For what its worth I had the phase 2 last week, light burning smell at startup that passed quickly after running a bit. Today, about a week and 300 miles after I had smoke coming out at a red light as a regen cycle started, was a couple miles from the dealer that did the work, and just rolled...

Did the OP end up doing the testing deal? I just got my letter in the mail for my '15 GSW this and am considering it, but trying to find out more info on the deal.

Thanks I thought it was that easy, but it would not budge. Ill give it another shot today. Thanks for the tip on the bolt spacing too, the stuck nut saved me from future disaster

I was going to pull my spare and try to swap it with my full size tire from the 2000 golf I recently sold. It was a the moment of sale that we tried to make the swap, and I realized that I can not figure out how to get the spare out of my new car. The pic in the manual is not quite like the...

The Golf has found her new home where she is most likely to be restored to operating glory as a commuter for a young guy. Thank you to everybody here who has helped me keep her alive for the last 15 years or so. as well as all the interest in the thread and PM channels.

tires rolled for 4 days before the clutch let lose, so relatively new. assortment of springs, new in box rear suspension arm bushings, front torsion bar bushings, winter air filter, oil filter, rear disk rotors, rear pads. older and newer VAG-Com cables, the car runs and idles, but will not go...

anybody want to make a reasonable offer before I part this one out? So far every deal or interest has fallen off before it got off the ground. Considering the tires, and spare parts alone it is a very fair deal for the right fit. I do have the ability to invoke a 100 mile tow from triple A...

Bump to top just because selling this weekend would be awesome. Did I mention it is a 15 year old car with no rust and or bolts rusted in place? Hooray California for preserving active cars

No engine mods, outside of near stock injectors and stealth EGR. It sipps a little oil and coolant in hot weather. about a quart of each every three to 5K, and just runs. I was honestly planning on just doing the timing belt and pushing it through to the spring. The clutch issue made that...

Bumping to the top, and hoping to sell this, and not learn about dropping off a car at the scrap yard. I have a 100 mile AAA tow to help get her to the next stopping point if needed

The Mk4 Garage Clean out continues. Sway bar bushings that came as part of a suspension bushing kit, but were not needed at the time, new in the box. Found a bin of springs, front stock and a rear set from a Jetta wagon. These were from the time that I was developing a 2" lift kit that worked...

First pass through the garage and found all this to include; 20150816_122237 by rperks1, on Flickr I have a box of various front and rear springs from the time when I was getting the 2" lift sorted out. No longer lifted. I am sure there is more to come out and be included. Without another...

I should also add the fact that it may bee what was considered a 1999.5 or early German built 2000. Aside from basic manual interior upgraded with GTI parts where needed, it is mostly original stuff, original relay 109, and many of the MKiv issues never made an appearance, it just ran and ran...

More Pictures. I still need to pull the rear head rests and cargo area cover out of storage. 8.15 2000 Golf TDI-1090308 by rperks1, on Flickr 8.15 2000 Golf TDI-1090306 by rperks1, on Flickr 8.15 2000 Golf TDI-1090305 by rperks1, on Flickr 8.15 2000 Golf TDI-1090304 by rperks1, on Flickr 8.15...
