Seen you had a TAB and towed with a mk4. Doing same, need advice!, Wanted used ones and quickly ended up ready to buy new with the new off-grid features (tab 320 s). Recommend the TAB (I know yours was lots older but still)? Durability good? Did it tow okay? Thanks so much! -Jon P.S...

Had the panel under the steering wheel off for a while messing with wires. GF cleaning out the car tossed the bolts that I had in the cupholder for it... About to go on 4000mile trip and don't really want to loose my legs in an accident. All the plastic panels I know are pretty much the t20...

Did 100% flush/change when I did the transmission at ~160k (purchased car at 100k). First clutch master failure was after 200k. Probably twice more since when doing brake pads. Pulled the res off the brake master and cleaned back to transparent during 3rd clutch master replacement..

Just replaced it and its working great again and engages where it should. Was thinking the contaminated fluid thing before, why I emptied and cleaned the res but a tiny bit was in the brake master that came back when I refilled. The brake master cyl is original to the car 300k miles and shares...

https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/help-clutch-went-to-floor-wont-disengage.171072/page-2 Did messing with the 'bleed T' clip fully fix your clutch pedal engagement in the long term? Having similar problem with my 6sp mkiv. thread I started...

I'm at about 300k, on this 6speed and clutch since about 160k (new VW slave cly/throwout bearing when installed). Was quite a while (50k+) after I did the 6sp and new slave that I had my original clutch master finally fail - eventually wouldn't disengage the clutch. New clutch master instantly...

Not sure I will swap the panels but I'll post pictures when I cut the rear out of the parts car. I am doing that part at least and will decide once I see how easy it will be to merge them. I'm also stripping the TDI to swap the grey trim to black and carpet so I will have a good look at if I...

From the body panel pdf I see what your talking about Oilhammer. All the rear crossmember supports on the sides and the cross braces, the floor/wheel well, rear wheel arches and the panel for the rear bumper that comes up from the floor. Plus a hand full of other parts that attach to the...

Thanks for the feedback and the body panel link. I guess I'll study that and decide. I did find one guy that did the awd swap in a ghetto way on a gasser - not interested in doing it that way. Not having found anyone that did this in a clean way is really discouraging. I thought about...

I know its not easy - but I know its been done before at least once. I think the only thread I seen actually finishing it was a shop that did everything for somebody and didn't give very many details, just a bunch of pictures on a thread. I know the rear floor pan is different and needs to be...

If your serious they dont have a key its just a wireless fob. You have allot of cars.

My replacement blower was quiet from the start. I think it was generic, but dont remember the brand and cant find receipt. Old blower bushings started making lots of noise, took it out and lubed the bushings with superlube or something like that. Noise went away.. but didnt last very long and...

I would guess its the sw in the stalk because mine was acting up / not working at all sometimes. I dont think just spraying cleaner into it without taking it apart would work mine had allot of dirt and metal filings inside. I just cleaned the crap out of it put some dielectric grease in there...

Hard to start when hot issue..... Somewhat different, but also 99.5 starting problems. Could be useful. They say if you disconnect the coolant sensor it runs the glow plugs as if it were cold outside and also advances the fuel pump timing and quantity. It seemed to make it the problem go away...

"When cold starting, the engine cranks and cranks, tries to fire and then eventually fires after probably 10 seconds. Huge cloud of smoke." "...down around 30F or colder, the glow plugs stay on to warm the cylinder, and the engine fires when cranked and no smoke." How cold is it when it is...

225/60R15 on factory wheels. What seems like +400% traction over stock size, and I can fly though potholes as fast as I want. I'll post a pic when I get a chance, looks good in wheel well to me. Slight rub on plastic inner liner near full lock but it doesn't bother me enough, I'll get same...

It was a little more work not bad. Swap the shift cables - stock exhaust was nice to work with even though i am in the rust belt. Swap the axles - EZ 5 speed clutch line had to be bent slightly and had to make a little strap. 6 Speed has a different power steering hard line / bracket. I...

Happened to me on my 03 around 200k, its why I have a 6 speed now. Diff bearings give out :/ I read it happens allot more from things like wheel hop if you are rough on it and spin the wheels allot. Still haven't pulled my 5 speed apart to fix & sell. Surprised it happened with so low miles...

I was looking for lift more than anything, around the loop they are so tall you can't open the passenger door on non-lowered cars. Try telling your wife/gf she has to climb over the center console or quick get out in traffic before you pull in. Its one reason everyone has a SUV here. A few...
