    Rear seat belt compatibility

    My dog chewed the webbing of one of the rear seat belts in our 2016 Sportwagen. Does anybody know if they're interchangeable with regular Golf rear belts?

    Dog chewed seatbelt - Mk7 Sportwagon

    As per title, I'm now searching for a right rear seatbelt for my 2016 sportwagon. Any suggestions on where to source? Happy with used assuming it was not in use during an accident. In K-W and GTA for a couple of days then back to Ottawa.

    I haven't. When I need something next I'll shoot him an email. I'm sure he still has the same supply chain.

    The End of an Era

    Haven't checked TDIClub much since moving to Ottawa and this is very sad news to come back to. I hope you're doing alright Fred and keeping family and friends around you. Take care.

    Where to buy Diesel in Ottawa/Hull?

    Just moved to Otawa from TO and thought I'd bring this thread back from the dead to see if there are any updates? It is crazy how rare diesel seems to be here vs Toronto or the East Coast. Any stations downtown or in the Carling/Merrivale area? I've been checking out Ottawagasprices but don't...

    Coolant leak - TDI/VW shop required? (and hitch install)

    Thanks for all the tips guys. It was those two lines. Got it done at a local shop for convenience/time. Cost a bit but I just needed it done. Now to figure out the hitch and source a harness. This is the worst time to try to move on short notice.

    Coolant leak - TDI/VW shop required? (and hitch install)

    This is the tricky part. We had a big snow storm yesterday so the engine bay is wet everywhere.

    Coolant leak - TDI/VW shop required? (and hitch install)

    Perjad is great, but I'm way in the east end. I don't have a day off, and don't want to take a cab home and back the next day if I drop off so really trying to get it done locally.

    Coolant leak - TDI/VW shop required? (and hitch install)

    Hey guys, I'm moving to Ottawa and on the way there yesterday to check out an apartment I started having a coolant leak. Fortunately the light came on just as I was passing Don Valley VW. Picked up some G12 and a jug of distilled water (can't remember if you're supposed to use distilled or...

    need cert

    Taxi garages are open 24 hours. Never waited more than 15 minutes. There is one on Pape Ave just north of Danforth, but I'm sure they're all over the GTA.

    UPI Dieselex Gold Biodiesel first impressions

    I'm more interested in how to get the 12 cent discount at Petrocan than the biodiesel!

    your 2 cents new Dodge pick up

    No, litres are metric. The US gallon is smaller than a gallon in the rest of the world (aside from some of South America).

    Coolant Heater

    Windex, did you have the heater already or did you just buy it? Did you get it at CT?

    Winter front helpful/necessary? (for MKIV)

    I don't think they're really necessary until it get's really cold (like -20 cold). Last Christmas on my way back from the East coast it was crazy cold, -32 or -33 at one point in Quebec and the car would not heat up. There was a crash on the highway at sitting still at idle the temp plummeted...

    Winter tire countdown

    I usually wait until a week of sub 10 degree weather but I'll roll with it this year. 6 degrees when I left this morning, 17 on my way back.

    Winter tire countdown

    Yeah, I said it. Winter! Took the car in and had new struts and springs installed. Had picked up new winter tires the night before and they were still in the car. Shop assumed I wanted them installed. I don't really mind, even though it is (hopefully) at least a month early. I won't be driving...
