Anyone have a pic? It doesn't come with instructions and I wanted to see where the best placement was.Also going to install the EGR cooler hose while I am at it..

Seen the TDI Yes it's a diesel frame on the back. I was parked next to you with the Grand Cherokee that had all the NY Giants stuff plastered on it and Big-Nsty license.Didn't know other members were so close to me..Today we decided to let the yellow Beetle home or we'd have parked that next to...

What a great product...Installed it the other day and the skid plate is a brute. Very easy directions and the Rivet tool worked like a charm..Gonna buy a race pipe from them next... Looks good on our Beetle!

Thank You for this thread.I had a great experience! With Dennis Marquette (Marquette Automotive Sunbury Pa). Our Beetle never ran so well and he was extremely quick with the job.Took it on a Monday and he called Tuesday saying it was done.He replaced the timing belt and all pertinent pieces. I...

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Our roads are rural type roads and we have I-80 that we drive allot. I almost ran over a deer carcass on 80 once and that was enough. My wife will be the primary driver of the car so I just want to cover my butt if the unfortunate happens. Can't wait to get...

Just received my Panzer plate and side shields this week. Can't wait to get it installed...Looks like a nice substantial unit. It's going to give me a good peace of mind..

AndyBees, I have the boxes checked.Not sure as to why I can't get pm's..I don't get email notifications either..

Sent Dennis an email about my car,he emailed back and it looks like we will be meeting each other soon.He gave me a quote on labor which was way more than fair in my opinion. Thanks guys for the help...Now our Beetle will be a happy camper this spring..

Metalman is 45 minutes away from me. I really haven't set it in stone as to who I buy from. If Metalman can work on my car I will most likely take it to him and order his parts while I am at it..I really appreciate the helpful suggestions..

Yes sir..... I did use the search but it seems like almost all threads go off on a tangent and 1/2 say 1 thing and 1/2 say the other..I was really leaning to the steel one but was hoping to get better feedback than I have found so far..I just want the best pieces for the car so we can totally...

Been trying to read alot of posts and decide on the timing components I will be buying for my 99 Beetle. I am leaning hard toward Bora Parts pieces. I am going the extra deal and buying the HD timing belt,but which waterpump will be the best? Plastic impellar or steel? The plastic has a better...

One more thing I forgot to ask. It seems like the glow plugs aren't really working on the car. I turn the key on,the glow plug light goes off in about 5 seconds but sometimes it cranks for a long feeling time till it starts.About 8-10 seconds maybe a little longer. Is there a way to check the...

Thanks guys,it helped alot. We are about to park the Beetle for the winter months and I planned to get the parts and have it done. I just wanted to get a few more trips while the weather was still nice and enjoy it till March/April. I have a few other things that I am doing to it as well over...

I was probing on my 99 Beetle and read on a thread that you should inspect the timing belt for fraying,cracking,etc. I unsnapped the cover off and took a look at things. I looked at the belt and it "appears" to be new looking. I have had other timing belt cars and have some experience as to what...

Well, we went out and retrieved the yellow bug this am. Took it for a test drive and it ran really good. I see what others say about being somewhat sluggish on take of(not even close to the power of my Hemi Grand Cherokee)I started nice,drove well and got around town pretty well. We brought it...

Tomorrow I am buying our first VW ever and I have been reading alot of the threads and gaining info for these cars. The car is a yellow 99 Beetle and has 86,000 miles. My wife has always wanted a bug and I started looking for a Diesel car. I plan to purchase a timing belt kit as well and have it...
