Are you certain the DPF is bad? 25k miles is VERY short life so there may be something else happening. Before you spend $1,000 on a replacement, might be worth a second opinion.

There isn't an interchangeability question: the DMF126 works for all North American TDIs. Matching the P/N on the factory flywheel can be a challenge since most people need their vehicle back on the road and don't have the oppurtunity of pulling the flywheel, looking up the part number and then...

What's old is new again! We went through this maybe 10 years ago when the first batch of flywheels were failing. Some cars were specified for the 181 number, others the 126. Here's the thing though - all the other equipment was identical & no difference in starter version. The only...

The 2013 is after the VIN split so will most likely use the 30mm version. Happy to double check just email us your VIN!

We have a few sets of the PD head studs left. They are 100% ARP components, including stud, washer and nut. We have them custom manufactured for us. Others may have different arrangements. It took ARP 8+ months to get the stock we have now manufactured and delivered. Once we're out of...

I remember MB teasing a Bluetec hybrid e-class at NAIAS back in 2012. Dreams…

12k a year is 33 miles a day, so the majority of daily use falls into the battery sweet spot. That’s the whole Point: maximize efficient design. Also worth noting that using EVs for highway driving has a huge range hit and Level 3 charging isn’t cheap. (It’s actually much more expensive once...

Actually thats reverse - they DO make sense because of economics. It is much cheaper (and lighter) to build an engine than it is to add the equivalent range in battery capacity. (F150 lighting 1800lb battery, 3.5L V6 under 500 lbs.). Lugging around all that extra battery capacity, which is...

In May 2020 IDParts launched our first ever customer loyalty program, called the IDParts Preferred Customer Program. So many of you have been with us for years, some over a decade (at this point some approaching TWO decades 😁) and we wanted to be able to show you our thanks for your business...

We've been working a lot with ARP in the past few years with custom head stud kits for some diesel models, and (finally) we have a genuine ARP head stud kit for PD engines. ARP has been REALLY delayed in manufacturing due to, well, everything, but they arrived last week after nearly a year of...

Usually referred to as inlet hose or inlet adapter. There is not one that we have available without the CCV/low press EGR port.

Sold.

Nothing, I mean NOTHING, will ever live up to the Mk4 Jetta. I still remember to this day the first time I saw one. Coming from the Mk3 and considering the overall automotive market design at the end of the 90s, the Mk4 Jetta was jaw dropping. Smooth lines, great proportions, and thats before...
