Shine Rear Sway Bar for VW. No mounting hardware, and never mounted. Supposed to fit the following vehicles: Jetta 1997-2005 (yes, A3 through A4) Jetta Wagon 2002-2006 Passat 1996-1997 (B4) Golf 1999-2006 New Beetle 1998-2006 No mounting hardware. And the mounting hardware is just bolts and...

Nice!

Drove it yesterday! Recently had the front end taken care of...I had a 2003 Jetta wagon that was totaled, and I picked up a 2002 Jetta to "replace it"...with parts I had for the wagon. New A-arms, Koni FSD front struts, tie rod ends, ball joints...an alignment, and new Bridgestone Ecopia...

You'll be trying to push more air around the wider tires, and you'll increase the amount of air that has to move under the car. I've tried that on other vehicles before, and I lost mileage.

Yeah, I think until someone makes a purpose built LED light and reflector, that will be the case. I know in the KLR650, it still is better than the OEM set up.

Here are some LED bulb's. I think the back story is the guy works for a company that builds bulbs for the aircraft industry and is also a motorcycle rider. http://www.razorsedgesoft.com/klr/LED_headlight.htm

Have you read all 50+ pages of this thread? Evans has been a regular discussion because of the risk reduction that the coolant provides. Yup, many use G12 based coolants, but that is developed for use under the original VW engineering. The 205*F Hybrid themostat is not part of the original VW...

NPG is thicker stuff. Yeah, it's different than an EG/water mix. For road racing motorcycles, we used stock cooling systems. Yes, EG was banned because it makes a mess on track. Often, the thermostat body was removed, but the housing was retained as a restrictor for straight water...

This happens in engines today with increased boiling points of pressurized and additive based coolants. And that was the basis of how PG based coolants came about: to continue producing cooling in hot spots.

That's interesting. I have more miles than that individually on two ALH's with no issues. I've also used Evans and a hotter thermostat on two 7.3PSD's with no issues. I'd think you have another issue that caused the cracks or is was a bad head in the first place. .

I was gonna ask you about that... :) I've got NPG+, which has the new name now, in all of my vehicles: a motorcycle, a gas car, two TDI's. Haven't gotten it into my Ford 6.0PSD van yet as I haven't had the time and I need to install my coolant filter. Works fine in street applications...

Left side/driver's side mirror assembly intact? Manual control or electric?

Radio stopped working in the Mk4 the other day. Chased through some threads here. Most of the talk was about the #42 fuse...remove it for a bit, then put it back in, and..magic! There was one short discussion of a voltage issue. So, pulled the fuse, cleaned it off. Pulled the Scanguage II...

I've done the taller & narrower tire swap twice. When doing it, the first thing to recognize is that tire sizing is a range. Each manufacturer will have different heights, and, therefore, actual circumferences, for their tires. They aren't always the same, and they aren't even necessarily the...

My 2003 Jetta was destroyed in an accident in January. Picked up a 2002 Jetta in February. Was able to develop some data with it. Did decide that the thermostat that was in it was in terrible shape (really didn't get up to anything more than 180*F on the Scanguage). Before a long trip, I got...

Finally put the mud flaps on the "new to me" A4 Jetta I got in January from ID Parts. Rotated tires, oil change.

Put on a Curt trailer hitch yesterday. While I was in the trunk, I realized that my new to me Jetta had a nice full size spare. My RH rear tire has a slow leak, so I swapped the spare to that position. Ordered some parts from IDParts. Time for rear brakes.

Did my first oil and filter change on my new to me 2002 Jetta. 335k. Seems to be running very well. Can't complain.
