    BEWARE! Text message scammers!

    I have a car listed here and also on my local Craigslist. I made the mistake of putting my cell phone number on the posting. I have not sold a car in a while so I've been out of the scammer-loop. I got an almost immediate text response from an anonymous person in Akron Ohio who would "buy the...

    Are there any QUALITY STARTERS out there anymore?

    OK, my B5 Passat 5-spd build car likely needs a starter, and many I talk to are concerned that re-builds these days are junk. Some even say the VW parts ones are crap too, all built in China. Does anyone have any good leads on QUALITY rebuilds? There used to be a family run...

    FOR SALE: M&R SPRINGS, B5 Passat wagon.

    H&R. Typo in the Title, can't edit it. Dang. http://www.hrsprings.com/ These are really nice springs, they lower the car about 3/4", perhaps as much as an inch. They create a very taught suspension that is great for good road surfaces and are just fun as all heck to drive. I was riding...

    TDI swap questions!

    I'm considering dropping a TDI in an early 2000's Manual Passat Wagon. I would get a wrecked TDI donor car and swap everything out... I can get a 5-spd 1.8 gasser cheap... needs engine work... Wrecked early-mid 2000's TDI Autos are available all over the place. Any issues using this...
