    Evolution Skid Plates- Proven Reliability Since 2002

    Neil, Thanks, I am very satisfied with the product, and even more now knowing that the oil pan et al is completely protected. I will likely modify the lip that was removed and re-attach so that it overlaps the front edge of the skid plate. I haven't counted, but there were at least 8-10...

    Evolution Skid Plates- Proven Reliability Since 2002

    I installed my skid plate yesterday, and can say that with the exception of dealing with tight spaces for the front rivet nut installation (which seemed to be as secure as I could get them, but still turned ever so slightly when I backed out the riv-nut tool)- all went well. My only concern...

    Block Heater and Fuel Line Heaters

    I installed a TDIHeater in my '04 jetta wagon last year. It's a Zerostart cirulating heater that has been configured specifically for TDI install.

    If you are interested in instant heat (never mind the benefit of extending engine life), I can say first hand that some kind of circulating heater is a real bonus- especially considering the longer warm-up periods for our super efficient diesel engines.
