Hey, I am replacing the condenser and I am looking at the small red starter wire which seems to be losing it's insulation and the braided ground wire is looking corroded to. It is also making that grinding noise for a second after starting which to me is synonymous with a starter beginning to...

I am going to go with the finger/wrist/arm idea. Thank you.

Hi, I have tons of bb shaped metal in the condenser and drier from not replacing the drier when I did a compressor change. The line from the drier to the evaporator is clogged up as well. I just installed a replacement condenser and drier. Some questions: 1) How hard is it to replace that...

Alrighty, thanks. I just encountered another stoppage which will certainly allow me to wait for the bolts.

The torque specs are readily available but the problem is just like it is many times in that it is difficult to get a torque wrench in there. Last time I tightened to what I thought was reasonable only to ruin one of the 4mm cap screw heads. I can tighten the bolt just fine but can't remove it...

Oh heck no!!!! I wish I had it as easy as you! My 21 year old sedan blows ice cold with me at the helm of both AC systems even with foam spitting in my eyes! I am willing to bet that my new TXV is clogged again with BBs because I am too much of an ac hood rat to change the dryer and this is...

Thanks!

I have been holding off checking this stuff cause I was scared of the enormity of the task. Is there any video on checking this. I am having a hard time visualizing this.

No, I did not flush the system. I did not change the drier. I was a bad boy I know. I have a condenser with drier ready to put on but it looks like a pain in the butt to install.

Fans run fine and compressor clutch engages fine when ac button is pressed. Just replaced txv valve which was original and had alot of bb looking ferrous material in it from a previous failed compressor I assume. Most threads here show 30 low 175 psi is reasonable at 75 psi ambient so no...

Any idea what the issue can be? Seems 175 high side 30 low side is more like it. Thanks.

Thanks for taking a stab at it.

There are people in a Jetta Facebook group saying that the GTI MK4 spoiler fits the MK4 JSW. Now the pictures of that arrangement don't look that flattering to me but it gets the job done and I don't see any difference dimension wise. Is there then any reason that a non gti MK4 Golf spoiler...

I think you guys disagree here though: "That spoiler looks like it would help." Not starting a war. He did say it could be better if it were closer but can't get around that part. 🙂 I can't get around the idea of a horizontal object above the roofline not causing additional drag. If I am...

Nuje and Tdeanl..you guys have opposing perspectives. Which one is right? 🤔

All I can say is that I had a nightmare scenario with the Stiggan turbo along with the previous owner. I usually discount "use only OEM equipment" stories in enthusiast communities as a way of helping vendors profit. Well that was not the case here. Even though I am a risk taker, I try to...

Stay away from Stiggan!

Thanks, removal of the rails for drag reduction...perhaps based upon my limited understanding or previous threads here saying to do it?

Any additional thoughts?

While true, I was hoping this could be discussed in generalities. To me, any obstruction to wind hurts fuel economy.
