agreed on the 100 mile coverage. Tagged a bear in Ontario last fall and had to get towed 90 miles....we only had the basic coverage so weren't covered, the bill was over $400. happily geico sprung for it.

Re: 17\" ATS DTM 5x100/114 ET 40 (Fit Golf/Jetta great looking wheel, and great price...BUT I am looking for 16's. I bent a pair of 17"ers w/ low profi tires beyond repair on my last car (after only 3 months) thanks to midcoast maine's potholed roads. Cheers

5. cheaper than steel or aluminum.

Re: New 2005 Jetta TDI or wait for 2006?? Please ...05 TDI's sitting on the lot? MAYBE. I was facing a similar situation...in fact i wanted to order an '05 (in november) so I would have it by April (4 months later)... So i sat down with the local dealer and went over his allocation list (what...

...and keep in mind you might get TDI biased opinions from this sight... I got the TDI because i love diesels (land and marine), and the mileage. If i was looking for a gasser i would have gotten something with four wheel drive.

I'd buy an A4quattro Avant w/ a diesel...or a 4motion Jetta wagon TDI..if this one ever (i hope not) wears out....End of the decade sounds about right..maybe a bit longer.

..maybe mine is an exception, but my 05 wagon was built with pride in Poland. from German parts. I don't think Ford does this...so Shipping would be quite a bit more expensive than for ford.

Those Wet Okele's look sharp, but i wouldn't spend $200+ for them ...So we went to carcoversforless.com (autoparts stores in MT just don't have the selection) and got a set (for the front) we liked for under $30. To make room for the airbags we ripped out the outer seam and hemmed it over. It...

sounds good, Are the triple threads studded? Now for the true test....the mt rose highway. I've also got the michelins on..and that's right where they're staying until the tire warranty runs out. And then...some bigger rims for summer and studded snows for winter. For now, we take the truck...

my understanding is 'piston seating' refers to the ring sealing between the cylinder/cylinder liner and the piston. All new rings have a certain number of imperfections (ridges, flat spots, etc.) and it takes time for these to be worn down to a smooth surface that will bear evenly on both the...

Run both wires. I'd say bigger is better, because larger wire has less resistance...which is magnified by the length of run (trunk to engine vs 2-4') If i remember right, i've seen 2/0 tinned copper wire for 12v starters in boats (6 cylinder diesels) Cheers.

Re: Bad news, wrecked Jetta last night My parents went through a dismasting this summer and their insurance company 'totaled' the boat because repairs were going to cost at least 80% of the insured value. Then again, comparing boat and car insurance is like comparing apples and oranges...

So I've had the car (an '05 jetta wagon) for just over 6 weeks now. So far so great. well, mostly. My girlfriend took the car to work this afternoon, and when she opened up one of the rear doors, she noticed icicles on the top inside of the door, below the top seals. We opened the rest of the...

...get one of those beta test 2" lift kits...

The torx size is a T20 for the belly pan (and most other trim and mouldings i think) Cheers.

beauty..i was/am looking for the exact same thing. Maybe i'll have a little spare cash this spring. i was looking at an armrest on jcwhitney.com that's about the same price, but it slides over the console rather than bolting. i like your solution better. cheers.

Hey, I got a little further than you before i ran into the same problem. We got the after three rivnuts in, and the two front ones on the driver side. Then i had a hell of a time with the two on the pax side. Same exact problem. The darn thing wouldn't stop turning, and i was having trouble...

Can\'t Get Wife to Buy Jetta Wagon Diesel so hey, If she wants a minivan, i'd say steer her her in the toyota direction.... my old man has an all-trac previa. the thing's a tank in the snow. He's had it ten years as a daily driver. It's got almost 300,000 miles. And he just replaced the...

hah hah YES! or, as a tried and true undercoating. coat the underside of your car (over the vw coating), and drive down the dry, dusty,dirt road of your choice. Bingo. the original undercoating. Or take it to your local Checkers/Kragen/??? and they'll recycle it for free.

I was considering those as well, but had hesitations for a different reason. At least on the '05, the front tow point is in the same area as the intercooler. If you need a tow, you're supposed to remove the passenger side lower black grille and screw in an eye-bolt, which then becomes your tow...
