to part out this car.

Had the timing belt service been done?

PM'd

Is the rear hatch still present? I'm chasing tornado red clearcoat blemishes

which application is it for?

This interior was upholstered nicely and has held up well. Unique color pops and easily passes off as OEM. No cracks in door cards or speaker grilles. I have been getting unsolicited offers for years but now it's time to offer it up. All 4 seats, 5 headrests and door cards complete. (also...

I know this thread is almost 5 years old but I wanted to revive it because I just noticed the exact same issue on my 2003 Jetta and I haven't found other posts mentioning this issue. One of the wires appears to have completely burnt itself off the connector. No CEL and the car has always...

2003 jetta tdi 5spd. My mother's car- she hit a bad bump that broke the pan. Fortunately she shut the car down when the oil light came on and had it towed to MrChill's. He replaced the oil pan with a new aftermarket unit but (what appears to be) the oil drain plug has a constant small drip...

I have my 96 B4 and 97 B4 engine and transmissions and am considering a 1998 beetle tdi that needs one but I don't know which engine it has, more importantly will they mate up? Thanks

it was a used compressor that seemed a little dry so I put the oil in it. On your suggestion I just checked the evaporator drain and it is clear. I'll probably open it up, swap the drier, expansion valve and put real VW brand orings on the compressor (the "universal" metric oring kit didn't have...
