Hi, I've read in another thread that VW does not chip it's cars here because of "emissions". Although in most places emissions are okay as long as they aren't too outrageous, here in British Columbia we have a pretty stringent test (I assume, all of my gas cars have been passing with flying...

Congratulations, beautiful car! Best wishes for the miles and miles and miles to follow. Signed, "Jealous".

Re: Interior \"performance\" goodies Congratulations, it sounds like a beautiful car. Regarding aftermarket leather, one company that comes highly recommended is Classic Soft Trim. You can find them at http://www.classicsofttrim.com/ They won't cost as much as recaros (around $1000) and are...

I stand ready to be corrected, but I remember watching an old documentary on the Brazilian economy a while back where they featured VW production plants. I know they build "lesser" cars like the long gone Fox and Quantum (is that the right name?), but perhaps it won't be as bad as the Mexican...

Since there's that whole "Inventory" section up on the site now, I wonder how difficult it would be to take a poll of the dealers? As stupid as they seem to be, they at least are officially related to VWoA (unlike us enthusiasts who just think we do ). Maybe sometime around January or...

There was a big discussion about the CC light over at the Vortex a while back (and a lot of serious backlash too, never imagined CC would cause so many issues--wait... I'm reminded of that "CC all the time!" thread here--nevermind ). One lucky person on the forums had the light, and it was...

Isn't the Passat already feralised? The 90hp is already allowed too (except in CA and NY for some odd reason). Just put the two together and I'll pay the same as a GLS V6 for it. Please? Seriously, who's the consumer here? I'm practically giving them free money and they won't take it. What...

I don't have an answer for you (my dealer is no help and neither is VWoA) other than "maybe", but I have to say something: Please, for the sake of my health, Never title a thread like that again! I know it was an honest mistake but next time put a question mark on it or something. I saw the...

Re: Tracking my Golf\'s progress Harry: New Beetles and Jettas are built in Mexico (Jetta is built in Germany as Bora but not sent over here) and Golf's are built in Germany. HTH

Very beautiful car. Very heartwarming story. Inspires hope in those of us for which there is barely any (waiting for a Silver/anything GLS to come on the lot). Very nice car. Good looking installation of the wheelskin too (took me like three weeks and it doesn't look half as good).

Thanks to everyone for their answers! I still would like to know how difficult it would be to replace the Golf ECU (like the actual work, how much elbow grease does it require?). I'm also posting because I am very very excited. Just had my first TDI test drive. Even with the dryy setup AND...

I guess the time is drawing near... I went to the dealership yesterday and looked at an automatic (I know I know, but I'm driving in the city a lot) Golf GLS. I'm test driving it next week, but I'm not so sure I want to give up 100 hp (gas Passat). So naturally the question is: Will the Wett...

Hey John, Like you I would trade in my Passat (a 98 V6) in a minute if any TDI showed up on our shores. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will happen in the near future. I only wrote a letter to "Volkstalk" and I got the following back: "Thank you for your reply. It has been determined...

Hello everyone, I know what my username is, but I can't wait for the Passat much longer. Reading these forums is making me go crazy. I have this 1:87 scale Golf on my computer and I stare at it constantly. My question today stems from the "warm up process" thread. Is keeping a TDI healthy...
