Thanks guys, I think for now I'm going to just stick with the Stage 1 tune, keep everything else stock.

You've gotta love media reporting: "pumped pollutants into the air", "part of a scheme to cheat". They make it sound as though they all had a black cloud of pure evil pouring out of every exhaust pipe.

Hi guys, Quick question for everybody. I have had my 2003 TDI since about 2009, love it, just starting to get into modding it for some extra fun! I'm more in the camp of "upgrade things when they need fixing" instead of spending the money just because, so I am upgrading mildly and slowly. It...

LOL! Thanks to all, the input has been great. Windex and everybody else, I appreciate the confidence vote that it wasn't all my fault. I was mildly stressed (to under exaggerate HUGE). Don't worry Pete, I am definitely not going to leave it like that, and there will be full disclosure. I...

Hey guys, thanks for the input. As promised, here are a couple pictures. Hopefully they'll help give a better idea of where the hole is and what size. This pic shows the pinch weld, and why I didn't want to use it. So the hole is in the big bump down seen in picture, it seemed solid and I...

Thanks guys! I love this forum! I wanted to post a pic but forgot to grab one this aft. I'm gonna go back over tomorrow, I'm sure that will help. My bad!

Hi guys, I've been searching all over the internet, this forum and vortex but haven't found a ton of info. So I'm really hoping you guys can chime in! I was an idiot today. Jacking up a friends Golf (MKIII) and I totally put the jack in the wrong spot.... wasn't sure where it should go, the...

I totally missed it! Apparently when you're driving in the car, you don't notice extra ground movement.... LOL

Thanks for the tip! I've officially made the jump over to Shell.... I think I've found my new permanent station! Reasonably priced diesel (on par with other stations), pay at the pump, and they still have the little catch that holds the pump handle in the on position! Sunoco REALLY needs to...

HAHA - this is why I love this place! You guys are on the ball, thanks for all the answers!! How different is Sunoco regular from the Gold stuff? The Pioneer price is sure enticing... No Shell in Alliston. There is a Shell in Cookstown that sells diesel, but I have no idea if it's V-Power...

Ok, I have searched the forum for a while, and can't really find a lot of info on Pioneer diesel. I found a 4 year old thread, but wonder if stuff has since changed. My question is pretty specific. I live and fuel up in Alliston, and have been using the Sunoco here exclusively (Sunoco Gold)...

Yeah..... my invoice (from previous owner) for the 160,000 km looks like that price wise..... but doesn't have NEARLY as many parts listed! No rollers, washers, bolts, nuts, screws....... I wonder how THAT works!

Tsagoth, thanks for the tip! I visited my friendly neighbourhood dealership today, and after a brief argument that I already knew the problem was just the switch, in went the car and out it came with a working seat heater! I never in a million years thought I would get FREE service from the...

It was done at Bramgate VW, previous owner lived in Toronto area. The water pump and tensioner were changed according to the bill...... but I'm doing what Mark has suggested, just changing everything now. I don't want to play with potential timing belt failure. It will only cost me a couple...

CRAP! I just ordered a new switch as mine has given up. I wonder if it's too late to cancel and visit the dealer........

Ok, I know there a probably a million posts on here like this, but I just have to rant a bit. Take this as a warning, anyone who still swears by them! I do NOT use the dealers for service, but the person who I purchased my car from had it serviced at the dealer for everything, from day 1 until...

So from talking to one of the guys at the Sunoco in Alliston (NOT the owners, a younger guy I know) it seems that our Sunoco is one of the stations that has been purchased by Husky. He wasn't supposed to say anything, but I was complaining about the lack of price on the sign and the...

Same thing has happened in Alliston, driving me nuts!! They are 5 cents more all of a sudden than ALL the other places with diesel; both Pioneer and Esso. When I complained that they stopped posting their price, the only line I could get out of them was "head office". Pisses me off though...

Holy crap!!!! And here I was on edge last week driving 70 kms on the fuel light. I was terrified I was going to run out of fuel! I hit 1080 total km on the tank though, my first over 1000(!!!!) (got the car just before Christmas).

HOT DAMN!!!! That is one SEXXXY car! P.S. Your pictures are awesome, are you by any chance a phoptography student?
