Hi all, In so many ways I hate doing this, but it is time. I've loved this car since 2011, when I purchased it from the original owner at around 75k miles. I put lots of time and money into tasteful upgrades (much to my wife's annoyance), and it has accompanied us through two children and many...

Anyone know where I can get one of these, or have one? http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=336421 I haven't popped my valve yet to check, but figure it would be good to have one just in case I need it.

About a month ago I was happy to get some new Continental Purecontacts installed at a local tire chain. I was the last one to jack my car up before that point and never had any damage, and it hasn't been jacked up since. Just today I caught a view of the bottom side of my car and noticed that...

At this point in VW's history, I'm very happy to have my ALH, running a renewable diesel fuel with lower emissions and carbon impact than ULSD, and lower emissions than B20 (but not B100 apparently, see http://dieselhpr.com/assets/media/DieselHPR_Fuel_Specification.pdf). The benefit of being in...

My MK4 Golf has Michelin Primacy's from the previous owner. Two of them are stamped sometime in 2008, and two are stamped 2010. My car currently has ~116k miles, and I believe the 2010 tires were purchased with around ~68k (let's call it 50k miles on those). The 2008 tires are obviously older...

Figured it was time I posted some pictures. I don't have a lot of performance upgrades (yet) besides a tune, but I have done a lot to improve the aesthetics and interior with OEM and OEM+ upgrades and some other goodies over the years (see signature for a list). (Can you find the kitty in...

So I recently had a local hitch welder make a custom hitch for my TDI: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=441438 I know I'm being picky, but I really don't like where my hitch pin hole ended up, basically overlapping the lower bumper cover. My options are to cut the cover more and...

SOLD LOCALLY. Thanks Excellent condition. OEM part #: 1J0-071-104. I used it a total of 3-4 times. Reason for sale is that I am going to get a hitch installed and will use a hitch-mounted rack instead. This will come with both keys and all hardware in great shape. It is stashed up in my garage...

Heads up on a deal that sounds too good to be true, but I think its legit! See my post here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showpost.php?p=4788970&postcount=24

I have a SGII. I live near sea level so it usually reads close to zero at idle for the BST / boost reading (which factors in barometric pressure). I have noticed that if I go up to a different altitude on the same trip, it will throw my BST reading off so that it might read negative or...

Can someone clarify for me the relationship of boost and mpg when driving at steady highway speeds (say 70mpg or more?). Mine cruises at very low boost at those speeds, 1.5-3 or so. My instinct would be that slightly higher boost would get somewhat better economy, but I don't really know since...

SOLD AND SHIPPED I have a working MAF from an ALH. It is the older style Bosch sensor. Judging from my VCDS logs, it is still in decent shape and does not throw any codes. I replaced it when troubleshooting some things with my new tune, and decided to keep the new one, which responds a hair...

Hi, I'd appreciate any insights into my last two oil analyses. Copper slightly elevated, and lead went up significantly this last time. Any idea what could be going on and what steps I should take to head it off? More info here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showpost.php?p=4772383&postcount=3274
