I am trying to figure out what opening I have on my nozzle. The previous owner of my 03 JW purchased them from DBW in 2013. his notes say "ULSD 520 from Dribiwire". That all I got. Waiting to hear back from him. Is he still a member here? I couldn't find his user name. I am making the...

My wife and I and our 4 month old just wrapped up a 2 week, 2674 mile trip clockwise around lake Michigan. Our 03 Jetta Wagon outfitted with a roof rack and bag performed flawlessly. It was packed to the gills and it leveled the towing springs out nice. We average 41 MPGs on the nose with that...

I just replaced axles on my 03 JW ALH O2M 6 speed. Getting a resonance under acceleration in every gear. I have a GKN drivers (PN for Turbo S) and a CRAP (small diameter shaft) passenger side only because I couldn't source a GKN axle or GKN CVs in a timely manner. I had to get the car running...

Hey All My car has been leaking about a half a quart per day for the last week. Found it leaking at the heater core connection. it looks like it is coming out of the plug in and not from inside the fire wall. I have NO coolant coming through the vents, just dripping from this spot. It leaks...

Im getting ready to change the clutch on my 01 Golf. it has 335k miles on it. I figured while i had it apart i would change the turbo (it seems to be leaking more oil and i have to clean the vanes every year now) and do intake cleaning and possibly EGR delete since i am loosing coolant and can...

Is the O2M (6 speed) reverse switch the same as the O2J (5 speed)? I suspect that my reverse switch is bad in my 03 JW. it has the 6 speed swap. Thanks in advance

Do not contact anyone with the email sjonn365@gmail.com or blackrein58@gmail.com. They are scammers that are known on other car forums. Unfortunately i didn't do my homework and trusted them to buy fenders off of. I was told by a TDIclub member that Sjonn365 had fenders he wanted to part with...

I have an 01 golf and want to get fenders. mine are rusted out and need replaced. They dont need to be perfect but i dont want rusty ones. I need the drivers side more than the passenger side. Anyone have them?

I just picked up a super nice 03 Jetta Wagon off of a fellow member of the forum. It has zero rust on it. I was wondering what others have used to mitigate rust on the VWs? I want the Wagon to last a long time so i am willing to spend the time and some money to make sure it stays nice. I hear a...

I am in the market for a vehicle. a 2015 GSW is one of our options. What will the warranty be if i buy from these options: 1) CPO from VW dealer? 2) Non CPO? 3) private sale? Also how do i know that the dealer has bought it from the VW auction? Thanks

I was driving to work this morning and was ready to do my weekly Italian tune. I was going up a steep hill then down shifted to 3rd and when i accelerated i heard a pop and lost power. Black smoke poured out. I got to the top of the hill and found that the intercooler bottom had blown right...

My 01 ALH has developed a long whine under 2 psi. The spooling whine noise goes away above 2 psi. Also, My car used to have negative boost with no throttle coasting around at 1500 rpm but is now about .5 psi. (I need to look at idle but keep forgetting). It whines idling but is quiet. It whines...

I have put 120k miles (214K total on the odo) on my Golf and have replaced both front wheel bearings 4 times. i had the typical roaring sound. the sound goes away on a left hand turn.

I will be putting larger tires on my lifted Golf this spring. probably 215/75/15 BFG ATs like frankencar had on his bettle. I want the odometer to read spot on because i dont want to have to calculate each time i log my mileage. does the dakota digital SGI-5 just do the speedo or both odometer...

It is supposed to be 10 degree F tomorrow morning and I am tired of freezing for the 1st 10 miles of my 43 mile commute. I am too cheap to buy an actual grill cover,So I figured I would slap something together. Upper Radiator Cover: Duct tape wrapped cardboard inserts. I wrapped them in...
