I also like bmwm5's ramps. I read the reviews for those rhino ramps and there are just waaaaay too many failures of those things. And there is at least one post on this thread for them too. Nah man, I'm going to home depot and getting me some wood. Thanks all!

That's the thing, lol. Thanks Andy!

Shouldn't be a problem There is at least one other thread on this (probably dozens), but a very reputable member Oilhammer chimed in on and said that is isn't a problem, it's just a dummy switch so you don't accidentally start it in gear. He went on to say that it's actually better to start...

Hello friends :) Anyone want to let me borrow their factory locking lug key for a day or two? A shop in Wichita accidentally pocketed mine and I want my new tires installed asap. Will let you hold my cell or cc as collateral.

I am so there.

Another successful pump change thanks to you guys for the advice and help and TDIWagonGuy for the cheapest pumps available ($300 from local parts stores!). Mine died after I changed the fuel filter, I saw one other post with a similar story, so I thought i'd add my experience. Buttoned...

curios OP, did a new starter resolve the issue?

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. You guys are so freaking awesome. I was so paranoid about the new parts and doing my cables for the first time but this made it so painless. I am definitely ordering the license plate frame and tdi stickers to support the club a little and when...

Thanks for the reply Power Hound. I bought all the crap that 1stvwparts sold me. I am really glad they called me to let me know about the new accessory parts but they sold me a clip that holds the metal tubes to the frame, obviously not needed. All in all, I only spent just over a hundred with...

op, did you do the procedure yet? Just bought my stuff a week or so ago and may be attempting it tomorrow.

Replace them vacuum hoses yet?

lol, ya, this thread migrated a little bit, think I may have slightly hijacked. I bought the Metalnerd wrench for the A4 from idparts and it fits...but a little too loose for my taste. Only $6 more and it supports the club. Just looked it up and because it is 74 through 76mm, it fits more...

Same same. Asked my guru on pre-purchase inspection and he said they can go 300k easy if you aren't riding it all the time. Mine was a company vehicle and I was concerned, but soon allayed.

Thanks for the report back! I think i'm gonna try that grease next time!

Thanks for the insight. I read an article/research done by Blackstone Labs on magnetic drain plugs. Findings show they work, but just slightly better than not having one. Look for that Blackstone article Hell ya, good to know it's been going without needing to pull it. Have you ever done a...

Glad this came up, I have been looking to do some maint work and I like to follow mfg recommendation on replacing the bolts when specified (except the battery tray hold down bolt, that is just ludicrous). I went as far as to read the proceedures in the Bentley, but I didn't find part numbers for...

just waitin til i get off work so I can get some pretzels. And yes :)

I've been kind of curious about this too. I'm totally going to use the pela pump for the most part, but is it a good idea to do an old fashion drain plug drop very xth oil change?

Awesome o-possume, Wingnut wins again. Will have to try this soon!
