I'm in for dog bone or motor mounts

Crank seal is pretty common one. Now what really sucks, is if you get a leak from between the gear housing and block...because in order to replace that $10 gasket, cam has to come out...which means radiator frame support has to be cut, lifters have to be held in place and not dropped into the...

I'm a T6 guy. Reason is, my motorcycle uses it, dirtbike uses it, car and truck both use it, and my girfriend's motorcycle and dirtbike use it. Only thing at our place that doesn't take it is her 4Runner. It's nice to have one oil that works in everything. I'm glad it's back on shelves, because...

Yeah, QA is way off would be my guess too. Even if you THINK it's re aligned to your marks, it can be too far off to start Ask me how I know...

I'm going HDs next go around. TCs are good, but I want a bit more stability when I lean into it. I don't mind the 3/4 ton ride since I have one :)

The hybrid pan is nice, I'm running one. Just know there's a bit of modification you need to do to the pan, and likely a small amount of filing on the backside of the condenser body where the threads for the mount are.

Air can get past threads. I've had RTV sitting for months with one one on. It's the only thing I've been able to use that successfully keeps the RTV in the state where it can be re applied. I've tried plastic caps, I've tried shoving things in there, it always hardens. But yes, you need to keep...

They make little condoms you can roll on the end of the cap. Airtight so never have to worry about the RTV curing. I think they were $6 on Amazon

If that is the case, this is what you need to do : https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/mkiv-golf-fixing-hatch-boot-wiring.504001/

Correct. Pull the boots back. It's a well documented issue with the Golf. The wires tie into the Central system and can cause lots of electrical issues. Interior Lights, door locks, rear window defrost, etc

Hey OP, you have a Golf. Ever pulled the hatch boots back and checked the wiring? Notorious for cracked wires which will cause havoc in the Central system.

Engine warmed up then gotta let it settle for 5 minutes. Sometimes you can't smell fuel in the oil. Better to do the white paper towel test

It's not that hard of a repair

Eh, the search function isn't great. I have that link because it's my DIY write up :)

Yeah it was aimed at the vac pump bolts. Naff said

Glad to see there are still people out there that want to do it right and care about others on the road!

You didn't do the finishing then that I mentioned. 2 part clear coat. They will last forever. I've done plenty of restorations this way. Did you do a projector retrofit before slapping HIDs in a reflector housing? If not, tis tis. You are doing a disservice to other people on the road

My My comment was about restoring the OEM ones

OEM will always be the best option. You can wet sand them to get the yellow away. Finish with 1000 ish grit. Bring to body shop and have them shoot a 2 part clear coat next time they mix up a batch. Depending on your OCD, you may need to wet sand and polish off there's some orange peel. They...
