Hello - I've been looking to buy a Q7 (TDI of course) for a while now, but wanted to know if anybody has compared the Q7 against the MB GL 350 BlueTEC. I have a 2013 Touareg TDI, so I sort of know what I'm getting into w/ the Q7. I've read lots about the pano roof and Air Suspension on the...

Hi - I am shopping for a Q7 TDI. Is there a way to check the VW claims portal and determine if a current owner has received the restitution payment on a specific vehicle? I've been to the VW claims portal, but don't see if there is a way to determine if the payment has already been settled...

I'm looking for a stock OEM, unmodified, Downpipe for a 2005 BEW TDI shipped to 94002. Thanks

Anybody around the Bay Area have a stock BEW ECU and Down Pipe to sell? Edit: I found an ECU. Just looking for the stock Down Pipe now.

Anybody local have a tool to remove and install rear axle bushings for a MK4? I'm not looking forward to doing this, but I'm going back to an OEM suspension on the Jetta and my rear's been clunking pretty hard lately. thanks, Ryan

Bought a 2005 PD on Coilovers. Looks GREAT, but I'd rather have a nice stock feel, so I'm looking for something OEM. Here is what I'm looking for. Front: It would be nice to find some Front VR6 Jetta Wagon Springs (2 blue/2 white dots) or a front Shines. Rear: Stock Wagons Shocks: Will...

Anybody know where I can buy a Cat 1R-0750 fuel filter in the SF Bay Area? Preferably in the South Bay or Peninsula?

2005 Jetta Wagon - VNT-17 - Eurojet SMIC - RC2+ I bought the car a year ago as an automatic, but had an issue with shifting gears, so the car sat for the last 9 months. Recently got it back into working condition and I hear a WHOOSH noise when accelerating between 1800 RPM and 2200 / 2300...

****update 10/26 - I think I've got a lock on what I need for this. Thanks to all those that responded**** I am hoping to find somebody with two (outside chance) that they want to sell so I can have 1 pallet shipped. Prefer not to have any super high mileage blocks. I don't need pistons or...

I have a knack for buying cars with bad transmissions...maybe its a sign that I should just stop buying Automatic POSs... 2001 Golf TDI - O1M...'nuff said...swapped out to an 02M :) 2002 Acura TL-S - Tranny replaced 24k, 56k, 137k 2005 Jetta TDI Wagon Automatic Tiptronic - Feels like the...

What's going on Bay Area? I'm not sure if this is going to work but I'm going to give it a shot...I was about to order a PD150 manifold from RyanP and thought it would be cool to cast a wider net to the rest of the Bay Area clubbers to see if there is any interest in getting a group order...

Limp mode issue (sorry...another one) 2005 Jetta Wagon I bought it w/ an AFE CAI (which I would like to replace w/ a PD150 TIP...but besides the point). RC2 tune, VNT17, EJ SMIC. I needed to pass SMOG so I put a stock air box on and on my way to the station, my car went into Limp Mode, CEL...

I've always thought that a car wasn't yours until you took a wrench to it...until now. On Saturday, I woke up @ 3:30 a.m. to catch a 7:00 flight from SFO > SEA and was back home in SF by 1:00 a.m. w/ this baby... The guy I bought the car from not only put all quality parts into it, but he kept...

As the title states, I am looking for a key FOB for a 2001 Jetta. P/N: 1J0 959 753 F PM me with what you have. Thanks

Hey all, I am doing a suspension refresh on the Jetta today. Does anybody in the Bay Area have a hydraulic press that they'd be willing to help me press a few bushings into the LCA's? I was trying to get the LCA's out before 5:00 so I could take it to a shop to do, but it's running late and...
