Yeah, none of it really looks particularly difficult. I guess I just need to decide if I want to spend the 3-6hrs doing it or just cough up the money. I think I borrowed a basic strut/spring compressor from part source when I last needed one.

So, after fixing my rear-end springs, I'm left chasing front-end rattles/knocks. Looks like I have a cracked driver's spring (very top, hard to see) and play in the sway bar endlink. Local indy shop is recommending I replace both front springs, both strut mounts, both endlinks and do an...

An easy swap, 10/10 would do it again. Of course, now that the rear is quiet I need to chase the front-end knocks and rattles...

I recall breaking springs on my mkiv as well... just a cost of driving in Ontario I guess. At least they aren't VAG airsprings. Anyone know how many hours of shop time is typical to bill for replacing both rear springs? I'm coaching my kids sports most evenings these days so, while capable, I...

Many thanks for the insight and the offer @Petra's cousin but I'm a long way east of you ;) Getting a bit of a run-around from the local dealers claiming very low inventory, supply chain issues, etc on the parts. To keep the stock ride hight, it looks like I'm searching for 1 white, two...

I have a 2014 sportwagen with one broken rear coil spring. Live in the rust-belt but between a new job and COVID, the car only has 95K km. In the past, I've replace springs in pairs on higher milage cars. Any opinions on whether I should replace both or can I get away with just the single side?

busted rear coil spring

When I called today, I fully expected them to tell me the parts are in and that I could drop off the car this week or next, not some BS about non-existent engine codes. I agree VW is cutting it close at this point. I'm going to go in and chat with the dealer tomorrow morning about what exact...

Thanks. Will call Owasco, Lauria, and Orillia tomorrow to see if they can get it done.

Did anyone here go for the 2.0L engine fix instead of the buyout? If so, how long does it take? Are there any recommended dealers? Are they obligated to provide a rental? Getting it done locally is proving difficult. There was some miscommunication from Rice Point in the summer and then with...

I know how you feel. We've had at least one diesel going back 25 years.

Perfect. Thanks!

Does anyone know what happened to the online tool for estimating the buy-back value of a TDI? I know there was a site where you could enter your VIN and mileage and it would return an amount but I cannot find it. We're still on the fence with our TDI. It isn't driven much these days (15 km/day)...

LMAO. I'll believe it when I read the MTO press release ;)

Yeah, I called about 6 before giving up. I think we may end up with a civic or a fit. My wife drives 12km/day at the moment and we'd rather not have another car payment.

I've spoken to a dealer but I am waiting to hear back on availability. I know there are a few sales guys that lurk in the forums ;) Does anyone here know anything? We're thinking of trading our 2014 in and looking at the options. We'd prefer a golf or a wagon, 6spd manual, comfortline...

Or, you you could say it is worth $2K less than my 2014 comfortline sportwagon with 65K kms :P
