<sigh> Thanks for the pointer. Sorry for the reading comprehension issues..... Closest to San Diego is LA, a couple hours away. Anyone know of anyone near San Diego?

Where does this fabled document exist? (Member Recommended TDI Mechanics - By State List) Looking for a mechanic in the San Diego CA area TIA

bump - no TDI peeps in southern cal ?

Moved from Maine to San Diego last summer, and it's time for some work. An oil change is of immediate concern, but I'd like to find someone who does good work for a fair price that I can trust going forward. The car is a 2015 GSW. I thought there used to be a discussion area for just this...

Someone must want these, winter's coming right up.

Price dropped to $500

Mostly complete ALH engine for sale. No starter/injectors/AC/injection pump. Compression is good, turbo is original and questionable. If you just want another 50K miles on an old beater you can add a turbo and injection system and be good to go, but I think it's more of a rebuild candidate...

16" 5x100 steelies. Set of four, cleaned and painted before use last winter. It probably isn't worth shipping these. Available for pickup in Augusta ME, or I'll deliver/meet you somewhere in Maine, southern NH or Eastern MA. Asking $100 for the set. Make me an offer if that's out of line.

Hi All; My 2015GSW, purchased last halloween, refuses to start in this cold weather (0 to low negative degrees). The dealer says the battery is only warranted for 2 years and won't replace it under warranty. I talked with the local service manager, and they swear the TDI's use the same...

Roughly 250K miles, so the buyer is probably buying for rebuild purposes.... The engine is from a 2000 Jetta that I bought new. Never a runaway, the rods and everything should be fine. Has: block, internal engine parts, head (replaced by dealer at 60,000 miles), injectors you can swap for...

To those of you who have done a DPF delete, do you now have a smoky exhaust when you punch the gas or are at WOT ? I'd consider the DPF delete, but I'd really want to know I wasn't making it obvious that I'd done it every time I stepped on the gas. David

Aye, that's the question. Towing stuff or just driving fast it'd be nice to upgrade the brakes once it's time for a break job. I don't want to be breaking new ground here - there must be a plug-n-play solution taking parts from an Audi something-or-other, or maybe a tiguan or CC. Just...

Thanks 740.... If I use bigger tires can I fix the speedo with VCDS ? Thanks, David

Happy owner, so far, of a 2015 GSW SEL with a mere 8K miles on it. Replacing a 2003 jetta wagon that was fixed up quite nicely. I'd like to upgrade the handling, and really like having the car flat in the corners. There were a bunch to choose from with the 03, but I've only seen the one from...

I loved a set of conti purecontact with ecoplus technology that I had on a mk4 jetta. I'll probably buy a set when the stock tires wear out on my 15 GSW. On a related note..... Does anyone have any suggestions on a set of winter rims for snows? I'd be happy with some cheap steelies, but I...

bump No opinions at all? Not worth much because ALH's are over 10 years old? Thanks, David

200ish thousand miles. New head at 60,000 (VW dealer screwed up the timing belt job). Ran fine, never had a runaway, shouldn't have any bent rods. It didn't smoke when retired, and I believe the compression is fine. I can include a 10mm pump that needs a rebuild and set of injectors that...

Thanks for the replies :) Any way to gauge how many are left to come back into the market? Will 2016's come back as well, or did the model year disappear because of the scandal? I'd rather wait six months to buy one, but if they're not going to be available or they get more expensive I'd take...

I've found enough info on increasing the HP on a 2015, and tuning the DSG to handle it. What's available for the rest of the chassis? Can I firm up the ride with springs and something like Koni's FSD shocks/struts? The brake rotors look pretty small - are there alternatives available there...

There haven't been many purchases talked about on this thread for a while. Does anyone know how many 2015's are still coming into the market? Used or new? I'm seeing lots of used vehicles on ebay/autotrader/cars.com, many referencing the 2015 new price. What price should I expect to pay...
