I've got almost 280,000 miles on my '06. I'm the original owner and she still runs strong! She'll see at least 500k before I retire her, quite possibly 1M.

I had this same problem a couple of years after doing a timing belt change - the bolts that attached the motor mount to the motor mount bracket snapped. One was stripped and the other has half a bolt still in it. So I purchased a new motor mount bracket, but could somebody please tell me exactly...

I'm looking for the motor mount assembly for the passenger side. Does anyone have one they're parting out, or a suggestion on where to look online?

I got a CEL light and P2237 code (Oxygen Sensor Pumping Current Circuit Open Bank 1 / Sensor 1) but can't find anything about how to troubleshoot or fix it. Can anyone provide any insight? The O2 Sensor is a bit expensive, so I don't want to just guess and replace it without doing some...

Awesome, thank you!

Is there anyone local who has the Counterhold Tool (T10051) and Puller (T10052) needed to replace a worn Camshaft? Is there some place I can rent them from? Is there an alternative method if I can't locate these tools? I'm located near Tacoma, WA. Thanks in advance.

This thread was immensely helpful when gathering tools to do a brake job. FYI, O'Reilly's Auto Parts rents the universal caliper compression tool pictured above for a $60 deposit (refundable). It worked great on the front, we'll see how it does on the rear when I do them later today. One...

This is great, I'm glad to see an active Seattle area thread!! I've been a member since before I purchased my TDI back in '06, but I haven't really been in the forums or in contact with any other owners in the past few years. Is there anyone out there with a VAG-COM (or as a last resort, a...

How about you stop being rude? I've spent a couple hours searching the site and was still unsure. Perhaps you can find the answer in 10 seconds because you know what to look for. I, unfortunately, do not, and want to ensure I buy the right parts so I don't screw up the job. If your...

If someone would post a helpful response, that would be great.

Could someone tell me the exact parts I would need, and the best place to get them, for a complete GLI brake upgrade? Anything special I would need to know about doing the swap? Thanks in advance!!

I'm currently on a working vacation in the Maryland/Virginia area and am in need of a DSG Transmission service and oil change, but prefer not to go through high cost dealerships or repair shops because I'm on a pretty tight budget. I already have the filter and fluids, is there somebody local...

Thanks again Cory, I really appreciate your help (and thanks to those who offered as well). I'm working on taking care of everything on that list, but if there is someone who could help me adjust the Turbo VNT actuator that would help out big time too.

PM Sent, thanks...

I need to pull some codes from my 2006 Jetta TDI - I'm getting an "emissions workshop" message and CEL intermittently while going into limp mode (turbo shuts down). Happens especially in higher altitudes. Is there anyone remotely near Spanaway, WA that can help me diagnose the problem?

My 06.5 has the same intermittent crackling problem in the drivers side rear door. Giving it a good smack seems to temporarily fix it leading me to believe it's a poor connection somewhere.

I was hoping for more response.. :-/ From what I' ve gathered it looks like the best way to add another amp is to get an adapter for the head unit that provides two sets of rca outputs but I have yet to locate this part. Does anyone know where to get one? I've tried both oemplus and...

I'm building a sub box for my 2006 Jetta (pkg2 w/dvd nav) and would like to get some advise on wiring from those who've done it before. My amp is pretty high power so I'm planning to run 8 ga wiring direct to the battery. It has built-in high and low pass filters and RCA inputs. Does the head...

My experience with Optimas has not been so positive. I've never run one in my TDI, but I have a 1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS that would sit for periods of up to about a month, so I thought the Optima would be a good fit. I had also heard many great success stories, so I spent about $120 on a brand new...

I've seen this debate start on Facebook and now here. I'm not sure if the real questions have been answered yet. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure you will! :D). As far as I know, it has always been the case that the server owner who makes his/her services available to...
