Sorry I havent been back here sooner. I'm still looking for a headliner, but the Jetta won't work. Thanks though. Let me know if you come across a Golf. -Tex

Well, the problem here is there are too many shops that screw you on stuff like this. When was the last time you had an alignment at an unfamiliar shop that they didn't try to sell you on $400 worth of balljoints / tie-rods when they're not really needed? I just had this happen to me. So the...

Looking for a nice 2000 Golf Headliner, 2 door hatch, no sunroof. Would take gray or black, but no tan. PM me if you've got one, and we'll talk... Thanks! ~Tex

How about the clutch pedal with the pigtail / switches and mounting cage? Whaddaya need for it? ~Tex

I'm having the same issue with my '00 Golf. I bought some headliner spray adhesive, but haven't really gotten into it yet to see if it'll work. My question is, do I have to pull the pillar covers off to get the headliner out? The rest just looks like taking all the little dome lights and visors...

I had Marin check out a MAF sensor CEL I was having. It was diagnosed by another shop as a bad ECU sending improper voltage to the MAF. He double checked the other shop's diagnostics, and turned out to be just a bad MAF sensor. I had a good experience with him, and if I need more assistance...

That's kind of what I was thinking, but you just never know. Who knows what engineers do behind closed doors, right? I appreciate the help, Man. ~Tex

Originally posted this in the MK4 forum, but no takers. So, I thought I might get a better response here. I'm considering swapping out my auto for a 5 speed in my 2000 Golf TDI. Sadly, the first part is trying to find all the little parts to pull it off, and of course 5-speed TDI's are...

I'm considering swapping out my auto for a 5 speed in my 2000 Golf TDI. Sadly, the first part is trying to find all the little parts to pull it off, and of course 5-speed TDI's are scavenged pretty quickly when they're parted out. So, I'm considering an alternative.. there's a wrecked '03 Golf...

So, I just got my 2000 Golf, and the motor cover was sitting inside the car without the bolts to mount it with. Anyone know the size bolts I need, so I can just run to my local hardware store? Or are they some weird collared bolt? Thanks in advance Guys! ~Tex

Yeah, I worked it out with the salvage yard to take it back. Not typically their policy, but since I asked for a 2000 window, and their computer was wrong in saying the '07 would fit, it's their fault and they'll take the return.

Thanks Jason. That helps alot. ~Tex

I just took possession of a 2000 Golf TDI 2dr Hatchback, and before I even got it all the way home someone was kind enough to bust out the driver's door window and steal the stereo. Nice, huh? (even worse, the radio didn't even work!) So, I was combing the salvage yards, and found an '07...

Man, TSAGoth... that's an ugly bill. That's larger than my budget for a whole car right now! LOL

That's a very interesting theory you have there, but I have to disagree with you. Your theory is correct if you are applying that theory to "Is this car worth $x,xxx?". Any purchase is worth the price you are willing to pay for it. If you find one cheaper later, it doesn't matter, as you...

That forum link just let to the list of trusted mechanics. LOL. What kind of budget would I be looking at for an auto-to-manual tranny swap (roughly)? Someone has an '03 for sale with a dead auto-trans for pretty cheap. ~Tex

I'm currently in the process of tracking down a Jetta TDI, and obviously I would prefer a 5-speed (not just with TDIs, but any car I expect to drive for a few hundred thousand miles). But, good deals are pretty hard to come by on them. So, my question is this.. I know that the forum consensus...
