Found one 3A0 601 025 on ebay from a seller with large numbers of feedback --- done for good with Vortex. I am posting link in case anyone else is looking for one. Once delivered, I'd feel more confident driving my B4 sedan with suspension conversion and 5-lug wheels...

I placed a WTB ad on VW Vortex for a 5-lug donut spare wheel, and all 5 responses I received were from BS scam artists with the classic "send payment as friends & family"! Even after I offered to send MORE than they asked for to cover PayPal fees, they insisted on F&F payment. Conisdering that...

I recently completed conversion of my 1996 B4 sedan suspension to upgraded heavier VR6/GLX suspension with 5-lug wheels. Now looking for the 3A0 601 025-03C donut 5-lug steel spare. Shipping to zip code 22202. Please send PM

Now that I have 16" wheels, 5-lug configuration ( B4 VR6 size - 16" X 7 ET 35, 5X100 mm), I am looking for a VR6/GLX 5-lug donut steel spare wheel 3A0 601 025-03C and of course this is NLA from VW US. I already placed a WTB on Vortex, and searched e-bay with no luck. Anyone here with a tip...

The trunk on my 1996 B4 sedan was showing substantial leakage and smelling moldy. All the obvious gaskets looked intact. I think today my "local guru" solved the mystery ..... the gasket surround for the trunk lock has apparently deteriorated and dry rotted badly.

Anyone has male and / or female clips that go on the back side of the rub strips, and in the sheet metal? Please send PM.

Hi Tyler: Here's picture of the two pieces of rub strip that I can us. The long one on the left rear passenger door, and also the small one next to to the wheel well. wheel well.

also the small rub strip on the rear left quarter panel near the wheel well. Any color is OK, as the body shop will repaint in textured black Rhino Liner to match the rest of my B4V. Opted to do this for the e-spec look, and some functionality. Rhino Liner doesn't scratch as easily as paint...

Apologize in advance for the long post. Today we finally picked up the 1996 sedan with completed front suspension upgrade to 1996 GLX /VR6 OEM plus. All OEM, OEM plus or German parts sourced form ebay Latvia sellers, or from Germany via the parts department at Harbour View VW in western Canada...

To avoid insurance company write off when I was faced with a similar situation and discussed here on the Forum in some detail, I contacted NiceCarsTDI (I am well aware of their mixed reputation here on the Forum) and paid for a private estimate as allowed by Virginia law when car owner disagrees...

I got my B4V back from body shop and except for the TDI logo on the front grill I think it's back to where it was before the accident. Thanks to parts and parts advice from TDIDaveNH, tdidieselbobyny, steves96tdi, Abacus and the good folks at Harbourview VW parts Dept (they sourced all manner...
