The idea of getting a junkyard/eBay cluster for the LED's isn't a bad idea, but my worry would be that the LED's on the donor cluster would be just as old as the ones on your current cluster. It seems like there's at least a small chance you'd just end up in this cycle all over again.

One additional resource might be "ClustersByLitke" on Facebook. They specialize in cluster upgrades and repairs, and may have some ideas regarding the best LED's to use.

Don't forget, the 6-speed 02M transmission was also paired with 4Motion if that's something you also want.

Is this the OEM FMIC? If so, I have a list of other parts you might need. Ideally, having the matching AC condenser and radiator/fans can help because they all save space by sandwiching together.

It can be three different things, or the combo of them. The pivot points in the hinge and bind up or seize. The original ones on this car had seized, and I tried some different stuff to loosen them up with little difference, so I replaced them (which is why they aren't color matched, because I...

You won't have to be annoyed by my 4Motion posts anymore because I have reached the milestone where I am considering everything complete! Though, I don't know if I will ever truly be done. Up next might be a black magic pearl paint job if I can find a good local paint and body shop in Portland...

I found them by pure chance on eBay. They are labeled "Hella Magic Colours." I don't think I've seen a set since in this color, but I did see a green-ish blue version.

When I saw this thread earlier, I noted the one on ECS was the OEM one, but I decided not to reply. Technically, there were two versions, a 1.35mm version and a 2.8mm version. I have the the thicker one so I didn't want to comment on the quality of the one ECS sells because it is the thinner one...

Yeah, I realized it was because I forgot to turn off my work VPN. But, Matt Litke helped remind me that it was a hidden menu in the ColorMFA system and I had just totally forgotten about it, which is why we couldn't find it visually.

Could something with ColorMFA help me? My car is in the hands of a pro stereo installer who helps me with complex wiring projects, so I can't look at this on my own, and I don't remember the answer off the top of my head. He can't find this in the menus either. What is the menu path to the...

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find anything via Google. And, the carpeted trim in my trunk was removed long enough ago that I totally don't remember anymore. Can you remove or re-install the chrome tie down anchors in the trunk of a Jetta sedan without having to remove the...

I don't know how being Canada affects shipping, taxes, etc. so there's that caveat with these US-based recommendations, but I second the mention of IDParts. I also highly recommend Cascade German. I've been using both of them for so long, I remember their previous URL's of tdiparts.com and...

If it's a wagon, I think it uses a dual filament bulb, so a P21/5W bulb instead of a 5007. This bulb is also known by the number 7528. If you are interested in LED's, this chart is a good reference since many LED bulbs overlap as replacements for a number of different incandescent bulbs. This...

I know I am just repeating most of these posts, but I have the early TT lower control arms and spindles on my car. The early control arms have the nub mentioned previously, it's just untapped. I thought I had taken photos, but I can't seem to find them. This unrelated link to bushings shows the...

They are a variant of this part: 1J4853803 I saw a bunch of different versions of these while researching Euro parts for my car. https://audi-klaus.at/shop/produkt/vw-golf-4-schutzfolie-special-neu-1j4853803/

I like mine a lot. I like that the knob is leather, and the whole thing has a premium feel. It was one of the VERY few non-OEM items I installed on my car. Wiring it into your cigarette lighter is easy, but you don't need to do that because it looks fine not illuminated. Here is one installed...

Maybe email them and see if they have a freight option? That estimator might only use a subset of their shipping options. I have the OEM skid plate and I like it a lot, but my TDI guru hates it when he has to remove it to do any work because it's pretty heavy since it is steel as opposed to...
