    Cruise control retrofit kit

    Wait....you're from Latvia and you're asking people in the US for a cruise stalk? That seems to be opposite of how it's all been working before. Is this for the 2002 Passat? Steve

    2015 Golf Sportwagen, 113k, 6m, in Iowa SOLD

    Thank you, but I'm not in the market for one, the seats are not comfortable for me, they're not deep enough nor do they have sufficient rise at the front edge to provide knee support. Steve

    2015 Golf Sportwagen, 113k, 6m, in Iowa SOLD

    Possibly But I live in Des Moines and there aren't many of those in that color running around with TDI power. Steve

    Front door latch mechanisms

    That adjustment has a very limited amount of movement. The nylon coving needs to be adjusted to get the handle finger close to the latch. I posted this up several years ago, it shows the pin that has to be knocked out so you can move the nylon cover. Only other recommendation is to lubricate...

    The "What did you do to your B4 today" thread...

    There's no avoiding it, if you don't want to spend $1000+ on a new or remanufactured pump you reseal the one you have, and yes VW doesn't discuss any of this but then again their techs don't do it either, they farm it out to the Bosch injection specialists and then just install the new unit and...

    The "What did you do to your B4 today" thread...

    Ditto I've had to hammer mod several IP's in order to get them into the range where the engine will run, then I address the IQ via VCDS. Steve

    I think the wagon is at 4 but I haven't looked for quite a while. Not sure where the 97 Jetta is ATM. Steve

    B4 turbo options

    That's the same manifold as the BHW except that BHW has a probe port already drilled and tapped, no need to go to Europe for that. Steve

    TB question

    Arguably, when you pull the IP pin prior to tensioning the belt, and the crank is the only item that remains completely fixed (aside from camshaft, not the cam sprocket), then when you tension the belt it's going to move the IP sprocket slightly, and most likely that's going to cause pin fitment...

    TB question

    Still worth verifying / adjusting with VCDS. Steve

    Were there two types of front turn signal housings for the B4?

    All cars get the same outboard lamp, the park turn light. The inboard 'lamp' is either a dummy, like that on the TDI and GLS (without fogs) or in the case of the GLX (or GLS with fog option) a real foglight. The in between filler is a reflector only. On non-foglight cars the inboard is just a...

    Is the GLX front suspension upgrade worthwhile?

    Honda and BMW are the only reliable swap fitment to VW since they shared hub bore on their 4x100, but otherwise you have to check before you buy. And with BMW the offset is typically a bit off. Cobalt is listed as having a 56.6 center bore, so I can understand why they needed to be milled in...

    Is the GLX front suspension upgrade worthwhile?

    Concur, the 'differences' in the engine carrier (front and rear) are so minimal that swapping them over just because isn't worth it unless you have them already. Also fairly confident that you only need the outboard CV joints and not the complete axles, but that's just speculation. LCA, spindle...

    Which is the Fuel Filter without the "T" recirculation?

    Yes, I was going to post the same but for some reason didn't. I'm not sure why that filter has changed spec but apparently BA is now packaging the version with the thermo T instead. From that list I originally posted there aren't too many left (if any) that are available, however, the slightly...

    02S 6 speed conversion into 02J case

    Are the cable retaining clips readily available for this box? I'd buy one if you sold them, then again IDK about how bad the tariffs would be...lol. Steve

    1Z Moddability

    I could see $2500 if its a southern car but I wouldn't want any CEL to correct for that price either unless it's an easy fix. They're pretty easy to work on, the engine compartment is open and everything is accessible, the turbo and exhaust manifold are the worst of it in terms of space and...
