It's super easy. Remove old part, place new part on and press to fit. You should hear a click when it seats. It took a little more pressure than I expected. -D...

I just installed this: http://www.crutchfield.com/s_130P6200BT/Pioneer-DEH-P6200BT.html?search=pioneer_p6200bt&skipvs=T. Pretty simple install in my Golf. Just be sure to cut the wires as short as you can and still get a good solder. Also +1 on basic timing. -D...

I bought my Golf there new back in 2001. Used to let them do the oil changes until I got my car back with a oily thumbprint on my a pillar. Guess I owe them, it was their inattention to my car that started me doing my own maintenance, but I agree, stay away from their service department. -D...

Yeah, I've had that kit in my shopping cart for a few weeks now. Just can't pull the trigger right now due to wheel bearings, load bar end caps, hub caps and mats. Just blew my parts budget. Next month for sure. If you get it first, let me know what you think... -D...

But wait, there's more: Short form: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=836166 Longer Step by Step http://www.nclh.org/car/coilover_howto/ As always, I recommend the strut spreader tool mentioned in the coilover reference...made the job nice and easy... -D...

Looks like an EGR Cooler Pipe to me. The ALH one is around 150 (idparts has it at 149 and 1stwvparts has it at 115). Assuming this is your 1998 Jetta, I'd call around and see what it costs for the AHU, couldn't be much more. -D...

Welcome to the Lou- I used to live there. If you're buying a loft downtown, you may be in my old office on Washington Blvd. There is a good amount of lake sailing in the locations listed and closer to you in Creve Coeur. http://www.sailccsa.com/ Enjoy! -D...

i just bought fronts from here: http://www.weathertech.com/?gclid=CKLL39vTqKcCFRN-5QodZEEWAw. The driver side was close to OEM size-wise, but the passenger side was bigger. -D...

Yup, and if you're lucky, everything will go well. If you're me...well do something like they do for the '06's. :) http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=268268 -D...

Pull the power, pull the top of the assembly away from the tank and the pump will just pop out. Note which hose is which and _gently_ remove them from the pump. -D...

It was the pump on mine. Easy fix, just be careful of the hard plastic hose to pump connectors, they like to split on removal. -D...

I tried the quick swap and instantly regretted it. O-ring remained seated and coolant leaked everywhere. Should have drained first. -D...

Impex lists the rack new at 340 (USD) http://www.worldimpex.com/parts/german-steering-rack-new_850553.html, probably ends up close to your 500 with shipping and duty. Can't wait to see the video when you do the work.

Great tip! Mine really need a good cleaning out- know what I'll be doing this weekend.
