    NoVA/DC Vag-Com help. Car parked...not safe to drive...

    So I've been trying to sort out a brake problem on my car, and it was suggested to have a VAG-COM check done on the ABS system. I am leaning towards the brake booster being the issue(see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=296440 ) But I can't really drive the car (2002 Golf)...

    Brake Booster Failure?

    So I've been dealing with a potential brake booster failure on my 2002 Golf. I have replaced all the vacuum lines in the car, including the hard lined vacuum pump to booster. There has been no difference with those replacements. The white/black check valve appears to function fine as well...

    Swaybar bushings...the numbers aren't adding up...

    Through my searches part # 1j0411314c is superseded by part # 1j0411314r. Part numbers ending in 'g' were superseded by the 't' - 23mm. But since when did a 2002 TDI come with a 21mm sway bar?(as the 'r' is 21mm...as is the 'c' according to searches I've done) I don't have a means to measure...

    Anyone with a spare 'Window Reapir Kit'...Right Front...DC Area?

    Fortunately the weather is great...right now...but my '02 finally suffered the 'fall of the window' while I was on the road this afternoon. I don't think the window is broken. I have yet to pull the panel off, but I suspect the clips broke. Seeing how this is the end of the day Friday and...

    The mysterious 'blob' in my sealed diesel container...

    So I dumped in a 5 gallon container of diesel stored since late Oct... Said container was sealed, sitting in the same dark location and otherwise undisturbed until I opened it to put in the Golf. I usually don't put every last drop in just as there always seems to be flecks of this and that; and...

    Because I had time to kill...Oil Filters Side by Side

    I did a quick search and didn't really find much info on the oil filters for the MKIV ALH...and what the differences (if any) there are. I've never done an oil analysis, nor did I want to dig through the threads on that to see if people had done any analysis with all else (relatively) equal...

    Engine Mount Time. People use the INA? Or?

    What are people doing about engine mounts on their modded engines? I had been planning on refreshing the engine mounts in my '02 once I hit 100K, but that is happening a few thousand miles sooner given my recent clutch issues.(though I have to wait a month after returning from some travels)...

    'New' Intake manifold - photos

    So I finally got my 'new' intake manifold on my '02 Golf. It's off of a 1X coded engine (non-turbo VW T4 from the early '90s). Had to do a bit of cutting/grinding on the backside in order for it to clear the EGR port (now used for EGT probe - ala MCA) and oil feed line for the turbo.(material...

    Feeler for a 2.5" stainless side-exit exhaust by GHL...MKIV

    I think it's time for me to move on from the 2.5" side-exit exhaust I've had on my car for a couple years now. (granted I'm moving towards a 3" turbo back...so yeah...) This is for a MKIV. What I am putting a feeler out to see if there is interest over is a catback 2.5" stainless steel...
