    I second your recommendation. I have used Roman for years and won't go to anyone else now. He's the only reason my car is still on the road! He saved me after a crappy mechanic did a manual trans swap with unknown parts. I then had him rebuild my suspension. 3 years later I needed a TB, new...

    Foglight wiring: OEM-style

    Hi tongsli, I bought a set of these off my mechanic and installed them recently. They use a H1 bulb. He bought them off someone on a forum, so said he doesn't know the source. Mine came fitted with 55w bulbs, what about yours? Do you know if the H1 100w bulbs which are ca. 1 cm longer would fit...

    2002 5 speed shift problem (grinding)

    I did a manual swap with an 02J out of a donor with 240k miles on it, this donor car had thrown a rod and when we opened it up it had a race clutch installed. I have no idea if that trans was original to the car or was part of the upgrades, it was a DQY btw. We filled it with Synchomesh found at...

    Trusted TDI Mechanics - By State

    Good prices on parts! I had a good parts buying experience and got good prices from Roman of Automotive Consulting by Roman, aka: GotEuroCorrado here on TDIclub. His clutch kit is a good value and feels very much like a factory DMF when it's actually stronger than the stock set-up, a SMF and...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    I have often thought that the diesel gate deception has very similar parallels to Lance Armstrong's doping scandal. It came almost out of nowhere, has been going on for years, a lie too big to let out of the bag, too many people would be let down and a brand boosted out of the product of that...

    Whose 01M auto tranny has died?

    My current TC does lock up, just not when the ATF temp gets too hot (ca. 115c and up) I saw the receipt of what my PO paid for a TC replacement. I could get the 5 speed installed for that and take a vacation! I am not able to do a 5 speed swap or a TC swap myself. I looked at the IPT TC and was...

    2005 Jetta 5 speed wagon for sale

    Did you look into getting the rust fixed on the VW 12 year rust warranty? Is the paint original? The dealer will check the pain thickness and if it's original will honor the rust repairs for free. I had my 2 front fenders replaced in 2013 on my 2002 Jetta wagon, just in time.

    Whose 01M auto tranny has died?

    I am the 3rd owner of a nice 02 Jettawagon GLS. The trans had been rebuilt (&rebuilt VB) by owner #1 @90k because it was locked up in reverse. @107k the 2nd owner had to replace the TC. I bought it with 135k 4 years ago and it was having TCC lock issues. Fluid changed 2 years ago ca. 155k and...
