Unfortunately I have decided to part ways with my '02. The girl and I need something a big more comfy (larger) and she wants modernity... The car is aesthetically challenged. Rust, dents, cracked windshield, scratched door -- but reliable as hell. I would rather see her used to keep others...

VD Autoshop in Saint-Polycarp. Dominic knows his stuff.

What if you stay in the car? ;)

His complaint was about the lack of professionalism, which you've now just proven further by stamping your foot here. I agree he didn't necessarily use the thread as intended, but you letting "it cool down a little over the weekend before responding" makes me shake my head as to why you even...

I love my tints. I can pick my nose with less judgement.

I would definitely check the intercooler for oil collection, that may either point you towards a bad turbo, or bad head work.

Seeing as there is some FOD damage, the snow screen probably helped you.

If it's got no shaft play, not consuming oil, or doing the dentist drill. I would go over the entire turbo inlet path and change the filter. Keep driving, and worry less.

Sorry to hear that! Also, glad I didn't bother.

Got a set. Painted them. They're impossible to find with clean (non-peeling) lips, and I couldn't be bothered to split them to paint.

That's an assumption and a half.

Got to agree. I went with Zimmerman rotors and NAPA Premium Ceramics and this is the best braking MK4 I've ever driven.

Skirts have good fitment. The bumper fitment isn't so great.

I think if it were me, I would try replacing the dogbone. If it's original then it doesn't hurt, and it's the easiest/cheapest to replace.
