Thank you for the tip! Great handle, btw :-)

I just received a DM from "Barbara73" saying: You can checked with Dave, he has it available. You can confirm from him, his contact is (240) 452-1319 I purchased items from him in the past and they arrived in top condition. I am pretty sure both Barbara73 and Dave@(240) 452-1319 are confirmed...

I agree. My posting here was an attempt to cover all the bases. I would prefer not to paint unless necessary. However, I do have a booth and spray gun (and respirator) for stuff like this. I did find a trunk in perfect condition for $100 which will save me much labor. I am hoping to do the...

I really appreciate your offer Andy. 3,000+ miles is a long road trip for a hood which would require painting so I'll take a pass for now. If it was Silver Arrow I could be tempted :)

Thanks! I had not seen the Midwest Lighting site before. I didn't want to wait until mid-August for the VX Tuning models as I want to drive now :-)

The only place I can find Hello E-codes is ECS Tuning and they are not cheap. There are a lot of Chinese cheapos out there but I don't feel like wasting my time and money. What the heck do folk in Europe to when they need to replace a headlamp? If I can figure that out, I may be able to just...

Thanks Drucifer, I would prefer to purchase from a known vendor and possibly a member of TDIClub - but I figure it is worth my due diligence on this vendor. I am not overly concerned with safety inspectors as Colorado doesn't require safety inspections and I am not aware of any western state...

How close is the Reflex to Arrow? I think the Reflex is a little more grey perhaps? I think VW went to Reflex in 2003.

I am located in Colorado and willing to drive to you if the hood is in excellent condition. I prefer the Silver Arrow over the Reflex Silver from the latter MK4 years. Thanks! -Faster

Apologies if this is an FAQ. My search-fu seems to be failing as I was unable to find much in prior threads. I need to get back in practice. I joined a Dan Simoes group purchase many years ago for Hello Eurospec headlights for my Jetta TDI. Recently, an elk cow danced on my hood and broke...

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. This one is clutched for sure. I will check to be sure the freewheel is still working correctly. I must have been thinking of my MK3 where it was mounted on top of of the accessory drive stack.

I've only ever seen solid pulleys on MK4s - including mine. Hence, the question ;)

I just received a new INA serpentine belt tensioner and in the box was a service bulletin for 1.9 TDI engines recommending replacing the stock alternator pulley with an over-running model. I have seen those on newer models but was not aware of the option for the MKIV ALH engines. Is it worth...

Thank you for sharing. How did you put your OEM sensor back together? I see one reputable vendor that is selling the OEM version for ~US$65. I glued mine together once. This time I may also incorporate a zip-tie to "assist" with keeping it together.
