    oil leak at turbo... again falling victim to BEW oil problems

    Again, I've run into an issue with my '06 VW Golf TDI (bew 5spd manual). Hadn't driven it too much for the past few days and decided to give it a good run with some friends. We were cruising and enjoying our Victoria Day weekend when I smelled a faint burning, didn't think much of it and...

    cluster and center console light

    hmm yeah definitely an annoying issue, if your bulbs and fuses are all fine i think the only thing to check next might be connections? im not sure if there are two different power connections for the gauge cluster, are the speedo and tach operating as expected? for climate controls, there is one...

    Rear fog lamp install and wiring for non Euro MK4s

    UPDATE: Rear fog lamp is operational! I did a really terrible job wiring things but I do not plan to leave it that way, just wanted to guarantee it could be done. Already have some connectors I can install to clean contact points up and for now I just won't use it unless necessary. Looks...

    Rear fog lamp install and wiring for non Euro MK4s

    Thinking I might just try this ECS method, not sure how I missed it earlier but will give it a try. Exactly what I was looking for. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bn2_3FRPfDsNNZ8sXK2qTMk4nCu-7MHw/view

    Rear fog lamp install and wiring for non Euro MK4s

    I have a non-LED bulb in currently from Canadian Tire, of course it's not going to do anything as it is not connected yet. Will I blow anything up using this connected directly to the switch? Too much wattage? If so, what LED bulb should I install? Few more questions: What gauge of wire to run...

    Rear fog lamp install and wiring for non Euro MK4s

    Thank you all for the insightful responses, from what I read the easiest path looks like just running a wire directly from headlamp switch to rear fog bulb? Not sure about getting that rear fog indication light on, I'm very new to wiring with really no experience. I'm sure I could manage running...

    Rear fog lamp install and wiring for non Euro MK4s

    Hello fellow Golf 4 owners, I am not sure if this has been posted/asked about before but I have decided to create a thread for rear fog light wiring for non Euro MK4s. I personally own a Canadian spec MK4, 2006, with the euro headlamp switch. My main goal with buying one and installing it was...

    WTB: B4 Front Right Side Marker

    I did a quick search online, this is the main side-marker I found. Pricey and out of stock but it appears to be a legit Hella product. Also found the lower bumper light on eBay, not 100% sure how it would be in quality but may be worth a look. I would recommend scanning craigslist/martketplace...

    Help! Part of brake system fell off of car and now my parking brake won't hold.

    So, I was driving around with some friends recently when we hit a pothole that gave me worrying results. This is with my 2006 VW Golf TDI. Something fell out of the car, landing in the street where it was then hit by a few cars. As soon as the part fell off of the car, I pulled off to the side...

    MK4 Front License Plate Options

    Probably not too many people still active with this thread, but for anyone reading this now this is what I did. I drilled two holes into the bumper trim/guard bit on the left side, used my stock license plate screws to hold the plate on. I had some old screw clip things lying around from a...

    Is the bew a good engine?

    505.01 spec is 5W-30? Yeah cam I'll be watching, may replace in the future as this engine has racked up ~320 000km in mileage, so definitely something to think about. The engine came from a 2006 donor Golf, was that a generally better year for PD development? I know they had a rough start with...
