    2014 eos

    Any thoughts, experiences, pros or cons. I would like a convertible summer only car. Mazda Miata vs VW Eos. Not looking for remarks about practicality but to me, an Eos looks like a fun summer car. I know nothing about 2.0' TSI engine reliability. What I do like is the DSG vs slushbox...

    Need guidance new spring and strut install

    About a month or so ago I had a local shop do the install. Everything seemed fine. Last week the drivers side front started to make a rattle/clunk sound, so I scheduled an appointment for the same shop to diagnose. Well after they spent a good three hours they could not find the source of...

    ET/offset on wheels

    Man I know I should be able to figure this out for myself but a little help cant hurt. I have a 2014 Passat with factory 18" wheels with an offset 42mm. I have hated the ride and replacement price for that tire size. I have searched Vortex and CR for a set of OE Passat 16" wheels to no avail at...

    16" Biolines on 2012+ Passat

    Has anyone here used 16" Bioline wheels from Jetta on their Passat? From what I can tell fitment should be OK but the ET 50 concerns me. Maybe I'm over thinking this any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Passat NMS Suspension Mods

    Are there any besides H&R sway bars and springs? Cannot find any struts or shocks anywhere. Don't want coilovers. Don't want to lower the car, just improve the drive ability. Compared to my 2010 JSW it drives like a boat.

    Synpower 507.00?

    I have been a member of this forum for over a year and have lurked through what you guys say. Last time I posted about the virtues of BP Amoco Premier I got blasted for thinking it was a better fuel than run of the mill go juice. Here is my dilemma; I took my 2010 Jetta SW TDI into the dealer...

My insurance company sez take it where you want for repair. Any advice here would be helpful. The car is a 2010 Jetta Sportwagen. Question...
