The transmission cover on my MKIV Golf is leaking. I touched it with a screw driver and created a very pronounced hole. Is this common and, where can we replace the transmission cover cheaply? I found this for 70 from IDI parts...

All-- I am selling my black 2003 Golf GLS ALH with 178k. It is a 5 speed transmission with alloy wheels, arm rest, sunroof. Primary reason for selling is that I wasn't able to find the oil leak and need to move on. I bought an 08 A3 manual transmission gasser. Perhaps I'll get a TDI again...

I have been trying to track down an oil leak. When I removed the flex pipe and cat today as the flex pipe needed replacement, I got a better look. A few weeks ago, I replaced the vac pump seal and RTV sealed the valve cover I also replaced the braided oil return line about 5k ago trying to...

There is a question for the forum at the end of the post. I bought tires from Costco a few years ago and they have a free tire rotation service and fixing leaks etc. I brought my car in at the end of December to have a leak fixed in one tire and the tires rotated. A week later I was driving...

Any recommendations on taking care of underbody rust? Is there a forum thread on taking care of it? (Searched and didn't see it.) Most of the body shops in the area say they only do collision repair. I put the car on jackstands and one size the side skirts/rocker panel is in need of work. Do...

Had to buy a new hatch, so I have the over the trunk brake light from my old hatch. 30+ Shipping/OBO.

My VW is a 2003 TDI so it is a no go for any refund.. Should I try gaming the system and buying something like this 2009 TDI for $4k and get money from VW and a buy back? We know they won't have a fix for one of the earlier ones.. http://annapolis.craigslist.org/cto/5562395400.html (no...

Folks- My car is making a loud ish gear noise when traveling at high speeds. *I have taken the car out of gear and the noise persists which makes me think it may be a lack of fluid in the transaxel or something. I have put a different set of tires on and the sound is not from the tires... Any...

I purchased a Zero Start 8000 coolant heater a few years ago while living in Vermont and working at ski mountain on weekends. I never installed it. Now I am living in DC where it does not get cold, I don't have any place to plug it in, so it doesn't make sense for me to keep it. I also have a...

Finally looking for an IP. -Thanks, M
