just looking through some how-tos about the subframe removal....it looks like every bolt that is taken out is 1 use only and needs to be replaced? also, I saw mention of installing "noise insulation" ?

Hi guys, Looking for some advise..... 2010 TDI Wagon Manual w/ 200K KM. One of my front coil springs has broken (presumably from a seized strut bearing). I am planning to replace the bearings/mounts on both sides and will prob do the spring and strut on both sides - due to there being a...

I have switched out my factory RCD-510 touchscreen unit for an aftermarket unit, and so am selling it. Unit is mint condition, was used for about 1 month. Comes with security key. $525 shipped anywhere in Canada, or $475 local pickup (edmonton, ab)

Does anyone know if there is a factory amplifier on a 2010 golf/jetta wagon with the multimedia option ( RCD-510 ), or point me to where I might find it? Thanks

Can someone please give me some clarification on the Connects 2 stuff from Europe. I find there website to be terrible, and the people that sell this stuff (all in Europe) seem to know next to nothing about it. What is the difference between the CTSVW002 and the CTSVW004 harness? IS one just...

yeah edmonton has terrible roads, I agree, but I do about 75% of my driving on the highway, so it is not a huge deal for me. My other concern was with the wheel gap. I dont plan on lowering the car at all, so I thought the 45 might fill up the fender a little more and look better, just a...

Just about to order my tires and rims for summer. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on a ride difference between 225/40/18 and 225/45/18? Will it be noticeable at all? Also The load range on the 40 series is 92 compared to 91 on the 45 series, and tirerack is prompting me that this may...

outside temp was about 5 degrees C for the first instance, and about 10 degress C for the second. The fuel gauge was between half and full on both occasions I spoke to the dealer about it, and he acted like it was no big deal and said that they would check it out at my oil change that is coming...

So this is what happened: Car was running fine, no issues to speak of. Went on road trip one day, drove the car for about 3 hours, stopped shut it off for about 1/2 hr. Got back in the car, started it, and began to drive away. Accelerated and shifted into 2nd, when I released the clutch...

This is why I chose to stay with 18x8...if you do the math I think that an 8.5 with 50 offset isnt the answer either because you then end up with not enough clearance on the inside. IMHO

I definetly do not want to go there. I want to keep everything as close to factory as possible. I have no intentions of lowering the car, I would love to but the Canadian winters just make that too hard. I just want to change the wheels. I have been looking for some time now, and have seen...

I never knew the name....but from what I can tell they definetly are biolines. I had read somewhere that the factory units are 7.5" wide, if they really are 6.5" wide, then that means that the VMR 710s that people are putting on (18 x 8.5 with 45 offset) protrude 20mm more on the inside, and...

Thanks for the info I have found a few of the calculators out there that you speak of...problem is I do not know what the offset of the factory wheels are. I have the factory 16s (only wheels offered in Canada) Anyone know?

Wondering if someone can fill me in a little to make sure that I order the proper wheels for my car.....2010 Jetta/Golf Wagon TDI. Do I need the 66.6 or 57.1 center bore? What is the best offset fit for 18 x 8.5? Looks like most companies offer 35 or 45 How much farther will the 18 x 8.5...

Another thought about the silver only comments.....don't you suppose that if this happens to the silver ones, that it is happening to the other colors as well, but it just can't be seen as easily. Based on what they look like on my car, I can think that they would be almost invisible on a white...

I am very disturbed to read this thread...... I have owned 2 non VW silver cars in the past with zero paint problems. I have had 4 VWs in the family in the past (MK3 and MK4), and had no real paint problems other than a paper thin clear coat (which does not seem to be specific to VW these...

have a few questions on wheels...I have 2010 Golf Wagon with factory 16" wheels. I am looking to put on 18" wheels for the summer. I have not lowered the car or changed any suspension at all. - Can I get away with rims that are 18x8.5" or do I have to stick with 18x8" to avoid...

is this accurate that the Highline version in Canada have a power hatch?
