2003 Jetta ALH I think the last shop forgot the gasket maybe or just torqued it too tight but I for the life of me cannot get the cap off to replace the oil filter. Any suggestions? I tried strap wrench, the metal socket that fits the cap (but ended up striping the socket), and an large...

Perfect Thanks guys.

id take it to somebody and have them be honest with you about what youll need done in the next 6mo, 1yr, 3yr. but in my mind thats a good deal. mine has about that much on it now and Im replacing all kinds of little things like injectors, headlights, bearings, control arm bushings, suspension...

Located my noise in the rear drivers side wheel. Sounds almost identical to the noise in 2012 in my passenger rear. I know I replaced the passenger rear wheel bearings in 2012 but im not sure if that job gets done in pairs? ie could rear wheel bearings go bad in 40,000 miles? Is it a good idea...

Similar story.... Before - avg 42 After - first fuel up today actually and just brushed over on 50mpg. I added a diesel geek skid pan (no pan before), sprint 520 injectors, and a Kerma tune at same time as swap.

Was thinking the same thing. Ive been looking for a good yard in northern colorado.

Been using all seasons because I dont have 2 sets of wheels... :( maybe in the future.
