    for those of you looking for glass headlight lenses for Jettas...

    Not sure what pr means. I think around late Nov. he apologized saying parts delays. From then I checked in every few weeks or so, sometimes would take a few tries to get a response. Website said if I ordered to not expect lights until Oct so going in I was ok. Ordered Aug 29, 2024. Received...

    for those of you looking for glass headlight lenses for Jettas...

    Checking in, I in fact received my E-Code headlights from VXtuning this week. Installed today, tested, everything works, they look great (brand new housings with glass lenses I sent to have installed). Need to wait until dark to aim. There was a lot of back and forth, delays etc. Best advice...

    Replacing control arms, noticed CV boot destroyed: Autozone axle way skinnier!

    Thanks again everyone including the numerous "what is the torque settings" threads. Got both lower control arms done, passenger axle, all new hardware, and bonus finally got off my butt and got that PD150 installed. Dry run last night went well, very squirrely in some corners so alignment...

    Replacing control arms, noticed CV boot destroyed: Autozone axle way skinnier!

    Thanks guys, that's what I'm gonna do. I ordered a passenger side complete kit from ID parts, will return the Autozone unit. Now if I can just figure out where the vacuum hoses go (I have the diagram, but it doesn't account for hoses that are connected to the device that's in the middle of the...

    Replacing control arms, noticed CV boot destroyed: Autozone axle way skinnier!

    Should I even bother trying to install this CV axle shaft I picked up from Autozone? The shaft is no where near the same size as the one in the car. AutohausAZ is local, should I return it and order from them or ID parts? In a pickle, daily driver down. James

    I have been more than patient enough. He occasionally responds “should go out in the next batch next week”. At what point is this not mail fraud since across state lines. James

    for those of you looking for glass headlight lenses for Jettas...

    I’m holding out hope. I ordered Aug 29, website was clear that parts wouldn’t be in until Oct. No prob. Checked back in, Mike responded apologized for delay, should be ready end of Nov. All good, I’ve worked construction, I get product delays. Last few emails (mid December now) gone unanswered...

    Upgrading exhaust, nut seized on turbo nut

    Wow thanks! My old tired self couldn’t at first remember what they would be called. Reckon the procedure to put new ones on is to put 2 nuts in, tightened to each other to torque the stud onto the turbo? James

    Upgrading exhaust, nut seized on turbo nut

    Well, monkey boy here thought I could use some needle nose vice grips to hold it and try to walk the nut off, even tried using my dewalt impact to slowly whack it. Threads got boogered up so I don’t think so! Lol James

    Upgrading exhaust, nut seized on turbo nut

    Did some sleuthing and I’m not the first but am lucky it didn’t snap off on the turbo housing. Some reading someone said just put a bolt in. M8 Stainless? What length do you think? James

    Upgrading exhaust, nut seized on turbo nut

    Howdy! Apologies for not being around much. Life routine. Finally pulled the trigger on a turbo back 2.5” exhaust. VNT-17 since I bought it a few years back. Got the easy to access nuts loosened, going for the invisible one it gave me a little trouble and finally broke loose. Welp, it sure did...

    Arizona Emissions Question

    Weird. My first year with my wagon they also did the visual, opened hood, crawled under car with a mirror checking for the Cat. Next time at a different location no raising hood, no crawling under car, just OBD-2 check like mentioned before. Speaking of AZ emissions, what’s with the wmissions...

    After local shop did timing belt, can't get into ECU to retune

    I did try that, after the Flashzilla updated for half an hour (LOL) I pushed my saved tune back to it, connected to car and still get error message. Did it again last night and took pics, it says "Error, Writing not allowed. Notify your dealer the following data: Error code: F002". James
