The rocker panels on my '03 Jetta wagon have gotten bad enough that I want to perform a proper repair on them; cut off the old ones and weld on new. I plan to keep my car for a while still so I want to purchase new steel and not cut off from an existing, might be rusting, car. The rocker...

I am in the process of replacing the struts on my '03 Jetta TDI Wagon and was planning on reusing the stock coil springs. Upon removing them, I found one of the fronts broken and the rest are looking pretty bad, so I've decided to replace them. Looking online and reading posts here, I haven't...

While driving to the store today, I heard a large clunk, a burning rubber smell started to fill the cabin and a cachunk-cachunk noise kept getting louder and louder. I pulled over to a side street as quickly and safely as possible and found this. Luckily, I wasn't too far from home. After...

The lower portion on my '03 Jetta wagon hatch is starting to rust something fierce. It's from the pinch welds on the sides of the hatch under the window corners that have cracked and slowly let water seep in over time. At this point, if I push too hard, I believe my finger will go right...

I own a grey 2005 Passat TDI GLS with just over 68k miles. Excellent condition, perfectly maintained, oil changed every year. Leather has no wear marks, not even the driver's seat. No rust, rock chips or scratches. Honestly, it is the best condition B5.5 Passat you will find anywhere. I was...

I recently acquired a '05 Passat TDI that had been involved in a front end collision with the intent to fix it with a donor car with rear end damage. A '03 Passat W8 is available in my area and I am hesitant to purchase it not knowing if the cars are compatible. A quick look at a parts finch...

After years of battling, rust has started to take over the rear hatch on my beloved '03 Jetta Wagon. I was lucky to have the two front quarter panels and rockers replaced under the rust warranty but I'm outta luck now. It's time for replacement. I am looking for the full assembly in black...

The upper intercooler pipe on my 03 Jetta Wagon blew off the intercooler hose while accelerating onto the highway today. The power steering pump pulley wore a hole into it and I now need a new one. Looking for a new upper pipe. $130 IDparts seems a bit steep. -Nik

I am in the process of fixing up a 2005 Passat TDI with front end damage and need a new front crossmember. I am located in the Twin Cities.

My '03 Jetta wagon is due for it's 200k maintenance soon and I have been reading up on what all needs to be changed for the timing belt. The original belt was replaced at 100k so this will be the 2nd change. I know I need all the regular parts for the high mileage timing belt change but am...

How much would you guys pay for a used set of Koni FSD's for a MK4 Jetta? They are less than a year old, have ~10k miles on them, and only include the shocks and struts (ie: the bearings, mounts, and bushings are not included). I was thinking ~$400.

Coil springs for VW's (and I am sure for other manufactures) have color coded markings on them. I am trying to differentiate between the varying springs and remember seeing a graph or chart in the past showing what all the codings meant and what car they were originally installed on. Does...

The stock shocks and struts on my 2003 Jetta Wagon are finally showing their wear after 110k miles, and I'm looking to replace them with Koni Special Reds. If anyone has a slightly used set they didn't like, shoot me an email at encyclopedia16@gmail.com -Nik
