Contacted you via text about rear springs, still waiting for pics and shipping. Thanks.

Been trying to get a hold of Greengeeker via PM, but no response. Nick, if you are out there, send me a PM please!

A5 front wheel hub replacement Looking for someone to do a passenger side wheel hub replacement between Fridley to Cambridge area - i can drive to you. I've got the new hub & bolts, thinking I'd do the install, but have had NO time to do it. Anyone available to do this job for me?

Sold!

Hehe - I didn't intended to question GG's reputation or expertise. I know you guys know your stuff. In the end, it's still my car and safety - and I'm pretty partial to my body parts - so just wanted to confirm. I do appreciate the help!

I'd planned on that, but is that sufficient? All DIYs I've read mention supporting the engine from above as well (for safety, and to keep engine from shifting for easier mount reattachment). Not necessary?

With the economy the way it is, I need to save every penny. So I'm considering performing the timing belt change on my A5 Jetta myself. This is not preferred, since I don't have the time to dedicate hours at a crack - so it's going to take me a few days to get it done. I've got the TB kit and a...

GTI/GLI honeycomb upper grill for sale. It is currently Plasti-Dip painted matte black (shield portion and trim-stripe piece only). Stock chrome VW emblem is also included with the grill! Pic when it was on my Jetta: This was on my car for about a year. It is in very good shape with...

That is great advice right there! What also helps is to use a "super absorbent" towel (high quality microfiber or "shamwow" material) that will wick the spot/dirt away from the fabric. Blot, don't rub.

Keep an eye on leaks under the car - the washer resevoir is located front left side if that was cracked. Obviously, radiator and intercooler are major concerns too.

^^ ditto... haven't attacked this yet, and really want to know where the drains are located!

There is was an issue with clunk or grinding noises when turning full lock. I believe there is a TSB for an additive in the transaxle. Check this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=248631&highlight=noise+when+turning

Nope, not really. I mean, where do they drain to? I can see the drain holes in the sunroof, but cannot locate where the tubes ultimately exit. I've read the rears terminate somewhere near the rear wheelwells, and the fronts either near or along the front edge of the door jambs, or behind the...

What luck... At the same time I received the VW class action letter about the leaky sunroof drain issue, I had some water on my passenger side a-pillar today from heavy rains. My passenger side drain appears to be not draining properly - but I can't find the drain nipple everyone has described...
